I've got the titan electric as linked in the OP, paid £35 about 2 years ago, it does the job fine, no complaints, I don't use it to cut down trees or anything, just to trim off reasonably thick branches and cut them up for green waste, 75mm and under diameter sort of size. I've never used a...

High speed low torque, Low speed high torque, I imagine?

Ok the 996 has arrived, feels decent, 1.6kg bare like yours. So it is a little heavier. Approx 10%. Assume the 2.1kg was with a battery fitted. Not doing themselves favours by not being clear!

Very light! Which gen is that?

Ah that's the impact. I was referring to the combi drill :)

Good idea, I've only a cheap Aldi multi tool, wired, use it regularly. Can see the 355 for just under £80 on eBay Toolstation and the 356 can be had for £105. Much diff between them? Just the vibration and 3 stage switch?

I know the fuel gen 3 and gen 4 are more powerful, but no figures I've seen are close to 1kg? I did look at a pair of the gen 4 fuel (2x5ah etc) for £325, and the previous gen 3 impact driver and combi drill combos, worked out an extra £50 or so to go Milwaukee for similar items.

I didn't quite realise how heavy the 996 was until after I hit the order button. 2.1kg bare.... I was on the fence about cancelling, but figured I'd wait for it to arrive first and make my mind up then. I already have a Bosch pro combi which I'm upgrading from. 1.35kg bare, so I have a light...

Rightly or wrongly I went for DeWalt....they come up on sale far more often so I'll likely to be more tempted to expand the collection. Went for a DeWalt 887 impact driver, with 2x5ah batteries (will pick up a 2 or 3ah at some stage for when I want it to be light), charger and case for £148 on...

I recently had to cut and fit around 11m of oak worktop in my kitchen and utility . This included 3 corners (butt jointed with 3off dog bones and biscuits for alignment), a gas hob and 2 sinks, I went through 3off trend c153 1/2" cutters for all of this, the disposable ones that cost under a...

Thanks all. Yeah I would like an oiled wood finish. All posts taken on board. I think I will cut my own slithers from some spare pine floor boards just to fill the gaps where the tongue has been removed (I have a few hatches cut into various areas of the floor from when I had the place...

I bought my first router (1/2") to fit my kitchen, oak worktops etc. I went for the Hikoki M12VE. I was concerned the Triton would be rather heavy based on reviews I read here. I've no basis for a comparison but it made easy work of the 40mm oak tops. I used Trend cutters with it and found...

Am I right in thinking that the standard tongue and groove joint doesn't actually need anything additonal to seal it if the tongue and groove is in tact? Or should I seal up everything regardless?

Hi all My next project involves our flooring. So the original floorboards in our house are pine, our plan is the sand these, theb stain and seal with Fiddes hard wax oil (already have the oil and stain). My question however resides in how to seal the gaps between the tongue and groove? Where...

Looking at Milwaukee, are the fuel range worth the premium for heavy DIY use?

Wasn't questioning anyone's skill. Just value for money!

In this instance the Milwaukee SF offer would seem the better deal? Similar cost but with an impact driver?

Impressed with them?

I suppose the main question is, is there a set of criteria, or minimum specifications in which you can use to seperate DIY and trade gear? I.e, an 18v combi drill must have metal gears and >50Nm of torque.

Really interesting discussion going on. Given me a lot to think about. It's made the decision all the more difficult! Boschs universal battery idea is certainly a strong plus point to stick with Bosch, only thing putting me off with Bosch I can see is that the Bosch impact driver I had planned...
