A good offer from Toolstation?

[littlespark]

From Screwfix I think I got a 5Ah combi with 2 batts, and a 4Ah SDS also with 2 batts. Less than 300 for both. A charger and box each

Dewalt, T stak boxes

Those of you with apprentices might take a look...
They won't need to borrow your kit, and hopefully will be very happy with their own gear.
Plus...you can snaffle their batteries!

that's got 30 more torques than my AEG and the AEG is more than enough for most use. dewalt impact spades fly through normal wood on it. can't sayabout 200 year old oak timbers. might need a 110V for them.

Which is better then ,the Bosch or the the DeWalt impact spades ?

not tried the bish, bash, bosh, so can't comment.

I have Dewalt spade bits - they're decent enough, but I don't think they're impact rated.

Irwin SpeedBor bits are also worth a look - those things tear through wood.

I've actually been testing one of the Irwins on the impact wrench
It's an old piece of furniture so I reckon the timber is pretty hard, gets through it though

I've started buying cheap SDS plus auger bits for the hilti 110v.
Got fed fed up messing about with SDS chuck adapters and keys

Sure sharpen them a few times and bin them then

I pick up the occasional new SDS Plus bit on ebay at bargain prices. Some really good branded, old stock for less than the price of new junk.

Recently picked up a couple of Reisser Zentro (4 cutter) - top notch German made gear. In fact here's one with stock still available, although not sure if you can still use the likes of Parcel Motel for delivery to IE.

Of course the fly in the ointment with timber is nails and knots

You can spend big and hit a nail

I used to have a 25mm wood bit that you'd replace the screws on it and sharpen it up , can't remember the name, was a bit more expensive than the basic
