I don’t know if this has already been covered, but I’m so angry right now I could happily advertise on ebay for someone to take my BOSCH PSB 24 VE-2 and pay them to take this useless piece of crap off my hands!
In the beginning....
This thing smokes! (As in I love it). It’s no Makita but if Makita is the King this must surely be the next in succession.
As a slow drill, fast drill, hammer drill, quick grab chuck and blah blah blah.... I was as happy as gay man swimming in an ocean of sausages to start with.
But then it happened. When I come to use it when I most need it, it's flatter than a geriatric’s tit!
Back in the late 80s I got my first one; a 7.2 volt BOSCH ‘drill’ which, okay, I didn’t take seriously as a drill. It was more of a power screwdriver and I didn’t have a problem with that. But it cracked-up after one year and the battery was more to buy, two years later, than a new and better ‘uckin’ drill!
So in the past 20+ years, bringing it forward to circa 2009 when I brought this gimmick, absolutely nothing has changed! They still clap-out after about one year and to buy a replacement battery is more than I paid for the damn drill!
Here I go again today: I pick something up I have paid a lot of money for and it has only enough energy, (despite my attention, care, and charging regime), to turn the focus lens of an ants telescope – it really F@@K’s me off!!!
I put it to you that what we got here is an expensive, useless, ephemeral, agitating gadget which only a stupid man would buy!
Battery powered drills are: -
A) Expensive in the long term
B) Expensive to maintain/service/replace
C) Don’t work after 366 days, just after the guarantee expired.
D) Hyped to make gullible men buy possibly the most over-rated tool you have in your DIY armoury
E) For the sake of 60 seconds there is a better, mains, alternative.
Tell me I’m wrong?
