Black and Decker Hammer Drill

Advantages: Value for Money
Disadvantages: Does not come with drill bits or case

...This hammer drill is great as it good quality and easy to use (a must for me). It has all the standard features you would expect from hammer dills. To prove how good quality Black and Decker are I still have my dads old drill which must be over 10 Years old and its still in working order. I reason I got a new one was that the old one was a bit basic and did not have all the gadgets that the new versions have on them. It was also really good Value for money. I would buy it again...

Review of Black & Decker DR402K - Hammer Impact Drill

Killer Drill(er)

Advantages: Cordless, Quick Charging, Good Features
Disadvantages: Pricey comapred to others

...It's a drill. It's cordless. It's got hammer-action and a screw-driving setting. And if you've seen on in the shops and are wondering whether or not it's any good, read on. Some time ago I bought a shed, which I had great fun putting together. Unfortunately I didn't have a power-drill/screwdriver at the time and so it was put together using nails. Which isn't a bad thing in itself, and the shed is still standing. But building things with screws is a lot more fun, especially if it involves a power-tool. It must be a caveman thing, the whole fascination with powertools. I'd imagine that if my great-great(to the power of lots) grandfather LegendaryMrUgg had owned a Black & Decker PowerFlintAxe, he'd have been the envy of the pre-historic world. And that's how I feel about my latest toy. Handy-work has never been a strong-point in my...

Review of Black & Decker - 12V Cordless Hammer Drill

This is the cheap one, not the hammer version.

Advantages: Cheap, better than expected.
Disadvantages: Instructions could be better.

...How can any drill that cost £12.99 be any good? That was my first thought too. Strolling through Great Mills/ Focus DIY, I spotted a drill/ driver for the silly price of £12.99, “probably good for making holes in chocolate and cheese!” I said trying to cover up a genuine interest. Fact is I’d thought about getting a cordless screwdriver for ages and never got round to it. I sidled over to the large pile of boxes trying to be aloof, picked one up and started to read. Power Devil PDX72, cordless drill-driver, reverse action, 7.2volt motor, 450rpm, 6 torque settings, 5-hour charge time. Well 450rpm is faster than any cordless screwdriver I’d seen so at least it should be able to screw screws in and out. The price was close to that of a cordless screwdriver anyway so I went mad and bought one. I had...

Review of Power Devil Cordless Hammer Drill

Bosch those shelves onto that wall with ease

Advantages: Easy to use, several 'power' options for various 'jobs' and good battery time
Disadvantages: none for the price.

...I am the proud owner of several DIY tools, from your basic claw hammer to an industrial circular saw, (which, when I use it, still manages to scare the hell out of me sometimes). Anyway, the biggest boon in the Do It Yourself world has got to be the cordless/ battery powered power tool collection, such as saws, sanders, planes and especially the good old cordless power drill, with a vast range of power options. I do own a few of these type of drills, even a JML Dual Drill, which is a true genius in itself, and a few others of different power ratings, including the rather fine Bosch PSB 18VE2, which this review is going to be about. It claims to be the ultimate cordless combi drill which will bore through materials such as wood, masonry and even steel, (of course this depends on the actual drill bit), whilst still be capable...

Review of Bosch PSB 18VE2 - 18V Cordless Hammer Drill

Two drills in one hand is worth the one hundred you pay

Advantages: Saves time, safe and easy to use and great power
Disadvantages: Looks a little strange

...like a deformed hammer drill, but you soon get passed the looks and will be amazed just how useful this really is. It offers? * Up to 1100 RPM, giving you plenty of power. * 20 torque settings for the more delicate drilling/screwing * Trigger control with variable speed, giving full control during use. * Two metal gears, giving ample power for everyday tasks. * Built in spirit level to help with straight drilling. * Magnetic grip, to stop the dropping of screws **IN CONCLUSION? I have owned my Duel drill for a while know and am so pleased that I bought it in the first place. Anyone who does any form of DIY will know how frustrating it is when you have to change the drill bits, either to change the bit or to replace it with a drive bit so you can drive that screw home, only to then have to change...

Review of JML Dual Drill Max

Nice Drill, shame about the bits

Advantages: Excellent all-round tool, easy to use, not too expensive and even I can use it.
Disadvantages: Cheap screwdriver bits let down an otherwise great product

...to fathom torque control, and a hammer drill funtion for those tricky solid bits that need holes in them. There is also a superb little feature at the back end of this drill - a tiny spirit level, so you can see just how wonky the hole you were going to drill would have been. There is also a second battery pack, so you dont run out of power in the middle of a job. The only complaint I have about this tool is the poor quality of the two scewdriver bits supplied with the drill - one of these bent the first time I used the drill. It seems a shame to attempt to ruin what is otherwise an excellent tool with a little penny-pinching. Overall, an excellent and easy-to-use tool, which I would recommend to anyone - a snip at less than £80.00...

Review of B&Q CLM12CHD Pro - Cordless Hammer Drill

Tip Drill T.I.P. Style

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: One weak track

...?T.I.P. Drill? came as a 2009 mixtape from the Atlanta rapper T.I. and it finds that it is dropped during his prison sentence from firearms charges. In the thing you get both some fresh cuts (tracks which were all recorded on the lead-up to his time serving at Forest City Correctional Facility) and also some of his biggest hits form earlier in his career. 1. ?Welcome Back To The Trap? (Intro) 2. ?Don?t Give Up? You get a banger of a track here as you see that the rapper comes in strong with an up-lifting track that seems to bring the thing up and give you a chance to actually have fun as you listen to his rhymes as he gets rid of all the Trap-Rap material and Gangsta Rap themes in order to talk on how he has come up from very little and has achieved a lot (even though this dropped whilst he was in prison serving for a year). It is...

Review of Hammer and Pegs

UPDATED - Hammerite gets you hammered

Advantages: One coat usually covers all, but may require two.
Disadvantages: Be aware of the fumes.

...UPDATE - OK, boring review on a tin of paint, but just to remind you that this is only being made for another few weeks, so you will be hard pressed to find it in the shops after that. There are other alternatives, but in my opinion not as good as the genuine Hammerite. Secondly, I must just say that although I think the Hammerite range is fantastic, I always use it with adequate ventilation. The fumes from this paint are not pleasant. The main thing is to wire brush every bit you want to paint first, and don't paint in direct sunlight. With the hammered finish, you can paint it on liberally, and get away with one coat, although Hammerite do recommend two coats applied within six hours. Compared with smooth - it has a similar consistency, but obviously dries with a textured surface, not unlike a proper hammer beaten piece...
