M18 Milwaukee hackzall is awesome

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Thx Erm

 

[AWheating]

what other cordless tools do you have, what you using it for?

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Driver, drill

I need it to cut into joists & other cutting if I get a job!

 

[gassafe]

All my stuff is the same... Makita stuff, can't be dealing with different chargers & battery's

 

[rocketmanbkk]

I was looking at Mikita

Just wanting to know if the 18v is good enough

 

[hammers4spanner]

Got a makita 110v been a good little servant

 

[AWheating]

i ment make

if you have a decent set of cordless tools already then just get the bare tool.

dewalt, makita, milwaukee, bosch are all good

brushless milwaukee is prob best of the 18v bunch.

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Ok, cheers!

I'll go for makita then, buy couple Chinese batts.

I'll be sawing anything that looks like it can be cut!

Why do you need one, a mufti tool makes them redundant.

Bored are we?

 

[on31ll]

Hilti 22v. Best ive ever had

 

[Dotty]

Bored are we?

Never, not whilst you give me the opportunity to take the weewee out of you.

 

[Rickster123]

Depends how often it'll be used. I bought a cheap one in b&q about 4 years ago and it's still going strong.

You're on fire tonight mate. Is the melowness of the ale not penetrated yet?

Yes, but you don't do much work do you.

Hilti are probably about £200 for the 22volt recip saw body. Must be good though.
Lidl do a Parkside 18volt one which looks the part and think it was only very small money & supplied with battery & charger. Can't be bad for it & 3 year warranty.
I have corded multi tool & it can do a lot of work, including stuff a recip saw can't.
Cutting top of joists for notches can be done with a circular saw set correct depth. Sometimes you need to temporary screw a straight edge bit of timber to top of joists to guide the saw nice & straight.

 

[Rickster123]

Yes, but you don't do much work do you.

That's harsh! I graft from 8am till 2pm most days...

Define 'graft'

 

[dom brennan]

Ok, cheers!

multi tool as in oscillating cutter Leo?

 

[gasmanrob]

The makita loves batteries!! Going through steel they don't last long but I'm still running 3.0ah

 

[Leo21]

multi tool as in oscillating cutter Leo?

Yes Mark.

 

[WaterTight]

multi tool takes longer but at least you never worry you're going to lose a finger (re-cip) or a leg (circ saw)

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

Yes Mark.

bloody hell;,they have their uses but must take ages and cost a fortune in blades,if your using it for notching quicker with a handsaw

 

[WaterTight]

i find it pretty quick if you've only a few to do and the blade is new (i've only ever got a few to do) but the price of blades has been the main problem.

...any tried cheap versions of blades yet?

Multi Tool Accessories - Toolstation

pretty cheap. but how bad can they be?

 

[Leo21]

Your right it would take ages, I use a circular saw and it takes seconds. I've used my recip once in about a year.
