What Is A Combi Drill

[joggerjayne]

There was an advert on the radio for a "combi" drill.

So a combi drill is a "combination" of ... a drill ... aaaand ...

... what ??

[giveup]

A combi !! (sorry,couldn't resist it)

[tonyav]

Maybe a drill that also has an hammer action, jj.

[ferlew]

Drill and a counter sinker?

A combi drill is a drill that does both drilling and driving. Drilling is the act of boring holes and driving is the act of fastening or driving screws. Combi drills are large, the size and weight of their internal mechanism reflecting the nature of their heavy duty work.

Tonyav has it....

All of a sudden, they seem less exciting.

I thought they might be, say ...

A drill and an MP3 player, or

A drill and a hair dryer.

But, basically, it's a drill, and a slightly different drill?

[tamborine]

it screws & unscrews

I thought it was a drill and a trouser press.

[Peter Pedant]

ax or chainsaw, i say

[ferlew]

It's a multi-tool.
Drill/salad spinner/stocking drier/yarn/twister/paint stirrer.

I'm not sure if I really want to admit this but I own a vacuum cleaner that has a massage attachment, surely that has to be the Mother of all weird combos!

p.s. I inherited said vac, and have never used it.

[baza]

well, to quote Mandy Rice Davies, "you would say that" ^^^^

[joggerjayne]

You have a massage attachment, and you've never used it?

Why not?????

[EcclesCake]

Like I said it was inherited......I am not sharing massage attachments with family members......

[jno]

a drill and a hairdryer, you'd have to double check the attachments first before switching on

It's like a combi oven, just don't use it for the same purpose :-)
