Fair enough. It was more a general rant rather than specific to your case.
I also hadn’t noticed your gizmo was under 1000NT, which is pretty reasonable if it lasts for a few jobs. I also like that its 12V.
I got a cheapo 12V rechargeable drill in the UK on the basis that if the battery died I could hook it up to the starter battery. Battery did indeed die during the first job, but I never got around to making an adapter for it. Wouldn’t mind getting another one. You can, of course, make holes with a hand drill, but there isn’t really any substitute for a power tool for abrading rusty steel, which find myself needing to do quite often.
