Yesterday, my battery (4ah Li-Ion) and screwdriver of dewalt brushless XR have fallen down from 15 meters, by other person... The question about battery: if it's working good now, and charging too, can it be some bad impact on battery (of fall to the ground) for using in future or It should be everything ok? I mean, maybe it'll stop working about few of days
It were stones and concrete, unfortunately.. The effect: the battery was laying in other place then screwdriver.
The battery became detached on impact which was probably a good thing, is the battery casing in good order.?
The screwdriver is cracked at the bottom, where the battery is attached. Tomorrow I'll take a pic and you'll see what I mean There is just a very small fracture after dropped
Well already had a DeWalt DCD 785 XR cordless drill and an Angled driver, charger 1.5 and 4 ah batteries. The 785 was left amongst my stuff on a job and the guy never came back for it. This week picked up a naked XR cordless saw, a naked top end impact driver and a 5 ah battery for £299. Apart from another small drill to avoid the hassle of swapping bits over and another large battery, I am done on this side. I'll just keep lurking looking for opportunist offers. So now its a matter of getting rid of all my older 18v and 28v. When I started sorting out all the bits and pieces for the DeWalt tools, it surprised me how much stuff I had that no longer need. Just how many 110v transformers do you need 3? SDS drills 5 ? So its time for a massive clear out and hopefully get some money back towards swapping out some of my routers for a Festool router and rail system and a Festool circular saw as the current Dewalt will go in the clear out. Looking forward to getting some space back and some new toys to play with.
SDS drills , went through mine last week, shock to find I have 132 of them from 5mm to 26mm in various lengths, probably a few more lurking in the darker recesses of my my workshop.Holes saws are starting to breed though,up 32 so far, can't even remember buying some of them. 110v transformers only two, a 3.3kw & a 5kw.
Its strange isn't it how this stuff breeds. Quite often its - "that's cheap, I will get it while its there, I will always use it!". The other reason is that I prefer to buy rather than hire. Boxes of bits but actually have 5 SDS powerd drills / chisels excluding the 15 kg breaker. I reckon I going to get rid of around half of my stuff.
