HBB and collated screws

[On one]

Wrighty that probably adds up to just as much time as on a standard cordless lol. plus I see you mentioned chipboard, Im talking Hardi boards.

Martyn that looks a bargain, last review on sfix says it could do with a second battery? I think the makita one is the choice.

HBB screwed into chipboard as opposed to floorboards.

okay so which one do I choose and where do I buy for much cheapness. Id like one with a battery!

I have my 5 piece Makita kit, if you already have Makita go for that.
I think I've had my kit about 5yrs now, roughly, & my impact drivers never missed a beat.

sorry stef i meant which model impact in the makita range as theres a few !

I'd recommend the 2 battery one at £90. Bargain compared to some of the others. I was looking around comparing makitas/dewault etc, then I had a go on this when a sparky was using one & I was sold. Its small as well. I like small tools me!

What model is that martyn as at that price they all seem to be just the body - no battery or charger

The new brushless ones are meant to be crackers.
I'm not sure what model mines is, I will need to check but my tools are lying on a private job in Ayr.
Will check tomorrow for you..

My auto feed makita driver is a few years old now, and unless they have changed the collated screws......struggled to counter sink every screw. Ok, mine was a 12v version.

I changed to a makita impact driver......and (I don't know how) I ended up with 3. :mad2:
I would say, as has been mentioned, get a bloody good driver bit holder, preferably magnetic......or Your'll stab ya finger tips to death.

Autofed is another tool sitting in my garage. Bloody brilliant for plasterboard screws.
