Can no one deliver these things in plain wrappers?

This arrived via DPD yesterday - brown and indiscrete. They need to us plain tape though ....
Wife asked - What have you bought NOW??
Ehhh.... That was due to arrive on Monday when you were at work.............. darling! As you can imagine, adding "darling" made all the difference.
Damn Powertoolmate and their fast delivery service.
New batteries for my sexy toys - I really must get a life.

I just bought a 5.5ah high output battery and was thinking of getting another one but wondered what ‘forge’. means on your 6ah battery

I have no idea what FORGE means - just a marketing name. Strong???
2-3 of my old 5ah batteries are failing now - don't hold their charge for long. I have a couple of 8ah batteries but they are bulky - and I refuse to go for the 12ah on that basis.
6ah FORGE is supposed to hold a higher charge (comparable to the 12ah?) in a smaller package. Be wary - they are not cheap and might come down in price yet? Some of the bigger tools now work better with the higher charge batteries.
I also wanted the super charger which will give a quicker recharge on-site - hopefully.

Forge batteries aren't regular cells but sort of pillow style cells. Take a look at torquetestchannel on the youtubes for a proper explanation.
I was just at the local toolguy, €185 a pop for those. Oh boy.
I am contemplating buying one though as you get a lot more power out of the tools.

Marketing. Fancy stands at trade shows to whip punters into a frenzy and some headline grabbing performance figures.
I don’t think there is much between them quality wise but the sheer range of tools both 12 and 18v means, as a metal worker I wouldn’t pick anything other than Milwaukee.

Can anyone recommend who‘d be best to go to for a complete bundle. I’ve had makita for years but seems to have gone to junk in the last couple. Looking to change the whole lot, but can’t work out on the websites what the best models are and the best way to buy it as a package. Thanks in advance.

Powertoolmate will quote for a bundle with discount. There's always somebody on their Facebook group who have had their van robbed and needing a big order. Nathan Cox is the man to ask for
Can anyone point me in the direction of which ugga dugga gun I need for general farm stuff? I don't really know what I'm looking at or what I want but I borrowed one and now I've decided i need one as well.
Could do with a drill to share batteries with too I've seen them do combo deal things but the numbers are a bit confusing for a simpleton like myself.

Is my milwaukee battery knackered?
Only 1 light on the charge indicater row of battery and won't power anything but when clipped onto charger the charger light goes green immediately.

Are you going to get the stapler? Neighbour has one and it’s pretty good I think.

I’ve got 2 stockade so will stick with them for the moment, it felt very unbalanced when I tried it.
I struggled to find a dealer to go through a package with me and work out the best way to buy different sets and what models I need, so got hold of a rep and he came out last week, he’s going to get some quotes for me. Tried a couple and they just told me to go on the website and work it out for myself.
