Using drill as screwdriver

I got it at good price

Never confuse cost with value

wasted ten quid on a crap Chinese "tool" and found out that your (no doubt no name) manual rivet gun is crap.

After waiting for my no-name china circlip pliers to arrive, I can confirm the rivet tool is seriously heavy duty. So heavy duty, in fact, they didn't bother to pack grease for the bearing. This is going to be a life time tool.

There's certainly a big tool in this thread.

A tool for life, not just for Christmas?

The bearing assembly was very likely to be made from tool steel. They may have used machine oil on it. But, I packed it with grease and can expect a life time supply of cheap and high quality looking boxes.

Whilst looking for an alligator saw on Amazon today, I came across product suggestions for cheap Chinese tat reciprocating saw attachments for drills.

I am reminded of the pants attachments that were available for the old metal Black and Decker drills.

I am aware that you think that all tradesmen are charlatans that were pushed out of the womb to rip off fine upstanding people like you, but can you explain why I have about 7 sanders that cost a total of about £3000 when I could pay £20 for a drill attachment from Amazon?

Nothing says quality more than having to repair a tool after a few uses.

I still haven't worked out if your account is a parody account or not. If yes, kudos.

Bad jobs attract bad jobs comes to mind. I think I have 3 sanders somewhere. But, I use a block of wood.

Where does it say repair? Someone said it was cr*p, I verify their claim.

Well, the drill passed its MOT with flying colours. No lost of torque could be perceived. Polishing car or polishing floor will be all fine.

Looks good.

First rivet of the day and it's easy piecey. The new driver smells of burning even without load. It also gets warm a bit quick. No doubt the resident motor winders (windups?) will be telling me it will blow. Maybe it will, I got it at good price.
