Capricorn Posted July 25, 2016 Share This member has joined my team today after a wee chat with Myles. In this fight cycling came second. Sorry. Apple Tool & Gas currently have special on them and I couldn't resist. http://www.bosch-naradie.sk/images/bosch-gcm12gdl-gta2500w-akcia-0615990FZ6-1v.jpgvery nice! If you don't mind me asking, how many ronds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted July 25, 2016 Share Metabo is still good though. It is a pity that their presence in our market has shrunk so much. These days in the SA professional market it is Bosch, Makita and then Festool in order of how strong your bank balance is.

dev null Posted July 25, 2016 Share very nice! If you don't mind me asking, how many ronds? R10 600 for the saw and the stand in one package. Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 25, 2016 Share R10 600 for the saw and the stand in one package.That's FLIPPIN good. Where from, if I may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 25, 2016 Share Oh - anyone got any input on the new li-ion Ryobi hand tools? Particularly jigsaw, impact driver and mini circular. Seems pretty good from what limited investigation I've done, and reasonably priced to boot. I've got the Bosch GSB1080 cordless drill/driver, but find myself wanting something with a bit more oomph for those stubborn screws & bolts.

Myles, rather save and buy DeWalt then...Ryobi is s h i t, regardless of what colour they package it in. I saved and got the DeWalt 18v Li-Ion with a spare battery last year for R1800. It's worth every sent... HUGE EDIT: Ergonomicaly Ryobi is s h i t too Edited July 25, 2016 by Ed-Zulu Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Boy Posted July 25, 2016 Share DROOOOOOOL!!! EDIT: Bugger you! You got the new articulating arm one! YOU BASTARD! I need to make a trolley for mine, the lowly Metabo KGS254M Thought you had a 216M like me? Did you upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 25, 2016 Share Thought you had a 216M like me? Did you upgrade?Hmmm... No, didn't upgrade. And you're right. 8 1/2" saw... My mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, thought as much. Will see what I can get when I'm able to get them (ie when I have the cash) Top of the list is a Makita, but DeWalt or Bosch will do just as well.

I had a Ryobi Li-Ion 18v drill driver...it wouldn't stand on its battery when put down a bit hard, the handle was not nice and the entire tool completely out of balance. The 1st battery lasted a month and at that point I returend it to Builders for credit, which I used to buy the DeWalt. One bit of Ryobi that did last and which I rate as a quite good diy'ers router is the 1000W router which they copied off an old Elu router from the early 90's, every so often I still see one for sale at Makro.

dev null Posted July 25, 2016 Share Just a correction. In my excitement I posted the pic with the wrong base. My package came with this base. So, not as cool as the trolley base. http://www.toolstop.co.uk/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/301e1663aa7d8af33457e0e07007fb63.jpg Edited July 25, 2016 by Moridin Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going for R 14,800 on tools4wood which generally has good pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
