makita 24V sds. kicks the competition into touch.

Anyone tried the new BHR242 or BHR243? (difference is with/without interchangeable chuck)
Makita BHR243RFEV Cordless SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Drill With Dust Extraction 18V Li-Ion 3.0Ah Batteries x 2

I had a look at Elex and it's a nice short unit, so maybe easier to handle in confined spaces and up ladders, unlike my present Makita SDS which is a long one with the handle on the far end.

Is the extraction as good as you'd hope?

Edit: just noticed that you're talking about 24V. I find the 18V good for everything except extended use on core drills.

Don't waste your money on the Armeg box cutter, they are crap and cost the earth, buy mine instead, it is still crap but a lot cheaper than new. £20 plus P&P.

Latest things I've bought are a martindale multimeter, bahco socket set, a wera uninsulated screwdriver set, keep my insulated ones for the good jobs , next on the list is a cross line laser, impact driver and a new head torch.

 

[Geordie Spark]

A set of nuts for when things get tough and you need to battle on.

Whitworth or Metric?

 

[DPG]

I need a new metric adjustable spanner. Daz

Get the LED Lenser H14R head torch and the Bosch GLL 380-P laser, they are both exceptional!

ive got the 18v and its very good, if your doing a lot of core drilling i think it would be better to get a transformer and sds max drill

Thanks, I already have an 18V Makita SDS (and a 230V Bosch for extended work). The question was, has anyone tried the new Makita SDS with the dust extraction?

there is an attachment i think for the brushless one etc. I have never seen it but if it was a good price would consider it, what are your views on them guys?

Some sexy new blades for my multi tool. I feel like treating it as it did a right good job at getting some exposed floorboards up today with hardly any damage.

Excellent choice!

 

[i=p/u]

I've been looking myself at milwaukee 1, but £100 dabs

 

[Jdsparky]

My makita dab keeps freezing as of the other day....doesn't give me enough time to get to setting and restore to factory, gunna have to leave battery out for a long while me thinks.

 

[overskilled]

Got my eye on a hitachi combi and impact driver set (the one with the 92nm combi and the 2 4Ah batteries)
Though with the way the finances are going I think I might just have to make do with my AEG a while longer and try and find the spare battery...wherever it is...probably lurking with my megger volt pen....using a kewtech at the moment (all screwfix had in stock that day...ugh)

That sounds like dodgy power.

There is an internel battery that keeps settings and powers backlight.

If power goes off either plug or battery runs out display will still be on

Not so much a toy but an essential bit of kit that i bought for £2 at a local tool market

300mm ultra long nose pliers, for getting cables in those hard to reach places

excellent addition to your tool kit!

2nd that

 

[i=p/u]

On you own with 300mm long noses
