no the old good model was the pfz550 i think the 500 only takes small blades not the standard recip blades if you want something reasonably effective for little money look at the skil model

no they dont bosch blue is only available at professional outlets ( and screwfix)

you could get the new bosch gsb18vli for about £220 plus the vat , the gsb18 with the nimh batts should still be available for around the same price with 3 batteries and a impact driver body or you could save up your pennies and get the gbh36vli COMPACT which is a hell of a lot lighter than...

no problem - just use the 11/4" straight blade not the curved one. cordless one comimg out in september which is just as powerfull but a sight more expensive

this has been around for some time - http://www.brimarc.com/home.php3?page=products&pc=C_100_7 you would be better getting a bosch pmf180 mutii tool though...

if its a diamond bit then you must use water , otherwise you will be lucky to drill one hole . Suggest you try a irwin cordless bit which are a lot cheaper than diamond but are capable of driling porcelain - dry

you speak with experience of hilti and makita - only 2 brands out of lots . As i said before makita did seem to have probs with their batteries but seem to have overcome them now . Bosch have never seemed to have problems .Note though that bosch have only done 10.8 and 36v , the 14.4 and 18v...

no axe to grind at all - but you made a very sweeping statement that seemed somewhat un-informed . I have no vested intrest as far as this forum goes - i do sell both bosch and makita and granted there have been problems wth the makita li-ion batteries , which now seem to be sorted . Certainly...

pardon me for being blunt - but what a load of crap :shock: (please note - i used a far stronger word than rubbish !) over the last couple of years ive sold a lot of bosch 10.8 and 36v lithium powered drills and have NEVER had the slightest moan directed at me ( and there aint many DIYers who...

there seem to have been no problems with the bosch 36v or the 10.8v . Makita did seem to have some problems which now seem to have been resolved. I'd avoid the lxt and mxt as both have very suspect gearboxes.The cordless that i would reccommend would be the bosch "turbo tough" very powerfull ...

wolfcraft do a nut and spanner kit for less than a fiver any local wolfcraft dealer should be able to get you one

quite a while back - see the abrasives act ..............(thats all i know :oops: ) doesnt apply to diamond discs as thay are a lot safer

the date is a "use by" date not only is it illegal to sell them when they are out of date - its illegal to use them !!!! no date on diamond discs as they dont tend to denigrate ( if thats the right word) over time by the way did you know that you have to go on a training course to change...

before you try anything check the metal ring in the centre - if there isnt a date stamped on it - bin the discs . If there is a date on but that date has past - bin the discs. If you arnt sure which is which - bin them in short - BIN EM ALL they arnt expensive and i'm sure that you are...

bosch and makita both make sds tile removing chisels at around the 315 mark. the one you hit with a hammer is sold by brian hyde ltd but doesnt show up on their website - they sell at about £28 . if that is what you are after i suggest you get in touch with brian hyde and ask for local stockists

have you tried asking stanley ??? Given the history of the level they may well try to help you out

to answer your question - it depends on what length nail you want to fire. A brad nailer will fire 18g brads from 15 to 50 mm , the 2in1 will do the same plus staples up to 35mm. A second fix nailer will fire 16g (lot thicker) nails from 32 to 63mm . For arcs etc i would think that a 2nd fix...
