    Makita AVT or not on hammer drills

    Hi has anyone noticed if there is much of a difference in the vibes to the user between a Rotary hammer and an AVT Rotary Hammer drill? For example Makita HR2611F v HR2610. I am wondering if it is worth the extra few quid for AVT (Anti Vibration Technology)

    Ac to dc converter for drill

    Seen a chippy onsite today with a ac to dc converter or his saw, basically it looked like a battery but had a 110v lead plugged into his "cordless saw" so it was mains powered. Where can I get hold of these for a Makita 18v? Only ever seen these today, what a great idea.
