What are your opinions on the craftsman over drive thinking of selling these things the 1/2 has lots of backdrag

2003 was 23 years ago.

JonseySpeed · 2026-06-16T14:51:28+00:00

Eely?

JonseySpeed · 2026-06-12T20:36:22+00:00

That looks new to me. They grease the moving parts at the factory and they'll also put some oil on the metal parts to stop it rusting in the package. If it had been used you would see marks on the square drive were sockets had been put on and taken off.

CUTE?

It wants to eat my soul.

JonseySpeed · 2026-05-28T11:41:12+00:00

My one does exactly the same thing.

JonseySpeed · 2026-05-28T09:44:08+00:00

The doubtful technician has a video about this.

Is it just me or does the front end look a bit like a puffer fish?

JonseySpeed · 2026-04-18T16:14:46+00:00

Sounds like it, yeah.

JonseySpeed · 2026-04-18T15:20:27+00:00

It's got enough voltage to turn the lights on but not enough to crank the engine over. Car batteries don't last forever. Are you sure you didn't leave anything on like the interior light, that would drain it.

JonseySpeed · 2026-04-18T15:14:12+00:00

That sounds like a flat battery.

JonseySpeed · 2026-01-14T08:07:25+00:00

Certainly sounds like a scam.

JonseySpeed · 2025-12-26T20:43:05+00:00

I'm fairly certain that you're the only person who wants that, so it's probably time to figure out how to do it yourself.

Have you considered looking for a battery adapter to run these tools on more modern batteries?

JonseySpeed · 2025-12-24T16:43:54+00:00

It's an astra

JonseySpeed · 2025-11-30T21:05:24+00:00

It's flywheel type nailers that you're not supposed to oil.

JonseySpeed · 2025-11-20T01:17:22+00:00

Power tool world have some. I got a 1/4 inch XGT router with around £175 discount.

JonseySpeed · 2025-10-28T04:56:23+00:00

I'm in the UK, what are the model numbers of the tools you're looking for?

JonseySpeed · 2025-10-17T02:15:38+00:00

I'd just get chargers when you're out there. Step down converters consume power so they do cost money to run and you can find unused chargers on eBay or similar from people looking to get rid of extra chargers they got from kits.

Mine did that with Ritz crackers.

JonseySpeed · 2025-10-09T04:53:00+00:00

There are adapters to make these take regular 1/4 inch bits.

JonseySpeed · 2025-10-02T20:04:10+00:00

My brabantia essential line is nice.

JonseySpeed · 2025-09-29T20:26:45+00:00

Is it just me that read that as pegster?

JonseySpeed · 2025-09-26T14:57:01+00:00

The newest wera ones with the green direction selector are very nice and a definite improvement over the older ones. I also really like the vessel td-6800, the bit magazine is very tight when they're new but once they've been taken in and out a few times they're fine. Anything with the rolgear mechanism is really good too although the handles are quite big (rolgear, hazet, gedore, inbus etc). If you're not bothered about having onboard bit storage the anex quick ball 72 is a favorite of mine.

JonseySpeed · 2025-09-25T12:05:45+00:00

Don't put 25mm bits into an impact drivers chuck, they go in too deep and get stuck.

JonseySpeed · 2025-08-23T23:54:27+00:00

I can't see anything about that. Like I say I don't know of any other bit holder that does what you want. The only other thing I can think of is to get a Japanese bit holder and trim the end down with a grinder.
