[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1039983, member: 176704"] Pictures below. I like both tools and everything seems "fine" - until the last few shots which show that the knobs on the ends of the 3 rods which you use to lower/raise the chuck on the drill. 2 out of 3 just shattered the first time I put any rotational pressure on them because of a basic design fault in the rods in that they screw into the narrow ends of the knob, but there is just not enough "meat" there to take the pressure and so they break away! Not a big problem because I have now ordered some 30mm round ones (the shape they should have been to start with!) to replace the existing ones and, BTW, the required female thread in the knobs is M8 - unfortunately they are probably coming from the Far East and so will take 2-3 weeks. PS: also ordered 2m of 40mm i/d flexible hose to attach to the rear extraction vent on the mitre saw because I don't want the sawdust flying everywhere (as happened up to now with the old saw) - just need to find the right sort of largish plastic container to fit that into, and somewhere to locate it (probably under the Bench drill) [/QUOTE]
