M12 for drilling, m18 for chiselling

I've bought my first impact wrench and see what all fuss is with these red ones, got a voucher from work (as left to start new job) so cost me £80 for Milwaukee M12FIW38-202B

This is my Milwaukee M18 FIW2F38-0X there are many like it but this one is mine......

 

[dangerous dave]

The M12 gear is awesome… I have a mix of both m12 and m18 for building trades and I mostly pick up my m12 during the day, it’s lighter, less aggressive and isn’t trying to break my wrists or destroy materials.

i think people buy bigger because they’re size queens.. you only need it if you need it. 12v for most drilling, impact guns, screw guns, 18v for stop hammerconcrete drilling, recip saws, circ saws etc.

Then I have dewalt 54v for my mixer, lights and any larger saws I buy in the future.
M12 or similar is the line I’d recommend to everyone..

Which jet wash would you guys recommend these days? I hear a lot of bad reviews of the Kärcher washers.
I'd be mostly using it for washing the driveway and cleaning the car.
Budget is anything under £500

Cheers considerably cheaper than I was expecting too

 

[jenic]

Air cooled though, my old one (admittedly a Karcher) was air cooled and overheated all the time.

Upgraded to the water cooled one and it's not overheated once.

 

[-Jamie-]

Spend more and get an E145


Had mine for 5/6 years and its have zero issues. Ran it for about 5 hours a few weeks ago doing stuff round the outside of thr house and never missed a beat.

 

[Touring_Rob]

Had my Karcher K4 for 5 years now without issue, been very solid!

 

[Stuflac]

If you can see past the fact these aren't coloured red, is this a decent deal?

[Crybert]

It’s an ok set, older models though and they can be had separately with better batteries found elsewhere around the same price. It was actuallt £250 about a week ago with a code on tool station. Have a look at when I was posted to hot uk deals

How do you tell the difference between new and old models? Just the codes of the tools?

 

[jonzz]

What nail gun should I go for? General woodwork, got to insulate under the floorboards so need to batten everything.

do I need gas or can I get away with a battery one?

 

[Crybert]

I just bought a dewalt dcn692. It’s battery powered, first fix. Honestly great. So powerful and doesn’t seem to use much battery at all. Recommend it

This seems very decent. Would’ve probably gone for this if it was on this deal when I needed mine

edit: I think this is a second fix nailer so might not be suitable for you

 

[jonzz]

Yeah, think I need 1st fix, 50mm nails won’t be big enough I don’t think. Cheers though. I’ve got Milwaukee and Makita batts atm but looks like I’ll be adding a dewalt one too

 

[coolspot007007]

After a bit of research I bought a barely used Hikoki 1st fix with 2 batteries for £380 on ebay, they retail about £480. Was surprised how powerful it is being battery.

And that's what it's all about...

Oh the old Hikoki!

 

[YorkshireKyle]

In, out, in, out shake it all about

 

[Crybert]

I bought the dewalt. So much fun to use, found an old scrap of wood and fired probably 50 nails through it

I don't miss the chippies on site pressing it against the corner of a brick wall so the end was depressed and shooting a nail towards me 50ft away

 

[Hxrry]

Bought the brushless screwdriver the other week and was impressed so grabbed the matching brushless 3/8th gun. Got a free butane soldering iron too which was a nice touch!

 

[YorkshireKyle]

And only cost £4 per week for the next 36 years

Seems a better deal than the toolbox that's gonna be £4.50 a week for 65 years

What drill bit set would you guys recommend? So many mixed reviews on them. Wanting a full set that covers everything

Holy f**k

 

[dangerous dave]

The Bosch blue masonry bits are decent… not only do I use them on brick etc, when new they’re wicked for drilling into some tile..

Drill bits don’t really last, they’re a consumable and get trashed.. don’t loan them out, they just come back burnt out and wrecked.

I’ve found the cheap gold ones are often better than the hss ones.

 

[Matt e]

as dave said Bosch Multi Construction TCT, best drill bits ive used on metal and brick

 

[YorkshireKyle]

Aye I've got Bosch spades, Makita holesaws and Milwaukee metal bits
