April 7, 20224 yr What tipped the switch to Makita for me was when a joiner gave me a dud Makita 18V multitool that turned out to be a simple new motor for £20

And two more batteries to boot. Not sure about the charger as I have two already…..

If I were still building, I'd definitely be grabbing this deal, despite already have two batteries, an impulse driver and a heavy drill. A lighter drill like this would be ideal for lighter-weight repetitive jobs, plus as you say, having two drills is useful anyway Also, 5 Ah batteries are great if you ever plan on buying battery-powered garden tools, or use heavier power tools such as a circular saw (mine chews through battery life like no-one's business).

April 7, 20224 yr 4 hours ago, jack said: 5 Ah batteries are great Second that for the heavy duty tools. I 'treated' myself to a Makita DCE090ZX1 2 x 18v 230mm Brushless Disc Cutter mainly because I was choking on the dust thrown off by cutting concrete patio slabs with a 240V disc cutter. The Makita being low voltage has a water jet like the big boy's petrol cutters. Trouble is, it does about 10 slabs to the charge! Still, 12 x 18V 5AH batteries = roughly 1kWh for ~ £840 is interesting to compare with current solar battery storage at +£1K/kWh. Not worth the hassle though.

April 12, 20224 yr For anyone looking some IP65 LED battens, these are a super buy. Good brand, light's a nice colour and the added microwave sensor is worth the price they're charging on it's own. I bought 5 and there's plenty more... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384763287555

April 13, 20224 yr My local Poundland has these fitness trackers for a tenner. The previous one I bought cost about 20 quid, and has been very good.
