porqui Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Maktec is good as long as you are the only one using it. Tool prices are just way over the top - and they charge because we pay. Sometimes I think Ryobi is best because if it breaks you just throw it away and buy another. Buy three or four Ryobies for the price of any other.

Besides the economy of scale, going to mean less battery changes, which inevitably need doing at the most inconvenient times. I think they also have 6Ah on the market overseas now.

Yes, will get those later. For a impact driver I want to keep the tool as light as possible. For other tools and the drill the 5Ah works better.

mon-goose Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 not the best picture but finished a desk for the study. Going to secure it to the wall on the left side and going to put a piece of Perspex on top to give a smooth surface to work on

mon-goose Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 don't mind that. Toughened glass will just be too expensive at the moment and Perspex will be safer with the little kids around
