Corona mill woes

[Garry]

I've yet to try rebuilding one of those battery packs but it's on my to-do list.

When you smell the copper (windings) heating up you know you're on borrowed time! Do I keep going or let it cool down

And that applies to mills. Anyone thinking of getting a mill I'd advise buy a roller, even just for peace of mind. You'll never feel inferior!

Drills, unless they're something like DeWalt or Makita they're all cheap. Bosch cordless for €70 lasted a few weeks, Argos cordless €30 lasted 10 years, so it's luck of the draw. (New Argos drills don't seem as robust and the batteries don't last so long)

I use a black and Decker that must be 25+ years old. Works a treat but there is no control over it like you have with a cordless.

Roller mill all the way. The midst reliable you can afford.

+1, I have an old black and decker drill that I got from the old fella, as he moved to using cordless ones, and it works really well.
