Time for new battery tool kit

[Timbo]

CAG115XPDB paddle switch with braking.

Ooh I'm just looking at M18 grinders, which one did you get ?
Looking for recommendations

Yep same as Timbo I think stops in 2 secs rapid braking and quick release disc lock no spanner required and chuck a carbide disc on and it clean cuts floorboards, trunking allsorts.

Good stuff guys. I was thinking the fuel version with paddle switch and braking. Just got to decide 115 or 125 now.

I have 18v Hitachi stuff

I used to have Milwaukee, thought it was nothing special. I buy Milwaukee stuff for the toolmakers and they hounded me to get Hitachi for them.

Makita used to be good, but the new stuff has lost quality.

On a side note the Metabo corded 230v gear isn't bad. I work in a factory so 110v and lugging transformers around isn't necessary.

Buy some "fake" batteries and test them out first before repacking your tools.

They do a 230mm one as well
(Not that I've got one).

Yes, 9 inches is a bit too big for me though.

I went for DeWalt - the 54v stuff is incredible and the battery fits the 18v gear too, that said - the Milwaukee stuff is very good and if I had to do it again I would want to have a closer look.

So which set would you choose?

You'd buy both, what are you asking for?

Sorry mate, nothing really

You didn't get the title of forum tool tart for nothing.
