Lithium batteries. You are a weirdo.

I bought a planer from Screwfix for £10, as they gave me a deal, about 5 years ago. It is accurate enough and performed faultlessly. One of the best £10s I have ever spent.

I think he was referring to lubrication oils. But there again.......
So why would I need one. I already have 2 x 240volt Bosch, 1 x 110volt Bosch, and a 18volt cordless DeWalt SDS.
So it may be more appropriate for you to buy one and let us all know, as it was you who suggested they must be OK.
.....there again? Must have been batteries....

Mr Cheese,
You are the one who thinks he needs a test beforehand, so please oblige. I merely gave him a lead of a cheap battery SDS, on which he can make up his own mind.

I'm surprised that you didn't recommend a Wickes SDS, or have you gone off them?
Mr Cheese, the Wickes battery job is rather more than £50-60. He is a DIYer.

Given that many of the tools in the sheds are sourced from the same Chinese OEMs, they are often _exactly_ the same except for the label and colour of the plastic. There is one half inch router that I have seen badged at least half a dozen different ways...
You can add routers to that list.
Jig saws are an odd category, since there are low and high end tools (with such a vast gulf in performance difference between them that to all intents they may as well be different tools altogether), and yet there is no apparent middle ground...
"In out and out performance, this out-Bosches the Bosch models. Torque output is one of the best here and, while all tools in the group seemed to have lasted ages on a single charge, this is undisputedly the best. Possibly because of the NiMH batteries. Makita throw in two double ended screwdriver bits, two batteries, and a fast charger. And there are two gears, and 16 torque settings. Fantastic quality throughout ? but at a price."
Roughly translated: you get what you pay for...
Mrs Bullshit, Wickes power tools are well suited to DIY, because they're no good for Pro use.
And by implication you are now an expert in battery technology as in everything else - because you've read a manufacturer's website? Which, of course, will be *absolutely* accurate?
I'll bet Sinclair loved you. Have you still got the C5?
But John does no actual DIY himself - just talks about it. Apart from cutting plastic pipe with a hacksaw and ending up with a leak - for a friend, of course. And this from one who claims to be a 'heating engineer'.
They aren't, but how they are set up makes a vast difference. A poorly set up one will go off true very quickly.
Yup. I never use more than 1mm.
Wickes have a pro and DIY range. The pro range is very pro being made by Kress. Many other pro makes rebadge Kress kit. Want to pay £180 for an 18V battery dril, if price is your criteria, then Wickes have one. I can't see many DIYers paying £180 for a drill, unless they are mad. Now you know Mt Cheese.

Most people are capable of reading an Argos catalogue. What's needed is someone who has used such a tool - and preferably who has also some experience of others.
However, I've not felt the need for a cordless SDS drill for DIY. Andy has given an example of someone who does, for pro use.
I have a Red Wickes 4.5" angle grinder supposedly made by Kress, or so I was told when I purchased it. It is the biggest load of crap I've ever bought. The Switch is stiff and often doesn't latch, you can't fit cutting discs on it because the collars on the spindle have too much shoulder on them, and it vibrates like nothing on earth. But it would probably be ideal for you.
The pro range is grey.

If you say so. Have you put the cheapest oil available in your car yet?
