    Mapei Eco Prim Grip - any good?

    Hi Paul Thanks for that. I wouldn't want to spoil the job for the sake of a bit more work and taking the old tiles off is my 'prefrerred' method ( glutton for punishment) so I'll just have to get on with it. :(

    Worx - a cautionary tale.

    I'll look into that and get back to Argos if that's the case.

    Worx - a cautionary tale.

    Hi woody, you may be right but I was told the contract with the seller is 12 months and any warranty offered by the manufacturer is over and above that, but needs to be dealt with at manufactuer level. In addition, EU rules suggest that it's 24 months with the seller. I have read before about...

    Worx - a cautionary tale.

    It was bought in Argos 18 months ago, so outside their remit to cover the warranty. Worx offer a 3 year warranty, but as you can see, it is not worth the paper it's written on.

    Worx - a cautionary tale.

    Hi Ken, my social media skills are zero...I leave that for the kids to play with. Sammy, like that idea, but it would appear that the Worx drill that I have has been superceded with a similar model but small changes to design. Probably as a hurdle to stop unwary customers doing just as you...

    Worx 373.2 combi drill clatter ( noisy pawl?)

    Same with any Chinky stuff really, it's good for a while then just a PITA when it breaks. Ryobi is just another huge corporate brand, I used to use Ryobi printing presses, which were good but hard to find anyone that could fix them.

    Mapei Eco Prim Grip - any good?

    OK, so no experience of it then? Maybe it's so bad that the question shouldn't even have been raised. Chiselling off all the old tiles it is then....wait, my feckin' SDS drill is busted.

    Worx - a cautionary tale.

    I have posted this within another thread but posted it here in case it is useful to anyone considering buying any Worx products. A week ago, the chuck jammed open without warning. It;s over a year old, so the tool is now useless, but hooray, there is a 3 year warranty on it...fantastic. So I...

    Worx 373.2 combi drill clatter ( noisy pawl?)

    Since last Tuesday ( a week now) I have been trying to get my Worx drll sorted under the 3 year warrranty. I have spoken to and emailed three differnt 'customer advisors' and yet not one of them has been any more useful than a chocolate teapot. -First, I had to send in my life story too 'advisor...

    Mapei Eco Prim Grip - any good?

    Has anyone used ( or would recommend using) Mapei Eco Prim Grip or similar? I realise that tiling onto properly sound wallls is best, but my bathroom is coverd top to toe in ceramic tiles by the previous owner, so I was wondering about tiling on top to save time? The bathroom is in constant...

    Worx 373.2 combi drill clatter ( noisy pawl?)

    Me too, but the SDS drill receipt blew away along with the tape that was supposed to sticking it!

    Worx 373.2 combi drill clatter ( noisy pawl?)

    Good advice...I usually buy a cheapish tool for a particular job as and when, but end up using it more than I thought. Maybe time to pay more.

    Worx 373.2 combi drill clatter ( noisy pawl?)

    I'm an impatient bugger so as no reply to my email to Worx, I called them today to see what happens about faulty or defective products. Their answer was somewhat irritating because they simply said that somebody would respond to my email, probably this week and then I have to send in my reciept...

    Worx 373.2 combi drill clatter ( noisy pawl?)

    Not sure about the first bit of your post, but the BTBT bit....I know, but as I'm just a DIYer and never owned an SDS drill before, my expectations were higher even for a £60 bit of kit.

    Worx 373.2 combi drill clatter ( noisy pawl?)

    Well I would have like my SDS drill to last longer, as it's only fitted about 6 windows, 2 doors and knocked some tiles off a wall. Spoke to the MacAllister product specialist and they do not stock any internal parts. B and Q will need to see my receipt (which I can't find), so it looks like...

    Worx 373.2 combi drill clatter ( noisy pawl?)

    If worx decide to tell me similar then there is going to be a problem. Didn't you go back to the supplier to demand that it was fixed or replaced under the normal UK warranty of 12 months? I'm looking for parts for the SDS at the moment, but nothing coming up. It's one of those BandQ brands...

    Worx 373.2 combi drill clatter ( noisy pawl?)

    Just an update: Yesterday after moderate use since buying it, the chuck jaws have jammed. I can't find this particular model locally (Worx373.2) so have contacted Worx and will now see how good the 3 year warranty is. Also, my cheap but useful Mac SDS drill decided to smash it's clutch...

    Police called about a fence!!!

    @honda They got removed with a lot of f'ing by the neighbour. @freddymercurystwin Your reading it wrong, I'm saying that the Police weren't interested either and just wanted to move on. They knew it was a waste of their time, but it was their duty. They didn't even have a specific complaint...

    Police called about a fence!!!

    Good idea! But all that was before the PC brigade took charge, whereby common sense gets kicked out and needy parasites win.
