Bosch was known for years in Europe as a top line manufacturer of electrical components for the automotive industry, if you want to get rid of your Lucas electrical system in your British car, Bosch is the way to go.

I`ve never had a British car except for an Austin mini write off form salvage which turned out to be too far gone to mess with. I`ve hear of their power tools and kitchen appliances.

I've got a Bosch hammer with a drill attachment that's 40 years old and has it's own metal case, it still kicks azz and is rebuildable. The only plastic on it is the trigger.

I have an old Sears 1/2'' drill, no plastic on it at all. Unfortunately the chuck is worn out and when I tried to buy a new one 20 yrs ago it was half the price of the drill so I didn`t bother.

Good morning everyone, it is a little chilly this morning at -38°C and wind chills between -42° and -48°C. It might be a good day to stay inside..

Hello Grant; John, Steve, Perry, Shaun and all who lurk here.
-20°C and -27°C wind chill, told to possibly expect blizzard like conditions this weekend.
Looks likes your truck starter will have to wait a bit John.

I don't often drive this truck, it sits in the driveway until I need it. It would be nice to have a newer one but not worth spending the money to get another just to have it sit in the driveway like this one..
