De Walt Tools

Makita is not a reasonable DIY price.

Do you go to bed each night with the Makita manual under your pillow?

No, the precision point.

Again, the precision point.

Stop making things up.

That mean saying things that are not true that have been concocted out of your imagination.

Two different characters though.

IMM, stop talking about yourself, to yourself !...

No, one character, and one real person. You really do seem to have a problem with reality...

It is fo rme.

have you ever actually used a cheap jigsaw and then a decent one?

Have you actually used a cheap router and a decent one?

As I said, you don't understand retail distribution.

There's only one possible conclusion. People like IMM do little or no DIY

- just talk about it. It's obvious to anyone who has *actually used* both a 'budget' and genuine 'pro' power tool of pretty well any disctription that they are chalk and cheese. And this is obvious even when you first try a new type of tool - say a router etc. You don't even have to be particularly skilled in its use as yet.

That would also probably mean they would also be unable to tell the difference between a poor tool and a decent one. Might even lead them to the conclusion that the ony significant purchasing factor is price. Possibly even to dismiss more expensive products as only justifiable for "the pros'"

Hmmm... makes you think.

You do not the ability to assess reasonable.

Yep.

Which is irrelevant to the point in question.

I've gotta say, I've really had enough of these IMM/tool threads. He clearly is totally clueless on the subject, and has repeatedly refused to accept clue from those offering it.

From now on I'm filtering out any threads with IMM posts which mention DeWalt, Makita or Kress.

Do you all know that this one wears DeWalt boots. Yes, DeWalt boots. His job? He sits down all day twiddling knobs

What clues are these? I like quizzes.

Can you just killfile me. It is better that way, as you don't deserve wisdom.

No way dude!

Craving for wisdom eh.

Do you think she's simple, then? I think she might change her name to "Barking".

J.B.

I'm still using my cordless Makita drill which I bought 20+ years ago. Cheap versions of cordless tools were few and far between then.

In over 20 years it's never let me down and up until last month (YES, last month!) the original battery was still going strong. I bought a new original Makita battery last month for £25 and if that lasts me another 20 years I'll be more than happy. You simply won't get that sort of reliable service from cheap tools. You'll be lucky to have the battery last more than a year because cheap tools generally come with crap batteries.

Buy cheap if you're a fool and expect to replace soon. There's no substitute for quality.

I do roughly the same day job as Matthew Marks who started this group, and Dave Liquorice who is a valued contributor.

What job do you do, IMM, and proof please but more to the point, just how much DIY?

BTW, De Walt safety boots are ideal for DIY if obtained at a good price. Your favoured tutu isn't.

Sigh.....

To quote your phrase of the month - "Stop making it up"

Making it up?

It was, but I know that you only have a large enough stack to process two subroutines........

Woodworking mag have done a review on the 24v PPPro drill. They were complimentary expressing how robust it was. It costs £119.

Times have moved on a price/performance is now probably in the upper DIY end.

I did that but then I still get to see everybody's replies so you don't save anything. It needs a group effort or non at all.

What does that mean exactly? Not exactly understandable English is it?!
