Walk a mile in my shoes.

My feet prefer nudity.. but there is probably some law against that.

Last battery tool I bought was a $700 Makita impact driver, dropped it
off the roof of a 2 story house, it barely got a scratch and still works
perfectly.

My makita battery drill no longer works as they stopped making the
batteries for it.

You live in a constant paranoid and delusional state.

The whole world is not after you.

Ashley you're right. Shirley it's just the gov with increasing fees
and charges and everythin*k* is illegal, worthy of a fine, including
normal human functions such as drinking in a public place (Qld) and
pissing on the beach.

Al

Can't you just piss in the water like everyone else?

I don't like wet feet!

Did you know sharks are most active during evening drinking hours?
One should only piss between the flags?
Besides..
I get bored standing there waiting for the tide to come in.
What if you're on top of a sand dune (well away from sharks)? Do you have to
wait for global warming and erosion to take a piss? .. and then the fuck*ng
sharks get you.

very rarely the lugs are soldered , they are spot welded.. even then , some
times they are that tightly packed you WILL NOT be able to rebuild them.

Ya lazy buggar, rebuid the old ones! Last time I rebuit a Drill pack I
used Emergency light
batteries. All you have to do it break open the plastic wrapper and
desolder the lugs and use em to
rebuild ya drill pack. Theres always thousands of those that have only
just failed there 90
discharge test that are being thrown out. If you need seom Baz, let me
know and I will find some
that have "Had" to be replaced ;o)

AEG aren't regarded as quality tools any more regardless of the price,
they used to be good but not any more.

Concrete pavers, most of the power tools used by the blokes I work with
are trade grade Makita or the occasional Dewalt, a few blokes have
tried other brands like Hitachi, Bosch and Milwaukee but nothing
survives the harsh treatment of daily tradie use as well as Makita.

Panasonic probably make the best cordless drill but bring your wallet. For the
money Makita can't be beaten.

Hilti seems popular in Europe, never had one so I can't comment either way.

Picked a Hilti case in the verge collection a few months back - thought the
case might be good for storage.

It contained the Hilti drill, vary speed / reversing + hammer, about 10mm
capacity, two batteries, the charger and the user manual.

It works fine and has done quite a bit of work for me in the last 3 months.
Very pleased!

Great score. Have a look online to see what it is worth for a laugh. Some
people have more money than sense if they can throw that away. Pissed off wife
prehaps?

Popular here as well but very expensive, my electrician nephew has a

Hilti rotary hammer drill which is excellent but it wasn't exactly cheap.
Hilti have a lease scheme where you just make a monthly payment and they
replace the tools with new ones every couple of years, its not a bad way
of getting the use of good tools if you don't have the cash up front but
no matter how long you lease them you never own them.

When it comes to drilling concrete you really can't go past Hilti. Great
stuff. My old man used to have a stack of them. I wonder if he still does.

Drilling concrete or masonry isn't something I do often so I didn't want

to spend a lot of money on rotary hammer drill so I bought a cheapie.
Its an Ozito which so far has worked very well, I doubt it would last
all that long if used every day but its very good for the rare occasions
I need it.
