No one wants Ryobi, I’m not buying them for my nephews to play with…. I think I ‘want’ Milwaukee but not sure if there’s any real substance to it!

Just wondered if there were any horror stories I guess. Only got the 12v impact wrench at the minute but that’s standalone as I need 18v for the tools I’m after so I’ve not committed yet!

So I need to start buying some gear for DIY projects at home, and I’m a bit torn. I know most on here have been touched by Milwaukee but for the kit I want to buy initially, like for like (ish) Makita gear is £150 cheaper. Ive had quite a lot of Makita in the past and always liked it so it...

That Aston t**t didn’t even stump up for a proper BO55 plate, ultimate melt.

I bought 2 of these for £17 each. Properly loud so happy days. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B087NB71CR/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Yeah 6a would probably be too bulky.

I bought one years ago when they first came out, pretty much the best £100 I’ve ever spent as I worked outside. Might even buy another just out of respect for it being such a good idea.

Thats annoying they won’t discount if you’re spending a lot. I’ve done a few of the kit builder things, prefer to pick exactly what I want as they all have 1 or 2 bullshit things in and as you say lower spec stuff. I‘ll keep my eyes peeled for what I fancy. For now I’m just happy the child’s...

Sds, combi, impact driver, probably a planer too and a splash of 5 amp batteries to start with. Got some DIY to get cracking on in the new house. Mate at work is trying to persuade me to go Makita instead of Milwankee

And is Nathan doing some deals? There’s loads of stuff I want to buy.

Oh hey guyz, can I join your klub?

Cheaper the better, not bothered on what they look like.

I’m after a few Bluetooth speakers for around the house and garage, anyone recommend something good and loud? Can be mains powered.

25+ times a year, but eventually I’ll slip and take a chunk out my expensive wheel with it.

I blame Dan for not realising when I told him my 55mm socket was 1/2” that I clearly meant 1”. But in all seriousness am I better getting the 1/2” drive socket to use with 3/8 gun, or 1” socket on a 1/2” gun? Or just stick with my breaker bar and stop being a wimp like you lot?

Because I’m a t**t. Next question.

I thought I was old enough to do the tool thing but it appears not.

If you find me a 12 point 55mm socket in 3/8 I’ll buy you a box of quality street.

I bought proper impact rated adaptors but agreed.

Didn’t work on full charge, balls. So would a 1/2” work if I bought a body only?!

Thanks captain obvious 😂 yeah seems a bit of a fuckup

Mine turned up today but won’t undo the rear wheel 🤦‍♂️ Just putting the battery on charge and see if it will with full juice. @dann2707 please can you PayPal me a refund?

The sign for Boots? Pretty self explanatory I thought?

Ordered, thanks for the help mate 👍 Wheres the best place to get some sockets and adaptors?!

Jealousy doesn’t suit you, honey.

Im pretty excited, probably more than is appropriate.

I’m a bit drunk but that’s awesome thank you! Is that a 3/8”? Maybe you could undo my nuts sometime?

Ah that would be rubbish as very overkill for 1 nut! Or I could chuck the bike in the van and drive over to you for a real life test? Ive always avoided this thread as it’s a slippery slope with tools, this would be a steady start of stuff I barely need. Added the ratchet as I want a free cup.

Thanks mate, looks decent enough. I’m sick of swinging around a 1200mm breaker bar and risking damaging the wheel! It’s a big diameter, 55mm socket but not actually sure on the thread diameter. If you fancied doing a test that would be awesome! Pretty sure it’s 1/2” drive socket so I’d need a...
