Battery power tool recommendation?

The senility has taken hold. It is an independent report. Sad isn't it they get this way.

They are probably the same pro who diagnosed his ones senility too.

They are not pro quality tools, pro-quality ar Hilti, Makita, Dewalt XRP, and Blue Bosch. The other stuff does not appear on site very often. Panasonic is good, but not seen in the UK very often, the same as Meabo.

However, I do know some one that uses Ryobi Kit and has not any probs with it.

Which are not?

Google is your friend. Just search on manufacturer and part number.

Pricing is lower in part because of volume, part competition and part people's price expectations.

Coastal Tool is one reasonable supplier geared up to export but there are loads of others.

A few tips:

- It is worth buying several tools at once to reduce shipping costs.

- It is worth having your own account with DHL or Fedex and asking the supplier to use your account. This stops them marking up the shipping.

- Keep in mind that you will pay shipping costs and then on import, duty on the product, and VAT on the product and the shipping. Even so, on some products it is still less expensive than Europe.

- If you want to buy a lot of stuff, it can be cost effective to buy a cheap flight to the east coast and collect the stuff. You save the shipping cost and you get a duty and VAT free allowance on your return of about £140.

- Stick to the well known brands. You will not have a warranty on most anyway, although Festool does a worldwide one. At least you can buy most parts in Europe. For U.S. specific ones,

- 110v supply is not a problem. For cordless tools, the charger usually is voltage specific. If you are only going to use cordless tools, then a 50 or 100VA autotransformer from RS, Maplin, CPC etc. is adequate. If you want to use corded tools, generally only those with brush motors are suitable because of the difference between 50 and

Your naivety shows again. Why do you think they provide this 'report' for free?

Do you give away fittings from your counter for free?

Unlike you I do work in places where subcontractors come in to do the sort of work that requires power tools. And take an interest in the makes used. Yet to see any using shed stuff. Of course your boss may well employ cowboys to fix the adverts above your counter. But then he values your life rather the same as most here.

I do, but not to Nebraska. It's not a popular business destination.

The senility shows its ugly head again. Sad isn't it. Very sad. A Jocko d*****ad he appears. But please don't call him a d*****ad, it is his condition. Sad but true.

The senility is getting worse. Very worse. I blame Thatcher for all this.

..this senile man he calls me pet ..of inverted gender he must be set ..he gives us info we don't need to know ..down our throats he rams it so

..instictively you will spy ..in newsgroups with DIY ..attempting wisdom this fool will try

..misadvice he has lots to say ..so don't give this yellow booted half-wit the time of day

BTW, a 2 year professional warrantee too.

There's a 2 year warranty.

Most of the major manufacturers are offering up to 3 year warranties now, and of course have spares available for repairs after that expires.

Makita & crap DeWalt, 3 years? Spares are available for Ryobi.

Bosch

Yes, I noticed. Interesting how Ryobi list the One+ product as part of their DIY range.

Yep.

They don't.

What about them?

I just said most of the major manufacturers, and that is the case.

There are even some smaller ones like Fein, and Lamello offers 5 years.

Yes they do. Take a look at the link that I posted.
