What's tools are in your sights or on your wish list ?

[Bathfix Bob]

I cant stop buying drills, I must have 25 drills ranging from 10.8v cordless up to 1500w diamond core.

Just last month I bought a Bosch collated screwgun and last week two more Makita drils, one brushless.

I'm never happier than when I wait for delivery of a new toy.

Do you know Bob, my wife says the exact same thing!

I'm the same I'm in hospital now waiting for the missus to have the baby and I'm tracking my hilti impact wrench on the hermes parcel tracking lol

should get it re-routed to the hospital. You can then play with it in the waiting room until the big moment. You could unbolt seats and take wheels off hospital beds. It'll be great.

Don't get too wrapped up that you miss the birth though.

I got a spiked roller this week to see what the fuss is all about, and impulse purchase in CTD a 600mm sigma, now I have 3 and I can demote my monti to a spare.

I know mate I have the hilti app on my phone to price check

 

[Kyle Knowles]

I'm just keeping my eye out for a grinder now and maybe a collated screw gun and one day when I'm a big boy I want the hilti concrete grinder but that's big bucks

 

[LM]

Get one of these, super grinder if I say so myself

Hilti for me first choice, but a very close second would be the Metabo cordless grinder the new slimline version, they make excellent grinders. A lot better than the Dewalt (yuk) or Makita grinders, which can't stick the pace. The other thing to consider are the warranties. Metabo 3 years on tool and battery. Hilti 2 years , but a lifetime fixed repair cost. A Hilti is twice the price but lasts much longer than twice the time and easily outperforms its competitors. I suppose if your a soft user then you don't need a Hilti, however if you ask a lot from your tool then it's a no brainer.

 

[Kyle Knowles]

As I've just bought the circular saw with 2 5.2 ah batteries I'm probably gonna buy the bare unit grinder and box and share the batteries and charger

 

[Kyle Knowles]

They are the dog of hand held floor grinders there a mint condition one on ebay for 800 smackeroos bit to much for me to spend right now and to be fair I don't need one either but want and need are different things haha

I'm gonna bite the bullet and get a sigma. My tx700 is a bit old so going to replace that.

What 700mm model would you suggest Lee? Can you change handles to push score on all of them?

Go for a 3C3M its a push handle model with maximum breaking strength and you can also get a pull handle, part no: 24AE, that you can quickly and easily change to if your are doing lots of quick cuts on a normal tile.

I did on mine, push towards the measuring bar and don't disregard the klik klok it has good breaking power.

Harry I bet after you've used it you'll kick yourself for not switching years ago. Rubi's are great 400mm or so and below but simply don't compare and I'll bet anyone who disagrees hasn't actually tried a sigma

 

[Flintstone]

I need a new cutter as my rubi 600 has done some time, still works well but the box is falling to bits and it's £80 for a new box, tempted for sigma but, the not seeing the blade is an issue And so is th weird scoring way and springs

You can easily see it with the pull handles and you can also see it with the klick klock and max handles, you just have to move your head a bit lol
Take the leap of faith, you won't look back
