ryaldinhio 5,180 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 bought one of these while it was on sale at 99quid. After 2 hours of use the handle went floppy and when I took to bits to have a look the locater pin in the handle had snapped. took it back this morning and replaced for a new one, whilst being told it had reverted to its normal price of 130quid. fired new one up and thought the trigger was a bit stiff, after about 3 hours of use TWANG and now the trigger doesnt work. took it back and have another new one but not holding my breath. Doesnt bother me takin em back every week coz Im ten mins from screwfix. If ur any further dont bother with one of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Aiken 253 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Stripped mine down, changed and upgraded the dodgey bits with stuff I had lying about the the workshop. Used weekly for 3 years within my maintenance company. The upgrades would add maybe £20 to the selling cost and provide a reliable, usable tool! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
