I have a wolf drill 1/2'' chuck electric about 40 years old its done mega work but its metal including handles and has given me a few shocks over the years. Got way about using it under machinery dont want to wake up dead.
I have bought plastic fully insulated Colt ones from warehouse they cost only 30 slides and they last a few months before burning up from drilling 13mm holes in steel.
So I reckon the commie ones are more cost effective than buying a quality one which is still going to burn out or the chuck gets rooted.

They are the occupying force in Tibet its about time they left.
I dont like commies
I asked some maoris half an hour ago what pakeha meant and they said its description is probaly white pig.


PRC is a communist nation only in NAME (used to be a real communist nation, but not now).

As regards Tibet, I suggest you to study some basic history of China first. And also, ask our Prime Minister, John Key to confirm your views (of course, I respect your views). Can any of the key leaders in the World, like Obama, Kevin Rudd, etc. etc. agree with you that Tibet does not belong to China?

1112550 2010-06-23 10:48:00 Apparently, the Chinese have never inflicted us with Austins, Morris's, EnFo's, Auster, De Haviland, BAE, or Lucas.
I may be wrong, but this has got to be one of the most positive gestures of friendship from a foreign power in our history; the frogs may have blown up one boat, but the poms have persistently been a sack of - err poms. The Chinese have only done good for us. (What did Kiwifruit start as?)

When it comes to bottom feeding manufacturers of over-priced bottom end products, we should loyally support the mother country, as is traditional.

Cicero may disagree, but he is so busy woading up (for the arrival of the cycleway past his door that will save his family fortune)s that he may be distracted. ;)

1112551 2010-06-23 11:02:00 Hard man, whats wrong with EnFos? they made perfectly good cars better than US built ones. prefect (6291)
1112552 2010-06-23 11:29:00 You have just won a lifetime supply of Tui's - - whatever it is they make.

Ref MkIV.

Or "Popular", more correctly known as "Common"due to extreme lack of popularity,

Only car they (or any anglomangler) made right may have been the 107E, probably more aptly named "Anomaly" - it worked.

British cars, and the purchasers, deserved all the Lucas they got.

1112553 2010-06-23 11:36:00 You had to mention the 2.5 litre mark 4 didnt you? Its problem was just the oil pump drive shaft.
I had 52 E93A (close to a pop) from 1972 to 2005 blardy good car. I gave to the ford ten club in swanson.
107e was that a 100e with 105e engine and 4 speed? 105e was a brill car.
I confess to a hatred of English aircraft maintenance wise, have you lockwired something upside down using a mirror? because some sleepy englander designer had not thought about access for maintenance

1112554 2010-06-23 13:55:00 I don't really know that Communism still exist in China, all along I thought it has long gone. If you were to visit any of the cities in China, can you still see any traces of communism? I can't.
If you have any doubts about China being communist why don't you ask that guy who was given an eleven year sentence recently for trying to instigate a little democracy.:horrified

+1 relevant to this forum- motherboards, ram, monitors, cases, optical drives and the overall reliability is higher than 10 years ago when they were made elsewhere.

lol you must have missed all the "Communist" witch hunts that went on in the 50's in the US. People were persecuted for believing in Communism!

Why don't you have a rant about that as well, to keep the balance?. You have been programmed all your life to believe Communism=bad Capitalism=good, you cant see the good and bad in both.
