Hi,
i've got a black and decker kr650 and have been trying to drill through a 2 brick thick wall with a fairly chunky bit. Managed to get through once, but whilst on a second hole, the drill suddenly went dead. There was a bit of a burning smell, but nothing unusual. I fear the worse. I've left the drill for a number of hours to cool down and changed the fuse, but nothing doing. Is it dead? are there any ways of telling?
If it's a gonner, can anyone recommend a decent replacement? I hear bosch power drills are pretty good. I'm looking for a good all rounder, but one that can go through brick without difficulty. What are percussion drills? and are they better than regular hammer drills?
thanks
