:love:

just noticed, the price is in euros, they charge us the same amount but pounds, they ripping us off.

by the way, a lidl battery has the same fitting as millwalke, except they have swooped the terminals over, this can easily beswitched over and a small bit plastic to adjust
cheapest 4 amp milwak battery is £74, lidl is £17 or £11 for 2amp..
for the tecknicaly challanged it would be a good little project for a printer to do an interface and sell.

just come back from yapping with an electrican, he was proudly showing me his £3000 of fuel tools
and batteries, i wish i had worn me wellies, his tears was flooding the house

a surface grinder... Horizontal borer... Tool grinder... Smaller metric based lathe.. That would just about finish the collection off...

commas are the difference between... helping your uncle jack, off a horse.. And helping your uncle jack off a horse.

i have a 40 ft box trailer for that sort of stuff with 3 phase, and still have a bit of space left to fill

How much for the battery and charger?

I keep looking at the milwaukee M18 Fuel 4 inch grinder to go with the combi I already have and share the 5Ah batteries with it.
Just go and buy it, I guarantee you wont regret it.

I looked for ages, grudging the money, and even after it was home I still grudged it like hell, till its first day here we needed to fix the combine in field, old fella grumping about having to go a get genny and grinder, and I open up pickup and two seconds later job done. Never considered the money again.
Draining, fencing, roofing the list goes on.
Absolutely love my cordless grinder!!!!

It was an accidental bid
You won’t regret that one bit, very handy bit of kit. I’d be lost for a lot of jobs without mine. If there’s no tooling or clamps with it, get on eBay, you’ll want a er collet set something like this will get you going for little money.

And you can clamp most stuff with clamping set like this.
