Favourite Tool?

Apart from a drill driver (also Makita) my favourite tool is a Makita 4341 jigsaw - every time I use it I realise why it's worth the price. Eats 40mm worktop for breakfast.

Completely changed my mind about jigsaws.

Least favourite is a Mac Allister (B&Q) circular saw which went back today for a refund - heap of s**te. I use a circular saw quite a lot (I do lots of decking), just ordered a Makita 5604R.

I've become a huge Makita fan over the last few years.

Tend to agree - have a Makita orbital sander which I got when I managed to kill off an old B&D one, and my standard mains drill is a Makita too (replaced dead Bosch). Seems to be very well screwed together kit.

I confess I do like my old B&D Power File most though - it's a vicious little beasty but so useful and when it dies, it will get replaced with Makita's version......!

Least liked - I too sent a crappy cheap circular saw back to Homebase a few months back having bought it for building a stud partition. It's footplate was several degrees out + they are a bit too brutal for my liking. I finished the job with a jigsaw.

Midge.

Most definately my large lump hammer !!!!
