More Engineering Pornography

I have a full-size electric drill, but I need something light to put plugs in the plasterboard walls, as although the hand-drill is good, the chuck is not very good and I can’t drill holes deeper than a couple of centimetres.

So I went to Franchi in the Holloway Road and bought a Bosch wine bottle opener.

But it also puts in screws and drills holes.

It is actually quite powerful and is ideal for those small jobs, which don’t need the strongest of tools.  It also sits in a small charger/holder, so you don’t have to charge it up, when you haven’t used it for a few months.

So ladies, you now know what to buy your man for his birthday!  Or for yourself, if you’re an alcoholic with a penchant for expensive wine in corked bottles and you don’t have the strongest of hands.
