Pennywise

Think fein might give them a run for their money, they now have a quad speed, brushless 12v! With interchangeable chucks!. I'm a Hilti man through and through but I need a new multi master too and they have a 12v compatible one now so seems they've almost stolen my heart ?. http://www.axminster.co.uk/fein-ascm-12c-drill-driver-afmt-12q-multitalent-12v-kit-101907?gclid=CIaalbCutssCFa0W0wodqVAIqg

lol I wouldn't buy it! And besides its probably a third party rebranded trolley , as for getting up and down stairs, isn't this why we have apprentices...... .

What's €260 between friends plus it's probably a bit lighter than the dewalt pallet lifter toughbox trolley

Well they do something similar but at a price...... http://produktprogramm.tanos.de/index.asp?idart=364&idcat=32

Hey Sven welcome. Been using Fein for years!, currently got the old incarnation of the corded multimaster, I've been holding out for a year because I was waiting for the lith cordless 18v to land, then I get down to one of the largest tool fairs in the UK a couple of weeks ago and as promised by your staff the year before there it was! Only slight problem, it's still got a brushed motor! And 2.4amp hour batteries. Do you have any idea when the jump will be over to brushless on the cordless?. Thanks

I'd like to see a multitool and as you say a miniature sawzaw like milwarkees! Which we use all the time cutting plasterboard boxes into double tacked ply lined walls in retail units. Killed 2 milwarkees so far lol. Unfortunately I can justify a new line of 12v stuff as I'm tied into the 22v and festool/protool drill drivers. Would have been nice to see a removable chuck system rather than having a separate drill driver and screw gun.

Hilti haven't let me down yet, brilliant customer service and great products. Talking with them at a recent tool fair in the UK makes me a bit excited for 2016. Finally they are bringing out a charger radio!!!!! Lol plus the nail gun and larger capacity 22v batteries the states have already gotten

Used wiha, wera and bahco now onto Irazola, hands down the best drivers I've ever used and I'm using them on a daily basis as an electrician.

I just bought a peli top loading flight case for all my tools, brilliant and tough

The 18v SDS is a real jewel in that range and couple it with the dust extraction unit and it becomes a amazing proposition, we do fight over it at work as we do install equipment and lights once all works have been completed so surfaces can't get dirt on them, I even have to put my Hilti down lol.

In the UK in my opinion makita ruined their reputation a few years back with the whole issue with their 18v lith batteries, they also extended the range of tools far too quickly and managed to dilute the quality of individual tools. As a more positive they do seem to have sorted a lot of the problems but still it frustrates me that they seem to make the tool kit sets of a lesser quality than the individual tools, the apprentice has just got the set including the SDS, impact, drill driver, jig and work light put the impact side by side with the other guys new one and the battery indicator is missing LED work lights aren't as good and the moulding of the plastic looks rougher . If it where my money it would be Milwaukee for sure!.

If only there was a way of getting into the boxes stacked in the middle.....

I have only just been a convert to one make and battery platform, I use to take every tool on it's own merit and all the crap that comes with it chargers etc boxes that don't match! now I've settled on the Hilti 22v platform I don't think I'll ever go back to individual brands .

I'm definitely sold on cordless angle grinders now!, picked this up a few weeks ago

I'm sorry to say that I don't think they offer the same service in the US, shame really as I would have thought it might tip some people over to the blue and green machines.
