Good part with minor defects

The hammer does its job well and without problems. Drilling 24er walls out of concrete blocks with a 16 mm drill are not a problem. Therefore I can for the drilling performance, always measured by the price of course, awarded an A +.

But, it should not be ignored, some small devaluations there yet. The end cap of additional handle drops constantly. This cap is simply pressed, neither anywhere snapped, still glued. The power cable is also advised quite short. It is actually not possible to work without extension. Similar products from other manufacturers offer more here. The closures of the case are not really useful in the long run. Here is just trusting that something more stable plastic let itself press behind somewhat softer plastic and snaps there a. This does not work reliably, and when the softer plastic not we give way provided the closure at this point has lost its function forever.

Now have repeatedly following must determine:

If the device has not been used a long time (several months) then it can not use it properly, a drill or other tool. The locking mechanism in the drill chuck just does not. Only with a lot of tweaking and tinkering it comes suddenly. And then it goes on, until the next use break of several months.

I must therefore reduce my rating to two stars.
