That's true but they do have some the same so always worth looking online at least to see if they do.Quote:

I've got the same Makita drill as ProudKiwi and it really kicks arse :) Building my carport my drill had no problems running a 16mmX400mm drillbit through the 250mm posts and 12X2 to put the bolts in. Also got a reciprocating saw, jig saw and angle grinder. Wouldn't mind a skill saw but I have 2 corded ones so not super keen to triple up ( although did that for the recipro since it's so handy doing a bit of pruning in the orchard or as M Duck says, I've use it to split sheep and even cut chops off the legs. Just buffed the paint off the blade first or it leave red paint on the meat).
Makita all the way for me :)
When I was in the trade I ran Dewalt... bloody heavy and only nicad Batts back then. Got Makita drill through maca49 and now have, the blower,the vac, a tree saw and hedgecutter. I like it.
Most regularly used tool would be the wee vac.
What's the consensus for Stanley fatmax tools (drills / grinder/ circular saw) for basic around the house use -- good or bad
I'm after nothing expensive or heavy duty so looking at a couple of options.
My son got pissed around with this price matching claim. Can't recall what the power tool package was but they were identical items at both places. When he tried to call in the price match, the store said the SKU numbers were different. Technically correct but it was only a packaging diff. He didn't win.Quote:

I got a "Karcher" waterblaster recently, there was 1 letter different in the model number between stores staff member said it was for that reasonQuote:

I do like the new yellow SDS drill though. It’s got a light! Really handy for loft spaces etc where you can’t see sod all.
Have malwik for my pipe cutter and press fit tool. Both are good.
Trying to keep them all the same so I don’t have to buy multiple batteries and chargers.

Makita all day
I've been useing battery tools since they first came out in the 80's, I wouldn't go past makita
,been running there impact drivers for fascia installation last 20 yrs,
The bigger 18v battery's run for days,
That's driving screws in wood and rivet holes,
For cheap accessories ✨ like nut drivers etc I've found the trade depo the cheapest by far
Have you thought about Ryobi and they have a good warranty when something goes wrong use then a bit & can't complain for the price & they seem to have ever tool lolQuote:
