I pinched a bottle of Jizer from work about 5 years ago now and it’s still going strong.

Look at this outrageous stunt….

I’m scrolling along looking for a new orbital sander, of course I’m looking for the Milwaukee one @dann2707

And I very nearly click on this to add to basket due to just going on the colour…..

When did these chumps start making stuff in red?

Never fear, normal service resumed, but stay safe out there kids!

I think the bright red Makita stuff was originally Maktec which was a Makita spin out for cheaper stuff made in China, then a while back they dropped it and went back to it being Makita. So its likely shite.

I've got the red Makita belt sander and for the money it's pretty decent, they're basically the same as the blue tools but with less powerful motors, also come in green too.

Growing up all I saw was Makita, my dad and grandad always went straight for their stuff

My dad's still got his very first grinder from back when he was a teenager, it was made in the 70s or 80s. Back when they made tools to last

2004 then?

But yes their old stuff was amazing, my dad has an 80's angle grinder and its seen some serious action over the years, still quieter than all the new s**t. Have some 80's Wolf tools somewhere which seem brilliant compared to lots of stuff today.

Got this as I don't think the tiny mains powered scarifier I've got is going to work for the new lawn. My son loves it, helped put it together and fill it up with oil. My wife wasn't too impressed with us using the kitchen as a garage though 😂
