    Non-Makita pruners?

    The Bravobro also arrived, took just 9 days. Already got me in trouble with the other half for making a mess in the garden, chopping stuff up with this thing is addictive, will save me so much time over using the loppers. I think I may buy another set at that price just to have on standby in...

    Multitool blades

    People often say 'you get what you pay for' which I generally disagree with, but for the multi-tool blades you have to buy branded or they only last 5 minutes, particularly if you're going anywhere near any nails. I have the Makita LXT multi-tool but I always buy Bosch blades which seemed to...

    Non-Makita pruners?

    One would have to be a bit simple to think that's a Makita pruner. It's not as if they are misrepresenting anything and it doesn't say Makita on it. The brand is clearly Bravobro. There are now a huge number of these devices that are not made by Makita connecting to Makita-compatible...

    Non-Makita pruners?

    Whereas I just pulled the trigger (pardon the pun) on the Bangood one. https://www.banggood.com/BRAVOBRO-30mm-Cordless-Electric-Scissors-Pruning-Shears-4-Gear-Adjustable-Tree-Branch-Pruner-For-Makita18V-Battery-p-1752048.html Will also let you know how it goes.

    Non-Makita pruners?

    Yes, I get that but for the Bosch one it's the oddest thing I've seen. Some importers have it: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184901698543 I can find it on the Bosch website only for the Oman region: https://www.bosch-professional.com/om/en/products/pro-pruner-06019K1020 Video: A comparison with...

    Non-Makita pruners?

    It doesn't look like that deal is available to me. But I can't go for the bare, need the batteries and charger, and that pushes up the price a fair bit towards the Milwaukee, which may be a better deal when you take into account cheaper batteries: £229...

    Non-Makita pruners?

    I used to have the bosch glue pen in green with the USB charger but I got a bit annoyed with it. Never charged when I needed it. I switched to Makita battery compatible amazon one and decided not to buy tools with integrated battery in the future. I'm sure I'll be more interested in those...

    Non-Makita pruners?

    Yeah, I'm in the UK, but watched a lot of reviews for these shears from US and AU so I think that's where 20v comes from. Thanks for the clarification.

    Non-Makita pruners?

    The dewalt one I was looking at was https://www.amazon.co.uk/DEWALT-DCMPP568N-XJ-Handheld-Cutting-Capacity/dp/B0B3N53RC2 But I'm not familiar with the batteries, and there also seems to be a 20v one. Why it's only 2v difference I have no idea.

    Non-Makita pruners?

    As a Makita lover I've tried hard to justify dropping £600 on a bare DUP180Z. I can't. So I have a few options: Bosch pruner (using the 12v system). It's a little odd that these are only available from Ebay and Aliexpress making me wonder if they're all actually fake. It's a nice idea...

    IKEA: Why does this sh*t always happen to me?

    I can steal the heavy duty shelf from under my existing kitchen oven, and I can replace it with the new not-so-heavy-duty-but-good-enough one. The new-style oven support is sold separately: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/utrusta-bracket-for-oven-galvanised-10301960/ That gives me one decent...

    IKEA: Why does this sh*t always happen to me?

    I started off this week-end with a fairly straightforward project idea. An 80cm x 200cm space on the wall where I want to put a cupboard, with a couple of printers. Except they're heavy. And so I wanted shelves that are a little more sturdy than the usual shelves which just rest on some rods...

    Smart Interval Timers

    My post clearly says 'PC' and not 'computer'. Stop making stuff up.

    Smart Interval Timers

    https://github.com/albertogeniola/MerossIot Start by figuring out how to control them on a PC, then you can ultimately move that code onto a RPi or something else.

    Straight slide bolt going into a hole?

    I didn't get this specific one, but the key thing was to include the word 'Architectural', once I searched for that, I got loads of hits for similar. Thanks so much for this.

    Straight slide bolt going into a hole?

    I think I'd best describe it as like the image below, except without the zig-zag. I want this to put a bolt on a half-height door along the top edge, if that makes any sense. Oddly I can't find any such thing. It will be for internal use. Thanks!

    Chipper/shredder

    If you're talking about the UK Forest Master they are cheap but I'm not buying from them again, some people get on with them but I was less than impressed. I'm not sure what you mean by "American forest master", do you have a link? Stihl are rather plastic-looking affairs that look like...

    Chipper/shredder

    You mean this one? https://www.justlawnmowers.co.uk/eliet-maestro-city-shredder.html I'd stretch to that if it's rock solid.
