Bet These Were

[Spare Tool]

...all the rage back in the day. Went the science and history museum yesterday with the kids and saw this in there. 20 year old black n decker battery drill. Was in a case with a betamax video recorder. Wonder if they'll have laser levels and leveling systems in there in 2035

There batteries are rubbish IMO.

Keep using mine to mix grout hoping it'll give up the ghost then I can get a new combi but the motors fine, in fact it seems to have way more tork than my mates Mikita, just the battery only lasts about 15mins constant use, this means constantly having a battery on charge...are the new 18 v 1.4ah batteries any better??
