    Drilling through roof joists.

    Hello all, I've recently built a outhouse, and when I wired it I drilled through the roof joists, as going round the perimeter is a pain. It is in no way going to affect the structure as the roof joists are 6 by 2 and are far over specced for what they are doing or will ever do. I was hoping to...

    Makita AVT or not on hammer drills

    Hi has anyone noticed if there is much of a difference in the vibes to the user between a Rotary hammer and an AVT Rotary Hammer drill? For example Makita HR2611F v HR2610. I am wondering if it is worth the extra few quid for AVT (Anti Vibration Technology)
