Amazon for buying Makita 18v li ion kit ?

[toolsntat]

To be honest I had never looked at Amazon closely until I found the 3ah Batteries for around £60 delivered :shock:

So as an unknown quantity on my part is it as good as it sounds?
Looking to get 4 batteries, planer and sds to upgrade my kit.
Maybe you know a better option?

Cheers

I think Axminster have an offer on the 18v 3Ah batteries (their own brand). Pretty sure that were £50.

There are 4a and 5a batteries available now

Try ebay, too.

I find ebay as good a place as any a lot have free delivery, just check their feedback first

Be careful buying Makita on ebay, if they're not uk stock they wont be guaranteed by Makita UK

If they were the ones I & a few others bought they were garbage, mine wouldn't charge from the word go.
There was a thread on here about them.

+1. Though I think it's European stock

They need to have a CE mark on, I had a hell of a game trying to get a new drill with a shagged gear box sorted as I had bought off EBay & it wasn't CE marked.
