[judge]

i have invested in the cordless 18 v li-on drill+impact driver and grinder.Im now looking for a good deal on the site radio if anyone knows of one :smilewinkgrin:

 

[ailill]

Have 6 makita hand tools, love them all. Very reliable, longlasting.

I've got a Makita 14.4 drill driver which is fine for light duty work and a 240v SDS drill/driver/chisel thats fine too. Quality tools in my view.

nope same battery, like i said,ive used it on everything,not every day,but a job or 3 a month,great piece of kit.
im not cutting 600 x600 porca/stone ect half way (although i have when forgot my table once) takes too long,but around sockets in splashbacks,its ideal,or cutting a socket in the middle its great.
but hey ho,each to there own

Used a Makita chop saw and circ saw for about 10 years. Faultless. Got Makita angle grinder and work boots after my DeWalt ones fell to bits in 3 months. Bosch everything else.

Wish I'd bought Makita drill over the Hitachi but pennies were tight at the time. Give Hitachi their due though, they replaced the drill and 3 NiCads for LiIon when it all went pear shaped after 14 months.

the cordless angle grinder i wouldn't recommend,i have it and only use for light work,i think makita cordless stuff is great,i have most of it,buy a corded one if your using it for tiling.
