StrippedScrew

Does anyone know if Makita has ever sold the DDF481 and the DTD148 as a kit? Reason I asked is because they never seem to sell both together.

Was having a bit of a chin wag with my local Dewalt dealer on the new flexvolt gear coming out and I asked him whats the prices on the Dewalt dcs575T2 cir saw with 2 6Ah batteries and he was abit reluctant to say but him been a mate he checked for me its coming in at €600- $679

You can say that again Im guessing €500 minimum for some of the new stuff. We always get shafted in Ireland.

When are they releasing the prices I'm hoping the recip saw isn't too expensive but than again its all new stuff so I reckon there be a premium on it.

So many goodies coming out, Was going to jump ship to Makita but I think i hang on that bit longer I got my eye on that new recip saw and the circular saw.

Look likes I be taking a trip to Belgium

Is there a website to purchase from?

My only Makita gear, I'm hoping to replace it as the batteries are just trashed now. I'm holding out for something new to pop up before I take the plunge.

Looks like an impact driver on steroids!

Ok I dont need it but Id love one

Nice I await your arrival with the splitter

Yeah my haul is only small compared to some people iv a very well insulated house so I run a small stove noting major Il get 3 or 4 winters out of it. Having said that I remember last year an elderly man rang me up to do a job for him, to process some firewood I said sure, went out to look at his logs and my jaw dropped he had about 6 articulated truck loads of logs sitting there for about 4 years! it took days and days to cut through them.

To be honest It depends on the winter sometimes in Ireland we get a wet but a mild winter of a dry and cold winter, I use a small stove so the wood in the photos will last me about 3 winters maybe more.

If only it was chopped already.

Plus a stick for the dog.

Got home from work with my load of timber so threw on the new bar and got to work, the stock Ms 362 made short work of it 6 cubic metres,cut in 2 hours, tomorrow I do some chopping and stacking and I'm done.

I thought Milwaukee is owned by a Chinese company called TTI?

What are the prices on these? liking the fatter one.

My eyes my eyes

Not only that but sometimes the store owners jack up the price purely for profit despite already making a profit i.e Milwaukee isnt as big in Ireland as the US as say Dewalt so when a shop gets it in the prices are huge. The 2nd gen Milwaukee impact driver is around €700 in a local place which is $788.

Same here in Ireland power tools can be just ridiculous, iv seen tools four times more expensive than the US or Canada. That been said I always buy my tools from the UK.

I love the Purpleheart It will age nicely.

Picked up a Komelon Stainless steel tape, Nice tape.Also was giving two cordless planes as a gift today Going to come in super handy for my summer project a traditional style carpenters tools chest.

He sure knows he way around a bench plane that's for sure.

Yeah I was at work and my wife called and said the book arrive, I was smiling like a kid all day. That smell of freshly printed paper mmmm.
