The new tool thread

[Touring_Rob]

I find its massively dependant on the battery, how charged it is and what tools you are using. With the 6Ah battery and no extensions mine has surprised me in terms of what it will do, hub nuts etc. I've had a few things it can't do yet after a charge up it can. 18V ones are mega impressive though, just quite bulky.

With extension on its shite while the big ones just power through.

Ah fair enough, I'll make sure to use and fully charge the 6amp battery next time.

I've got a set of impact socket joints, so even at awkward angles I just whack the Makita on there. Rarely have to go up to medium and never needed high.

Thanks for confirming, link straight to the wife for Christmas 😂

@thecrim22 happy with the short version? Never needed the extra reach?

Not yet and I use it most days working on, vans, hgvs and heavy construction equipment

New toy

Any recommendations on a good stud finder or are they all s**t?

 

[jonzz]

Studbuddy probably the best

 

[Matt Cup]

Studbuddy

Cheers! That’ll do for the stud walls I need to drill into.

How about ones that also detect wires/pipes too?

 

[R3k1355]

If you get a cheap one, it'll always tell you to drill in the exact place to cause most damage to whatever is behind there.

 

[Matt Cup]

Made my own stud buddy. Finds the screws easily 👌

 

[Oggy997]

That's very pikey. I like it

Today I had to get the 'new box thingy' secured in the van, the old one was a full floor pan sized lump so didn't move in transit.
The new one a three piece L shaped mother fucker.

Historically it took her an age with the old dewalt to put anything screwed into the van, often resorting to using the impact wrench for more torques....
40 minutes with the m18 biatches, so it's not even 10am and i'm done.

Suppose its an excuse to get more m12 batteries 🤣

 

[Brigsy]

M12 Bodywarmer will be spot on. Ive had the m12 zip up hoodie a few years now good bit of kit in winter for staying warm. Only downside is the battery pocket is on the side/rear for some reason digs in if getting in the car with it on.

Technically a Stair setter, but it can be used for shelfs, skirting etc...

Get the perfect length and angle at each end

I have the jacket, the same issue with the battery on the side, I bought a converter though so can use a flat powerbank from amazon which is better. The jacket is thick though so barely ever need the battery in tbf

You don't need women if you have a milwaukee drilldo.

That’s a good thing, as they’d find you both repulsive and pathetically self indulgent self pleasuring on the hammer setting

Just because fiat make ferrari doesnt mean they're the same

Just picked up a pair of the milwaukee hardline knives (3" and 2.5")

D2 steel which is apparently good? I don't know I just wanted a handy letter opener!

I'd like to congratulate you for having a massive (milwaukee branded) c0ck.

Didn't even know they existed, I'm gonna go look for some myself.

Anybody after some toolboxes?

We have 2x Mac ones at work, both being bottom cabinets. One is brand new, never used (black tech) and the other (red select) has been used just to store stuff in. Both come with 2x keys per box, but the select doesn't have caster wheels. The black tech has a built in extension socket on the face too.

Can get pics in a bit.

I mean it's smaller than the 2.5" knife after just measuring it but thanks none the less
