Eddy Gordo Posted February 19, 2019 Share Possibly, i am sure there is lots of room for improvement. But the tech is awesome either way. Amberdrake and Capricorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the tech is awesome either way.Watch the demo of the owner doing a real live demo with his finger.... damn impressive - as is the cost to fix the saw afterwards... but good value indeed compared to losing 1 or more fingers.

Eddy Gordo Posted February 20, 2019 Share I am in the market for a cordless drill. However I want to be able to, not necessarily, use it on the bicycle as well as drill. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 20, 2019 Share I am in the market for a cordless drill. However I want to be able to, not necessarily, use it on the bicycle as well as drill. Any recommendations?Bosch blue / Makita / Metabo. One with an adjustable clutch torque setting, so that you can adjust the torque way down and then finish tightening with a torque wrench. A basic drill / driver should do the job nicely. If Bosch, go with the GSB instead of the GSR as it has a hammer function. Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came with a bazillion bits and some drills that I'll probably never use (I have a Starrett set that I use), but the Bosch/Makita/Metabo etc were way above my pay grade... if I was using it every day then a different story. I use mine about once a week at the moment and no issues. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Eddy Gordo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it mainly to drive screws etc and drill the odd hole (more as a convenience tool). I still use my corded Bosch GSB16RE to do the steel fabrication holes if it can't be drilled in the pedestal drill and I have an old Bosch blue rotary hammer for masonry. My Adendorff unit only has a 10mm chuck though where as your link is 13mm if I recall? Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebel Posted February 21, 2019 Share Does the unit also have a clutch function like the bosch drills? If you are asking what I think you are asking, it will "slip" depending on your torque settings. Handy for driving screws into timber (Which is mainly what I use it for). You set the torque quite low on pine for example and it stops you stripping the threads or driving the screw too deep.

However, need a cordless one as my previous cheapy is now dead after about 10years. Nogals a game special. I want something with more oomph as I will use it at work on the odd occassion cause then power tools here are never where they supposed to be. Will go check them both next week and decide.
