Thinking that Makita has a pretty good idea though by doubling the volts for 36v range yet keeping the AHrs down so they can be used across all tools?
There is no way I could see myself working a little say impact driver screw gun with a 12.0 gardening monster battery strapped to its base :-)

Have you seen the power tool battery adaptors?Quote:

You could get a 10Ah Milwaukee battery to work with your Makita.

I have never tried any of these type of thing, but I just stumbled across their existence recently.
Hey mate, yeah I've come across them before, actually suggested @MB gets one so he can use the Makita trimmer with his Milwaukee battery set. They look good, I just figure I've invested so much money with Makita, i want to stick with their product.Quote:

Yeh for sure, they wouldn't be worth getting if you didn't already have a set of batteries from different power tools that you wanted to make use of.Quote:

the bloke didnt know too much, but its exciting to know makita are ignoring the elephant in the room, might be said they are trying to be the turtle in the battery war for the higher demand devices?
Picked up this bad boy from Bunnings for $50, in the runout bin in the tool section. Stoked, it's a solid bit of gearhttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/09/58.jpg

Used a few in anger now.. including some "I should really get a fixed ringy for this" jobs. Feel pretty solid and haven't had any issues.
The roll is handy too. Had to change a radiator in my daily at work the other week and was nice to be able to just throw this in rather than pilfer my toolbox.

Supercheap had a sale a little while back. $75! The sale has ended unfortunately but they still have them in store for $149. I reckon I'd still pick up a set at full price now I've had a chance to use them.Quote:

Recently bought a Fiskars X11 splitter. The X7 was too small and the one above the X11 was too big to split the smaller stuff. I got it from the UK cheaper with post anywhere cheaper I could find it local. Go figure. Excellent size too.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...019/10/120.jpg

Yep they are awesome. Got one as a freebie from 4wd tv years back at loveday forum trip. Is a great thing well worth whatever it retails for. Better than any splitter or axe ive had and light handle its easy to swing.Quote:

That's a blacksmith's vice. They were made rugged so that you can bash the hell out of them. I also have one and definitely agree about the handle - got my fingers pinched in there a few times.Quote:

Edit : NVM Managed to find an Aldi who had one left. P2506 ECM/PCM Power Input Signal Range/Performance code. Just need to decipher this now.
If you go into an autobarn they can put their scanner tool on and give you the code.Quote:

The scanner Autobarn had for $149 is identical to the $49 scanner from Aldi. Just different labeling.Quote:

alls good @mudski here some more spanners I had to buy mainly because I hate borrowing
Years ago my mates and I would share ond would have and electric drill no cordless back then/
Now i seem to be trhowing my old cordless out, no one want 12v stuff not even 14 volts.
Plus some Tee bar ball point allen tools I "Recieved" from the airport, great tool right feel.
Love my tools tooomany nah
@mudski not a Norton something early British say a broughs superior
or one of the 500s like a BSA or royal Enfield ,Manx plenty to choose from just a matter of finding them
earlier the better , you can buy repro wall hanger Harley and Indian circa 1910 for $2500.
This Harley
is for a reason next bike will be a different brand same porpose,
Its basically finished just getting some parts Black chromed.
Im remoing the exhaust heat shields drilling some big holes in them
Wrapping exhaust in black exhaust bandage then replacing the heat
shields after they have been black chromed.
I used black chrome on my bikes way back in the 70s back then we
had 10 second bikes capable of 130mph plus
Stihl loving the new RB-800, @matfew and I had a ridiculously muddy day though blasting a decent windfall root ball for an upcoming display project idea.
