    Mail versus Guardian

    The Guardian is a vile piece of leftist trash. It can't die soon enough. I'm not a fan of the Mail either but the Guardian is rotten to the core.

    2017 - How do battery power tools compare to petrol?

    Maximum output is typically 10A for a Lithium 18650 cell so you can expect up to 540W out of a 15 cell pack.

    2017 - How do battery power tools compare to petrol?

    The Ah rating is at 18V. Divide by 3 for the 54V rating. I don't know what the backwards compatibility for old tools is, hopefully someone here does but you should definitely check before you buy. The benefits come from having 15 cells in the pack as opposed to 10 in a typical 18V pack (or 5 in...

    2017 - How do battery power tools compare to petrol?

    A strimmer (not brushcutter) is the one that makes most sense to me to run on battery power compared to other tools since it is much lower powered. I have a Makita 18V one that I use on my own garden and on gardening jobs that come my way. I've never come close to draining a 4Ah battery on any...

    Replacement Kitchen Cabinet Doors

    Make templates out of scrap wood for drilling holes for the handles. You'll need a LH and RH for the cupboard doors and another for the drawers if required. Drill a hole in the template in the correct position then line up on the door and drill through. If not confident, test the template by...

    Makita DHP458 and DHP481 drills - Anyone used both?

    I didn't interpret it that way. He was making the point that the cells used by Makita are very high quality and designed for long life.

    Help with my fence repairs

    Trying to hammer the spike into the existing stump is a bad idea. You are very unlikely to get it in straight. The only proper solution is to chop the existing concrete out. If you have a masonry drill, try stitch drilling out from each of the 4 sides starting with a small bit and working up...

    Filling a 75l tub with concrete

    Definitely heavier than that unless you use lightweight aggregates. Typically has a density of 2.3 to 2.4 so 2.3*70 = 161Kg

    Knock off batteries

    I've heard of issues with the early Makita Li ion batteries before proper protection circuitry was introduced on the tool and battery since it was possible to overheat and over discharge them, both of which are very bad for the battery. I'm not aware of any problems with the ones that have the...

    Decent SDS drill bits

    I'm impressed by Irwin Speedhammer but I haven't worn one out yet so can't comment on longevity. A single 6*160 is about a fiver. I think you must drill a lot more holes than me...

    Best way to buy scaffold board... fence replacement

    If you need to take that much off you just remove and reposition the timber bracing. If you use contractor close board panels you don't even need to do that since there isn't any timber on the sides to remove.
