I admit, I have a workshop tool addiction :-)

[holwellcourtfarm]

it wasnt dear at that price ill admit, iirc a rep here the other day said his version was 900 iirc.
id work a lot on bolts given my trade, i dont think at any point id ever need one, maybe an exhaust manifold or pipe bolt/nut but after that i cant see a use for one.
its the kind of tool id buy a dirt cheap one first and if i wore it out or broke it id buy a quality one seeing since i was using it so much, but there aint cheap induction heaters so ill happily go without until someone breaks the trial barrier.

it ill get cheap yet...

S-P said they'd stand by the show price until the end of the month.

The Stanners unit is in a different class. It's proper industrial kit with water cooling to allow continuous use if need be. Also, their rep said he could lend me one for a week's trial if I wanted

I don't think there was any real need to be posting temptation like that was there?
Naughty man!

It's not so bad. I wouldn't have to go through Yorkshire to get there and I could drop wife and kids off at the beach as a sweetener

Facom have a 1/2 "battery rattle gun out now,claimed to be even more powerful than Milwauke one. Anyone got one?

 

[dannewhouse]

does anyone rate the hitachi battery tools? we have the 18v 5ah kit with a drill and 1/4 impact driver and fancying adding 4 1/2 grinder and probably 1/2 impact gun for now. very impressed with it so far, every now and again it snapps the 1/4 drive adaptor with sockets on.

they may not be the best but do they give any grief?

 

[Dave W]

I love hitachi. Very underrated in my opinion.
I got a 18v combo drill and it is awesome. Had it 18 months and not had the 240v drill out since.
Bought a 1/2" impact gun so I could use the same batteries and that is equally as good.
Not used any other makes to be fair

Yes I have finally standardised on Hitachi. The 6 Ah batteries are good. If you get a grinder I strongly recommend the brushless one. My previous one with brushes didn't last long. I am going to order the cordless impact wrench next week so it can share batteries with the drill and the grinder.

They're good on old workshop floors where muck gets compressed down and stuck to the floor

The throttle needs looking at ,,it fires up on full revs even if the lever is set at min revs ,,Ill take it into my lawn mower guys who deal with honda engines ,probably the carb needs a good service or something is sticking inside it
