What battery tools

[marky]

Looking to invest in a battery drill and west saw what would you recomend.Was looking at the 12v makita cordless wet cutter or what about a cordless angle grinder..tar very much

I would recommend the makita cordless li ion impact driver, best piece of kit i have bought this year great for boarding out floors. cordless grinders dont have a fantastic battery life so iif you do decide to buy one get extra batteries and keep them well charged

Can you buy a battery powered wet saw and grinder? Never heard of them, surely for cutting power you need mains electric?

i agree wi gary makita for me

makita have been doing a cordless mini grinder with a water bottle attached to the side for over 20years ,started off as a 7.2 volt jobby now they make a decent cordless li ion grinder which works well with a 1mm thick diamond blade .dewalt make a very good cordless grinder which has more torque than the makita, cut feels more powerful when you use it ,i have seen ryobi and panasonic cordless grinders over the years but i think the dewalt and the makita are the 2 best cordless grinders I have come across

Must have a brain lapse there Gary, I have seen the Makita cutter, for some reason (stella) I had a picture of a battery powered table saw.

got makita and hitachi impact drivers

i would have recommended a major diy outlet selling a dewalt for £50 but there cheek has put them down in my estimations

A few have got the makita wet cutters but not much use for lots of cuts im told. Dewalt are supposed ot be launching a hand held cutter this year but i think this mill be mains, Im also told this will be far better than the Makita.

I have 18v Dewalt drills, impact driver, trim saw, jig saw, reciprocating saw and sds drill. I am in the process of upgrading the bateries to Lithium Ion and would advise that whatever you buy go for these batteries. I also have a pair of the makita 14.4v (i think) impact drivers, they as well as the dewalt are supreme for plying floors

You can always change the batteries yourself, I gave an old dewalt battery to my mate that was knackered, he put new cells in it that he got from somewhere and it lasts for ages, cost me about £15
