My propensity for buying faulty goods continues.

So, after calling them and checking the drills were MT2, I ordered (on 8th April) a 12-drill set 17/32" - 1" MT2 plus the 1-1/8" MT2 drill.

They arrived from Rocky today (28th April).

The 1-1/8" drill is MT3 and half the 12-drill set is MT2, the other half MT3.

Gaahhhhhhhhh!

Surely, Shirley, I must be able to win one day.

Ron,

I don't know how you manage it!

Mind you, wouldn't have worried me - I run MT3 (and have a selection of adapters to 2 and 1!)

Never mind - you're keeping this thread perking along - it'll eventually start looking starry!

If it makes you feel any better Ron I bought a ARB tyre gauge/deflator and the first one had a leak! I had to take it back and get another.

Other people get faulty stuff too. Just quietly I think it's the way of things these days.

Hey! I like it. I can deflate to whatever pressure I want, not just 18 psi

And it really is fast. You can drop from road pressures to 20psi in about 30 secs.

hmm same here... but can you get MT2 to 3 adapters?? they would be a bit weird.... might be the easy fix for Ron, a new MT3 chuck

That's just tempting fate.

I've seen MT3 (Male) to MT2 (Female) but not the other way around.

My daughter bought me a lever action corkscrew (like this) for Christmas - not a cheapie, either.

The lever handle broke off yesterday. You can see where it has had (for quite a while) a fault line 2/3rd the way through the handle.

I've decided to bookmark this thread so I can find it more easily.

Good news!

GMC posted out two

batteries to replace the one faulty unit. Excellent service.

Ron, you need to add " and recieve faulty goods" to the subject line
