Sawzall seams to be the tool that everyone associates with Milwaukee and is regarded worldwide as the best,like other manufacturers just said O.K you win.
-
That annoys the heck out of me.It should be the same everywhere,not just some things available in one place.Or only available in U.S or U.K voltage and not both.
You can't buy those big hawg drills over here either.

Wayne: I have not the slightest damn clue what "standing down and delivering like a highway man" entails, but I'm going to assume I agree. For whatever strange reason that made me think of that song "Whisky in the jar".
A highwayman was a robber who took all of your money just like in the song. LOL

Sometimes makes you feel like a bee banging its head on a sweetshop window.You can see what you want you just can't get to it.LOL

I know a sparky who swears by Makita and loves them,but my experience recently has been folks swearing at them.
-
I just don't go near Hilti,that little flashing light that says stand and deliver like a highwayman is a no no for me.

I like the look of this bit of kit.

I just think when they do research, they give tools away and folks just tell them what they want to hear to get free gear.
It's brave to do an honest review on a tool like the guys do.
I don't have the finances to buy every tool that comes down the pipe, so I can just be honest about what I buy, and thanks to Eric and Dan over there in the U.S, and Toolstop over here, some of the articles I write get to a larger audience than on my own.

Only Makita make D.A.B radio though.
-
The weakness over here is only one radio has D.A.B the digital capability and thats the Makita, but I avoid Makita because I have had megga problems with them.

I will keep hunting, normally it costs me more in shipping than the item.

Lenox make some very very good blades, I bought a job lot of hacksaw blades years ago and still have some left now they rock.

The Robertson screwdriver is still the best design but for some reason it only took off in Canada.

I've just found the make of my faithful little stainless steel bladed pocket knife.Cheap as chips and has been a belter.
Its a John-Benzen Electricians knife.Do you guys know this manufacturer?

Meanwhile back at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.LOL
London put on a fantastic show and there was a Gig right outside the palace last night that was very cool.

The problem over here with Milwaukee is getting hold of them.
Either you can't get something at all like the taper shaped wood bits that look awsome by the way.
Or if you can get something, you pay megga bucks for it unless you wait an age for prices to drop, or find a one off bargain on e-bay.
The other thing seems to be many suppliers have fired them off, saying they are real bad over here on the support side of things.

Hi Conductor 562,
And welcome back Eric, newly returned from behind enemy lines I presume ( Computers eh?) LOL.
When I say Cobalt I mean made of rather than made by.
Drill bits with cobalt in them are great for stainless steel and very very hard metals.

At least in the U.S you get a decent amount of food at a fast food outlet.We get a burger the size of a shirt button, and enough fries for a decoration in your breast pocket.
There is a real chance that there is more nutrition in the box.lol
