If you're "drilling" then use a 240 volt one

If you're "screwing" then you won't be worried about D I Y 

Indeed, and a must if drilling into concrete with a suitable bit, with hammer ability.  With really tough, reinforced concrete, a Kango drill is the baby to use as I have found out in my ‘concrete everywhere’ flat!

Your neighbours must love you.

Hammer drill in a flat will shake their fillings loose.

Not to mention the fact that the concrete is what holds the building up

When I am putting up batons for new curtain tracks, or extending my ring mains for new sockets, I have no choice. As for the concrete ceilings that are faced with plaster, extending any lighting is a real pain.

Thank goodness though I have now completed all my renovations before I am past it!

You need a man about the house, Lizzie.

Skruntie has always had a yen for you and I believe he is still a bachelor.

Wedding bells?

That’s very true.  I have no one else to blame when things go wrong but myself, and as for maintaining the car………!!

I should be a lady living in luxury, pampered endlessly, and never having to go under the bonnet or the whole car ever again

I use the older DeWalt (NiCd 18v) ones, namely because following the garage incident, it was all my little bro could find on his skip diving adventures

No issues with it, although I've had to replace the batts.  My batts I'm currently using are 2013 and 2014 and 2019.  Got a couple of drills, impact wrench, impact driver, right angled drill, torch and so on.

We now call it an incident, and speak no more of it.  Mrs TB is still a bit sensitive over it...   ...and it was 9yrs ago
