Power Tool Perverts

power tool mate has 10% off code

I'm tempted by the plunge saw and guide rails, they don't do a naked kit but you can build it for £680, so just over £600...

 

[Matt e]

torque test channel on youtube rates the seesii brand as well

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah watched that mate, tempted to grab that saves buying the bits on top

Wouldn't bother with their rails. I just got the evolution rails instead for £70 and it works spot on.

An unbelievably decent saw. My colleagues were blown away with it when I showed them it recently

Didn't realise you can mix rails and saws.

I've used my uncle's festool before and was super impressed by it, wouldn't use it loads but it would come in handy now and again. I have a few doors to fit too.

Yeah man, was a nice surprise when I saw the price of the Evo ones!

One thing to note is the UK doesn't get the anti tilt feature, never once has it bothered me though. It's up there with one of my favourite tools. It's hard to explain but it just feels properly well built and a step up from their already high quality stuff.

Thought I'd treat myself to the new milwaukee plunge saw to force me into making more stuff as I love it.

Comes in the xl packout box which is ridiculous but feels right at home in it and too much packout is never enough

First impressions are wow, quality is absolutely mint. Lots of really functional parts that feel absolutely solid.

Got some evolution rails because they were £78 compared to the £240 milwaukee charge

These ones I presume - https://powertoolworld.co.uk/evolut...sqrPNuDGdKkUoq_sxu0Kdh0qXL3CV8q8aAkQKEALw_wcB

Anti tilt is just that I presume, stops the unit lifting off the rail during a cut? So just apply a bit of pressure squarely during the cut and should be fine.

That's them and you are correct. I've never actually felt it trying to lift off so I think it's a bit of a no feature anyway!

Sorry mate, I'm being an absolute pain today haha. What blades would you recommend/are you using?

I am just using the one that came with it, seems spot on and high quality mate!

Ah awesome, I assumed it didn't come with one!

Freud blades from Screwfix are meant to be good if you ever need a replacement.

Speaking of seesii tools, I got this, my normal 3/8” is always in the camper van and it does my head in having to use a 1/2” with a step down so I got some Amazon vouchers and it was on offer, think I paid £50 for it. Feels pretty nice, quality wise, has variable speed depending on how hard you press the the go button and two batteries. I’ve got an aux belt kit to fit to the camper and a whole host of parts for the Clio on the way so I’ll get plenty of opportunity to test it out!

 

[imprezaworks]

Still been doing research on something I won’t use a lot lol.

The Dewalt 891 battery and charger is like £250.
The seesii is £150.

 

[SharpyClio]

Seesii is on offer on Amazon, think it’s like £130 at the moment

 

[imprezaworks]

£199 with £50 voucher and I have £30 credit for something I bought, was ment to get the cash for and didn’t.

and what does a knuckle bar and using your arms cost you??

If you're only doing stuff like wheel nuts, do you really need an impact gun for that?

Halfords torque wrench pretty safe bet? Can get the 200 for decent money with trade card and 10% on top but ends tonight iirc

 

[Matt e]

yeah made by norbar which are a decent brand

 

[imprezaworks]

Tidy. Was going to go with the 300 being a few quid more, will never need that much though.

 

[Brigsy]

Cant go wrong with the halfords torque wrenches. I have a 3/8 and 1/2.

 

[imprezaworks]

Go with the 300?

 

[Brigsy]

I have the 300, 60-300nm covers most larger jobs. I use the 3/8 drive 60 for jobs that are 60nm or below.

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah I've got the 300 which comes in handy for front hub nuts at 280Nm

 

[Jamie86]

Bit late to the party but deffo get a 300 as above covers hub nuts as well then.

Used a Halfords one for years and always calibrated fine.

 

[imprezaworks]

got the 300 for £91👍
