There’s going to be some sore arseholes in this thread soon….

Any recommendations on a drill/driver combo? Together with a good place to buy.

Something M18 would probably be best? Seem to be a lot of models.

[Flob]

Thank you chaps

I'm a poor

Should probably of checked in here before I bought it 😂

Although I've probably used both a few times each in 12 months so I'll be OK

 

[Flat Eric]

Mine isn't fuel and its been sound.
Granted the drill shat itself and got replaced by milwaukee with a brushless model. The impact driver has had loads of abuse though and still sound

If i was in the market again though I would 100% buy a fuel one though, hope that input helps with your purchase

[-Jamie-]

Yeah I'd probably buy fuel if any of it breaks now but for all I use it for it does the job

 

[Flob]

Its for my birthday, gift from family so I have naturally sent the Fuel option 🙏

"Alexa, set two wishlists on Amazon... One for me, and one for people who offer to buy me things" 🫡

 

[Flob]

Tbh I would probably buy the fuel one anyway, I would just moan like f**k and take it to bed with me for a few weeks to keep it safe.

 

[Klumpy Dumpy]

Dont forget to add an SDS to the list as well...

 

[Flob]

I don't need an SDS at the moment, that can wait for next birthday.

I have a full on corded one which I reckon would be hard to beat. Not red though

 

[Mr Squashie]

I don't need an SDS at the moment

The words of a man who's about to need an SDS 👀 (trust me, I was once like you)

 

[mumpy]

Just arrived today, great inflator! I also got a locking adapter from ebay

 

[Flob]

I got the M12 one and regretted not buying the M18 every day since.

 

[mumpy]

I got the M12 one and regretted not buying the M18 every day since.

I got the M18 because I have M18 batteries/charger etc. I did not know there was an M12 version of it (I searched for M18 when I was looking for one)

The M12 one is class though

[Brigsy]

M12 inflater is sound with 5 or 6ah batt. 2ah doesnt last long but gets it done.

Defo want one of them cordless chisels. Need to get myself setup for m18.

 

[Flat Eric]

6ah in my inflator. Thats probably why I think its mint!

 

[Brigsy]

6ah in my inflator. Thats probably why I think its mint!

I use 6ah and it lasts ages. 5Ah supposed to have more power than the 6 but doesnt last as long, need to get one to test.

 

[Flob]

Re Fuel combo, I've worked out what will happen. Emily will send the link to my dad, my dad will look around for a better deal not noticing or thinking that Fuel means anything... I will end up with brushed DeWalts that have been on a shelf for 5 years.

I will say thank you very much and then cry when in private.

 

[Klumpy Dumpy]

M12 inflator with a 5ah high output battery is the way to go. The 6ah is alright but I notice a massive difference

 

[Flob]

The M18 pump is soooo much nicer though.

 

[Flat Eric]

You'd think it would be better with a 6ah. I wonder what causes the change in performance? Or am I being THICK?

 

[mumpy]

I assume 6ah is not high output, so doesn't hold voltage as well under load

 

[hopgop1]

I've got the M18 inflator, glad I shelled out extra, already had M18 batteries too which helped. What scared me off the M12 was I'm sure I read that you're only supposed to run it for 10 minutes or something and let it cool it off.

I think I read that in the manual for the M18 as well, only takes a few seconds though for topping up so I can't imagine running it for 10 minutes.

Defo need to try a 5ah. See if it gives my m12 fuel impact a bit more poke.

Thats what i read. Lasts longer less output

 

[Flob]

Different cells have different discharge rates. The class it as capacity* so really s**t cells might have a capacity of 2000mAh but a peak discharge rate of 5C (10A).

While high output cells might have a capacity of 1600mAh but a discharge rate of of 15C (24A)

The High output batteries will probably just be using better quality cells which are likely only available in slightly lower capacity hence 5Ah not 6.

You will also see output tail off as the battery heats up, regardless of battery type.

They're looking to come in at about £600 going off US prices 😬

You'd think it would be better with a 6ah. I wonder what causes the change in performance? Or am I being THICK?

It's because that's why.

 

[Flob]

I don't think they'll sell many at that price

 

[Mr Trailer Man]

I don't think they'll sell many at that price

Hopefully I'm wrong, but it's set to be $600 and usually that's what the tools end up being in £

I think ~£400 would be more reasonable, seeing as a decent air hammer and compressor would set you back at least that.
