Look like the old quality ones made by Vickers Crayford ( ex machine gun factory ) I had four with a bench bolted on top.

I was in Lidl this evening and spotted their 20V cordless glue gun for £15.99
It works very well indeed. Ready to use in under a minute. LED goes from red to green, easy to use. It has a work light that can be turned off if desired.
I actually got a use for it within minutes and it worked great. Very pleased with it.
Since I am now on their 20v platform I also bought one of these drills on ebay
I took Parkside as a bit of a joke until I bought a job lot of tools which included several new 12v Parkside tools and batteries etc. I have been using away at them for about a year now no issues at all very happy.

See thats a performance range black one, the green ones from the shop are pretty ordinary, I've had 2 fail / replaced.
How much and where from if you don't mid me asking?

It was £59.99 on fleabay from a private seller in Belfast. New sealed. That was the best price I could see for it I think they *might* have been dearer in shop.
It'll be my first brushless cordless drill looking forward to trying it. I also ordered 2no new 4ah batteries on ebay for it. Cheaper on ebay than in Lidl this evening! £30 each in store or £18 each on ebay.

We bought something similar last year, has it got a compartment at the back for water and an ice pack?

I don't know, but will check tomorrow as that would be a nice addition if it did.
Came across one of them in the deserted village on top of a mountain in North Wales. Nothing left but stone walls and a hand crank pillar drill, spooky!Dad picked this at an auction at over the weekend. Might look nice with a lightbulb screwed into the top…..
