I considered a red one, ‘cos they weigh a bit less than blue, but at the end of the day all my batteries & charger are blue. Didn’t seem worth the bother getting an adaptor plate. I bought some tubes...

With the many grease nipples on the OKA the idea of laying under the truck struggling to hold the thing onto a nipple whilst struggling to operate a conventional grease gun one handed, holding the...

My Christmas pressie, Makita rattle gun arrived on the mail plane yesterday, but was swiftly taken & hidden so I can't play with it until Saturday.

EDIT
Now Saturday (Christmas Day).
Woohoo!

Looks like a good thing at that price.
Being an ex nurse I still carry a pair of artery forceps for similar purposes which work ok so long as the hose is not too stiff.

Thanks for taking a peek for me Plassy.

Cheers Plassy, that'd be good. I note the $399 ebay one has 3 years warranty on it, whereas Total Tools says it has 5 years for $6 more.

Fondle it regularly, just as though it were a breadmaker mate. :tongue:

Thanks, for the advice on country of origin. If I buy, it will be online, so possibly hard to check. Maybe I could get...

Toying with the idea of a cordless rattle gun again, having seen the Makita I think would suit me for $399. It would be a 'travelling tool' with the aim of simplifying a few things & saving me a...

Anyone who buys a Bunnings rain poncho is probably a bit of a tool.......... at least if they expect it to keep them dry! Haha.

You can adjust speed & level of impact, but not torque setting. Only way to avoid risk of overtightening is to use the rattle gun to undo the nuts & spin them off & to spin them back on lightly &...

Just recently I discovered 'Torque Sticks' for the first time .... discovered as in read about them.

Would love one of those battery operated rattle guns, was looking at the Makita DTW700Z a 'mid...

I dont carry any other air tools except for a tyre inflator, but originally thought I may carry more air tools, so fitted a 9 litre air tank. Since then I have thought once or twice about deleting...

Another highly versatile Travel Tool. Was using it a few minutes ago to clean out one of the usb C ports on my laptop, & as usual when using it, thought to myself this is one of those tools where...

Yeah, checked the two Makita tools we travel with today. The impact driver - made in China, & the chainsaw - made in Japan.

For tools to carry in the car this combo from Bahco covers probably 80% of my travelling needs. The quality is excellent. The ratchet ring spanner set has really good tiny ratchet increments, good...

So how do you pick the Japanese Makita? Is it just a case of checking the label on individual appliances, or are they only available from particular retailers?

Good thinking batman!

I was about to hang sh*t on those blade type circuit breakers, but noticed in time that they are manually re-settable.

I had some auto reset circuit breakers of similar type, but would never...

I had a Stihl 036 for many years & have had the MS362 I replaced it with for a number of years now. If you can get an 036 in good running order I reckon you'd have the better saw, although the MS362...
