About to buy this https://www.powertoolmate.co.uk/pow...ti-tool-body-only-h8mak-8-piece-blade-set.htm

Good shout or is there a better deal out there?
Also how hard are they on batteries, ive only got a 2.0 M12, got big ryobi batteries but the ryobi tool is massive

 

[Speedo Gonzales]

Get the fuel version @Djw John

The non fuel ones are a bit w**k, I've cut through a hardwood sleeper with my multitool just to prove a point to a lad I work with😂😂

I'd say you'd probably want a 4.0 or a 6.0 tbh

 

[Djw John]

So this one then?

Milwaukee M12FMT-0X Fuel Brushless Multi-Tool Bare Unit in Case & H4MAK 4 Piece

www.powertoolmate.co.uk

 

[Speedo Gonzales]

That's the one. 10x better of a tool

If you need proof of how good it is in comparison

 

[dann2707]

Always go for the fuel version, brushless motors are always better in every way mate. More power, better life on batteries, less parts to wear out.

 

[Djw John]

Grand, bought the one with 8 blades for £156

 

[dann2707]

3d printed some battery holders and continued my storage/charging station.

Dead happy with it so far!

Currently 3d printing the M18 battery holders now.

Well they're not quite are they lol.

This has cost me 50p ish in material

 

[Speedo Gonzales]

And £90 in power since it's gone up😭😂

Not if you steal next door neighbours

True

Current jack had seen better days. In all fairness I've had it 9 years, the amount of pumps I've given it must be in the thousands over the years. A strong contender to me and @Yorkshire Pudding 's gran.

New Jack enters the building. Feels solid so far. (f**king should be for 30kg) tbh it doesn't actually feel very heavy at all when moving it around. Hoping this lasts me another 9 years. Loving the colour scheme too.

 

[R3k1355]

Done well to get 9 years out of a SGS jack, most people get about 9 days before it needs a seal kit.

Yeah I got this before they went to s**t luckily

 

[Brigsy]

The 100mm jack pad is miles better than the smaller diy jacks. Less risk of slipping when jacking up.

 

[Flob]

I've had the SGS 3 ton one for several years now with zero issues, my dad has had his for 8 years, lives outside in the rain and also still works fine.

The only gripe I have it how f**king heavy they are!

 

[Flob]

Just bought some knipex grips tings - really really impressed!

The jaws stay parallel when you open them too and the little cam thing seems to give about 4x more force than normal pipe grips. Me likey!

 

[dann2707]

Lovely looking things. How much?

I wanted them pretty quick (as it turns out, for no good reason):

I think they are probably under £40 if you shop around - nice things though!

I got myself some of these Bahco ones recently

Only the 250mm version but I'm after the Bahco 8226's after I smashed my big grips on the concrete after having a paddy😂

I like them. If they had the nifty parallel jaws and can thing the knipex ones have I would have bought them instead.

I like the size adjuster thumb button thing

Ive got a set of snapon ones set of 3 or 4 that had for a million years but cost a fortune back in the day

 

[Brigsy]

Knipex will be bang on, good brand.

I borrowed a set of snap on ones recently to undo a rounded off brake union. Prob better than most sets of stillys, great bit of kit.

They look proper, more like man mole grips!

 

[Brigsy]

Agreed more like mole grips. Im rarely impressed with snap on but these are 100% worth the dollar.

 

[BashRacing]

They're made by Bahco, they're about half price without snap on branding on

Aye was gonna say they're the same thing with a different laser etched brand

Very good though. Bahco stuff is good as long as you're looking at a screwdriver or grips😂

Used to be really good stuff back in the day along with britool

 

[Brigsy]

Purchased, thats a lot better price than snapon

 

[dann2707]

How do they work? That's one hell of a threaded bar haha

 

[Brigsy]

From memory the threaded section adjusts the jaw height, was ages ago when i used them. The grip you can get is unreal though just by squeezing the handles together, better than most molegrips

 

[Speedo Gonzales]

Basically a big set of hybrid stilsons and molegrips

 

[thecrim22]

Not technically mine but its me that gona be using it but new torque wrench
