Must have electricians toys

Latest things I've bought are a martindale multimeter, bahco socket set, a wera uninsulated screwdriver set, keep my insulated ones for the good jobs :), next on the list is a cross line laser, impact driver and a new head torch.

Get the LED Lenser H14R head torch and the Bosch GLL 380-P laser, they are both exceptional!
 
Anyone tried the new BHR242 or BHR243? (difference is with/without interchangeable chuck)
Makita BHR243RFEV Cordless SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Drill With Dust Extraction 18V Li-Ion 3.0Ah Batteries x 2

I had a look at Elex and it's a nice short unit, so maybe easier to handle in confined spaces and up ladders, unlike my present Makita SDS which is a long one with the handle on the far end.

Is the extraction as good as you'd hope?

Edit: just noticed that you're talking about 24V. I find the 18V good for everything except extended use on core drills.

ive got the 18v and its very good, if your doing a lot of core drilling i think it would be better to get a transformer and sds max drill

Thanks, I already have an 18V Makita SDS (and a 230V Bosch for extended work). The question was, has anyone tried the new Makita SDS with the dust extraction?

there is an attachment i think for the brushless one etc. I have never seen it but if it was a good price would consider it, what are your views on them guys?
 
Some sexy new blades for my multi tool. I feel like treating it as it did a right good job at getting some exposed floorboards up today with hardly any damage.
 
a new pair of legs, pacemaker, and a 5 year's supply of ------.
