Power Tool Perverts

[Robbie Corbett]

These are pretty much the only snap on thing I own 😅

Really good for removing awkward clips on cars though.

Nice, I want these:

They are striking pry bars, my mate who works on trucks has a set and the ends are nicely hardened and have survived while most tools in his care die.

But just seen these while looking for the pic above, about 1/3rd the price too:

Milwaukee 48-22-9214. 4pce I-beam pry bar set. Pack includes 200mm, 300mm, 450mm and 600mm pry bars or 8, 12, 18 and 24 inches. Hammer striking crowbars for prying tough materials and pulling nails. The Milwaukee pry bars for mechanics. 045242508099.

That's something I haven't got actually, striking pry bars.

They do come in very handy!

Got a strap on set. Had them donkeys years. Bloody brilliant things.

 

[Jamie86]

I got the Teng Tools pry set last year for Xmas really good and not broken one yet despite some decent abuse.

I have the snap on set and the extra 3ft long one too. They are a must have in the trade or serious diy.

I did prefer the older handle style though but ended up warrantying the lot for the newer handle like those. Prob a bit safer for your hands

 

[thecrim22]

Yeah spend the money and get decent pry bars ive bananad a lot of cheap seally and teng ones

 

[Robbie Corbett]

Wondering if the Milwaukee will be decent?

Guess there's only one way to find out!

 

[Brigsy]

I must be in the minority but i hardly ever use a pry bar unless im destroying something. However when i was a joiner i used to just bray the round end of the ruffneck crow bar if you needed a bit of poke, at less than 1/4 of the price of any of them.

 

[Robbie Corbett]

I like them for levering bottom arms down to remove shocks springs, removing suspension components etc. I just find when they are available I use them loads.

 

[Krarl]

You wanna get a proper set of bars then. I had a wishbone under tension and the bar snapped. Chinned myself good and proper😂😂

Those sealey ones have been tested to 19 stone so you're sound

 

[Brigsy]

I usually use the 20" breaker to lever track control arms down, a bit oldskool i guess. Not sure what the expensive sets of pry bars are like, ive found that when ive used a cheaper one in the past they flex loads.

Lower control arm lever is class for this if your working off a 4 poster, i used one when helping out in a garage a while ago. Similar to this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-2m-Wis...p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

has any one tried these batteries on the M12 range. I've already got a Chinese 6.0ah battery and it on par with the Milwaukee ones I have. But never seen a 9.0ah one

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 seems like a no brainer really, and the £150 can go towards more tools that I need as all of mine were stolen a while ago…

Anyone got a sensible comparison opinion?!

All for just home use, I’m not planning on going back on the tools!

If you’ve found Makita kit that fits your budget, go for it. Solid brand and great tools.

Aren't you on the milwaukee battery family now so would make sense to stick with it no?

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!

 

[Robbie Corbett]

Makita is great but the entry level stuff leaves a lot to be desired imo, Ryobi is a solid shout if you don't want to spend lots.

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 get them. YOLO. 🤣

Get your card out then. The expensive Makita stuff is brilliant, Ryobi is better than the cheap Makita stuff....

The future's bright, the future's Red.

 

[Krarl]

If you're gonna get Makita then make sure you get LXT stuff and not the nonce tackle

What is it you're after? My grandad and @J-J both have s**t loads of Makita stuff and I've not seen them have any issues

 

[Pep]

Swapped the combi and impact from the Bluetooth gimmick as that’s a waste of time, so £640 to get things started I don’t think is bad value really...

They sell the Gen 3 impact driver and drill with 2 batteries as a kit, I have the SDS and it's mega

Tbh I'd stick with red tools if you're gonna get those bits

 

[Robbie Corbett]

Wasn't there some issue with the Milwaukee chucks?

 

[Djw John]

How's the milwankoffmen m12 multi tool?

Im after one and can go ryobi or m12 Milwaukee. The red one looks a lot less cumbersome but obviously has a bit less power and I've only got 1 battery compared to 4 ryobi ones.

eta I know you're gonna say go red but im only going red if the tool is loads better!

Edit scrap that, this one without Bluetooth ends up a bit cheaper and a case..

 

[Robbie Corbett]

£40 more to swap to this, that what you mean? It gets me a carry case but not too sure what the other benefits are really?

View attachment 1573026

I think the kit is £20 or so cheaper and comes with a case for the drills.

 

[dann2707]

The gen 3 impact driver is such a good bit of kit. I rate it very highly

I really like the M12 stuff, the M12 impact and drill is very decent, not sure how it compares to the M18 drill though.

I have quite a bit of M12 stuff and would be happy with the M12 drill, however there are several M18 only bits that I really want so will probably buy the M18 drill when my 15 year old Makita dies (I don't think its going to die).

 

[dann2707]

Think there is a cheaper gen 3 drill too. Around £85 or £95.without WiFi

Ahh maybe. I'm getting confused actually!

Think it's around 105 or 110 that I paid recently for work.

For the money they look pretty decent tbh, I thought it used to be that the non fuel stuff was brushed? Wonder how the brushless cheaper drills above compare to the fuel clobber.

Yeah this is a fuel which are always brushless! It would be good to compare

Not where i got mine from but ive got this kit and it ace

 

[Pep]

Thanks for the input, decided to bin off the SDS and 3rd battery for now as the first jobs I’ve got planned don’t need a huge amount of masonry drilling so I’ll add them on once things get a bit more exciting.
