Hi Mate, it's a 3 mode. Rotary Hammer (for hammer drilling with SDS bits) Rotary only (for drilling wood / metal - will need to use a standard 3 jaw chuck & adaptor for this) Hammer Only (for light chiselling with an SDS chisel)

Rubbish, the reason most industrial batteries are so expensive is because they use good quality cells, and very few manufacturers actually make batteries themselves. For instance Makita use Sony batteries, so the battery manufacturer can charge a hefty lump, by the time the power tool...

No mate, but I work for a place that sells a quite a lot of it.

Bosch Blue give a 3 year warranty (standard 1 year, but you get an another 2 years free if you register it on line. They will also send a courier to collect a faulty tool, repair it and deliver it back to you within 5 days. They will collect from any address you specify (home, site, distributor...

If you think that one's good wait until you see the one's that Bosch have coming out in the next month or so :wink:

Buy cheap, buy twice. No offence, but didn't the alarm bells start ringing when you realised the grinder was cheaper than the blade you were using?

Bingo - never ever use a diamond tipped core with hammer action on. This is why you've split the core, and the bad news is they will probably not give you your money back either unfortunately. They should always be used with the hammer switched off.

If it's the same as the P18T Loktor (which I think it is) then the hard torque is 70nm. There are two different torque measurements on power tools, and manufacturers normally quote the higher of the two (normally called stalling torque or hard torque) but this isn't really relevant to popular...

Would suggest 99 out of 100 retailers would tell you to sling your hook if you tried this :lol:

Edit: Is this any good? http://www.rutlands.co.uk/hand-tools/marking-&-measuring/stops/DKL32/flip-stop-with-48%22-track

You can normally only get them to fit on the extendable legstands that most manufacturers sell although you may find one that has a universal fitting. Try searching google for something like flip stop, length stop or mitre saw stop. Someone like Axminster or Rutlands may be worth a look as...

No, No, No!!! Even if you can get the chuck or SDS bits to fit in a 3 jaw chuck it won't work properly. SDS Hammer run at a different speed to impact drills, and the hammer mechanism is totally different on each machine. Daft question, but assuming you already own an impact drill with a 3 jaw...

For those who are interested, Stanley purchased the Black & Decker group this week for $4.6 Billion! Went through on Tuesday, and the word is that all the B&D and Dewalt products will be re-named as "Stanley Black & Decker" and "Stanley Dewalt" in the same way as they renamed Bostich as...

Are you using the old bits for ceramics (I think they're called Zip Bits) or the new Diamond X-Bits?

Fantastic tool - have you seen the porcelain bits for this? Core bits & freehand cutting bit that cut DRY in porcelain, and claim 100 holes per bit!

It's definately available in both voltages, and it has roto-stop for chiselling. Oh, and it's Bosch Blue, which seems to be a fairly popular choice round here!!!!

Slightly over your budget but might be worth stretching to an extra £20, you would probably get £50 for the free cordless if you wanted to. http://www.screwfix.com/prods/70640/Power-Tools/Kits/Bosch-2kg-SDS-Hammer-110V-Free-Drill-Driver

:shock: If the OP meant 60mm instead of 600mm then maybe an ixo, if not then you'd be better off with a corded machine, however you wouldn't have torque control. Even an 18v / 24v / 36v machine might do it, but you would probably only get 3 or 4 screws per charge.

Bosch GST135BCE - especially if you're doing worktops, as it has a blade clamp that keeps the blade held straight. It's not cheap but better than anything else on the market, and has a 3 year warranty. http://www.screwfix.com/prods/86519/Power-Tools/Jigsaws/Bosch-GST135-BCE-720W-Jigsaw-110V

Not true - a cheap brand won't have any form of motor protection (coated field coil, armature grid etc) so the dust & crap will get into the motor & kill it quicker.
