Right ... so the trusty pair of Makitas have finally let out the last of their electrical smoke today and they are on their last legs. I’m looking to replace them both with a single unit that has to : 13mm chuck hammer function lots of torque 30 min charge ideally this would be a Makita but I’ve also looked at Fein - over 15 years the only tools that have never let me down have been my Makita stuff and the trusty multimaster so I’m not really interested in swapping to Dewalt or Bosch. I’ve also considered Milwaukee but don’t have any experience of them other than the sparky swears by them. Anyone got any recommendations ...??

I think it was @Thorfun who was looking for this, which came with my hedge cutter. You will need to click through.

Just spent the last two days install the pipe work and some of the plenums for the mvhr system. Definitely not a job to tackle on your own! Feeding the pipe, or 50m red python, through posijoists and holes in floors is a fiddle to say the least, towards the end finding a route for the 19th pipe was a challenge... What amazed me most was the toll on our drills! Lots of 79mm holes to be drilled through floors and joists, but did not expect three, yes three, makita 18v drills to start smoking and subsequently fail, all were of a 2014 vintage. Clearly not a good year... Generally I have found their 18v range of tools excellent, but surprised at this failure rate. Did not feel we were abusing them, very gingerly using the fourth at the end, as need to complete the task and get the insulation in before plasterboarding commences.. Heyho, on the grand scale not horrendous.
