Power Tool Perverts

[dann2707]

I was telling a mate how stupid bright it was, he said he also has one... The bulb in his kitchen went and he had it as the kitchen light for about a month because he was too f**king lazy to change the bulb, its now his bathroom light and he fixes his car in the dark - knobber.

He does like his wookiee light, kids are all blind now though.

That's proper tickled me . I can see his logic, I'd be doing the same but taking the batteries to work so I can charge them there

Not that I'm a scroungy b*****d or anything

Spoiler

I heard that instead of giving laser eye surgery you just look at a Milwaukeheehee light for 0.001632 seconds and your vision is fixed

Any longer and you're blind for life

powertoolmate have 10% off everything on the website

BIG10 is the code

This is just getting ridiculous now, ordered myself the little hatchet pruner, and that knife everyone buys.

 

[dann2707]

M12 multi tool ordered.

Been ankering after one for ages and have deliberated over that and the M18 version for more than I care to admit . Figured the lighter and slimmer m12 would be nicer for small and tight areas

I keep tpying with the idea of getting the 1" gun but still not sure if the good one has made it over from the usa yet

Just started looking a electric ratchets.. at my old age im finding the manual ones altogether too much effort and the electric ones seem to also align nicely with my overall laziness and its been a while since I wasted money on tools. Been looking at the Milwaukee ones as im a weekend mechanic and enjoy tinkering so not in the market for top end ones. Looking at a 1/4 drive first as that seems to be the size I use the most and I have a downsizer for 3/8 drive anyway.

I bought the milwaukee 3/8 one and its a game changer!!

Ive seen my mates a the garage using electric ones and they look really good.. I get the sense that they are quicker and allow you to get into smaller spaces, so looking forward to that!

I have the 3/8 milwaukee m12 fuel ratchet. The extended reach of the 3/8 is f**king epic for undoing a bolt thats balls deep in the engine bay if you can get it in. Its a good bit of kit, but you need to be careful not to overtighten small fixings with it.

On the larger stuff, m8 and up its grand though. Its ideal for stripping stuff down, but cant beat the feel of using a normal ratchet or torque wrench for tightening fasteners up, as you can feel when its right saving the thread or a snapped bolt.

One complaint i have with it, i had the ratchet slip when cracking a semi tight bolt off manually which is supposed to be ok to do. Monitoring it as it will be going back for repair if it does it again.

Yeah going full whack on an M6 bolt once and it sheared the c**t straight off

They've just announced the smaller headed versions over in America but it'll be a while before we get them. @dann2707 was ahead of the times with his modification.

Can confirm my vision is now perfect..

 

[Brigsy]

I find it hard to use partial trigger to nip stuff up. Its either loose or tight as f**k. No inbetween

Which one did you go for?.... Currently looking at them, with PTM doing 10% it's swung me

Sweet! - That's the one in my basket... Agreed on the Fuel comment too

Fuel?

 

[JamesBryan]

Fuel?

The Fuel name is the high power stuff.

Started using it quite a few years ago now.

Non Fuel tools should be pretty much obsolete now.

 

[dann2707]

Fuel?

Fuel is the top level of milwaukee tools.

It goes
Non fuel
Brushless
Fuel

They are just overall better quality and got "tradesmen"

Non brushless are terrible as they use loads more power and have significantly less power too. They are wear out as they have brushes in the motors.

Went for the m18 high torque impact last week when it was in offer on powertoolmate and went with the quality us pro sockets

 

[Touring_Rob]

[thecrim22]

Bit the bullet and ordered a couple of 12ah batteries

 

[dann2707]

I had to take advantage of ptm 10% off again and ordered the m18 router.

I'm going to be making a kitchen table at the new gaff so I'll be making a planer sled for it. Well excited tbh!

 

[dann2707]

I've followed it up with an M18 orbital sander chaser I have a problem, I'm happy to admit it.

I'm not happy to suggest I'll do absolutely anything about it.

 

[Iranian Pudding]

It's okay Dan, you've not bought the jigsaw, chopsaw or planer yet mate x

 

[leeds2592]

He's gonna buy them soon so he can make some blocks to put in his shoes so he can finally be 5ft, bless

 

[dann2707]

You're all just being rude and mean now please stop

*walks off on my 5" cloggs*

 

[JamesBryan]

Took advantage of the 10% offer and jumped on the Milwaukee die grinder bandwagon

 

[jp_lcr]

[dann2707]

Is that Sander non fuel?!

 

[dann2707]

They don't do a fuel version I tried and tried and tried

 

[dann2707]

First time I've ever used a router. This is f**king MINT

 

[SharpyClio]

So, I understand the fuel versions are the best… but I don’t do loads of spannering is the extra money worth it? Im ready for the hate

What is it you're after mate? Can advise based on that bud

Ratchets mainly

Okay, if it was me personally I'd get the 3/8 ratchet purely because the majority of my sockets are in that size.

This is one of the cheapest prices for it.

If you need batteries too, the 2ah batteries are fine but just make sure you get the quick charger. If you look around there might be a package deal for them.
