Review for Wolfcraft 2207 Super Pump Attachment:
I saw a review of the wolfcraft which was excellent so I sent for one
It self primes beautifully and pumps well. However, even straight from the packet mine leaked from the seals, potentially wetting the drill.
I ended up having to take it apart and seal the case with silicone.
If you buy one, be careful where you first use it and check for leaks.

Works well, watch out for leaks
I bought a cheaper pump that needed priming. It was a waste of time.I saw a review of the wolfcraft which was excellent so I sent for one

Review for Bosch IXO Cordless Screwdriver 3.6V with Lithium Ion Technology:
Poor for Bosch
I bought mine a few weeks ago prior to starting a complete kitchen fit. Mine is the new one with detachable angle head. Firstly this is quite useful although fiddley as you need to remove a rubber boot to fit it then replace after. The charge life is fine but the torque is very poor on mine, the locking mechanism sounds as though it is breaking when used to hand tighten and the trigger sometimes sticks on. I also find that an extension bit holder makes access in confined areas much easier, mine should have cost £50 plus but was reduced to just over £30 overall I think it was worth the money but I will be taking mine back due to the trigger I have not decided weather to exchange it or go for a more powerful but less nifty drill driver for just a few £ more. In Summary then Very useful but direction control and lack of power are frustrating in use and I needed to resort to cordless drill to drive most screws home.107

Adequate but not brilliant.
I read a few negative reviews here after I'd bought this, and so was a bit worried. However, I've found this mower to be fairly adequate for my small lawn.Pluses:
- Lighter than wheeled rotary mowers I've used.
- Fairly good over uneven ground. The rollers at the front do help if it gets stuck in a dip.
- Still works even on a 45 degree slope.
- Streamlined shape is good for nosing underneath shrubs.
- Cuts cleanly.
Minuses:
- The grass collector is mediocre. Probably only 60% the collection rate of a conventional wheeled rotary mower. Best emptied often and used only on completely dry grass.
