With the heavy duty right angle chuck specific for it I have used in instances where a hole hawg would be used and it powered through it. It wasn't cheap and the new Dewalt 996 is a great value but I'm really liking it and no regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdst_1 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I too have the Hitachi but still to use them. Is there something similar for Hexheads. I have to lay down sheets for the roofing but the screws available here have hexheads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Nut drivers with magnets are very handy, I use the Bosch version...though I don't use them a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdst_1 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Yes, those are the ones I need. Will check out for Bosch ones as they will be easier to come across here in India, especially metric ones that I would need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have trouble finding them, try to find deeper nut drivers and buy some small magnets and epoxy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered the FlexVolt table saw and joist drill today. Was going to get the blower but I'll wait a month. Don't like seeing the savings drop much at a time lol. Also ordered a Freud Industrial blade for the saw. Running out of FlexVolt to buy! I recommend getting the ego blower. The power claims are no joke. It might even be better than some gas models.

They are basically meant for short blades cutting EMT, etc. Is Ego truly that awesome? The blower is on sale right now with a second battery. I'll have to see if it's the latest model. Was attempting to stay away from new batteries but they seem to have the only serious cordless mower around. The FlexVolt string trimmer was a stupid cheap deal so I don't regret getting that rather than Ego. Blower prices are similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FlexVolt string trimmer was a stupid cheap deal so I don't regret getting that rather than Ego. Blower prices are similar. The one I got was the 530 cfm unit with turbo button. Where did you see it on sale? I have used a handful of blowers all gas. One was even a backpack blower. I would say the Ego may even outdo some of them in power. The Ego is my first handheld blower with a rear intake and the feel is different than a side intake blower. All the hardcore gas ope users may change their mind if they use this blower. It is able to blow air at least 30 or so feet with decent power. I did a not so scientific test inside the house haha. In a better test I could blow off the driveway (2 car) after mowing in very little time. I would estimate less than a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I have an M18 already, would have preferred another of those, but it's an hour's drive, so can't get out there often enough to really keep on top of the clearance stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D W Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 4 weeks to ship the Makita sub compact drill from the USA to AUS. It was $240AUD (~$150USD) including shipping and 2 x 2.0ah batteries (also not sold in AUS). Well worth it. It's a better drill than the Metabo imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
