Which is why I'm going for 4700k lights by a company whose lighting is used by major museums to light their paintings :)

Hi there, I'm hoping to please get some advice regarding lighting for my new study, specifically "daylight lighting". We're converting an internal garage to study/cloakroom, and I'm intending to use the office mostly for computer work. Specifically, I'll be editing photos and designing...

Been using Cobian backup for years now, for backup to external drives, and I use Carbonite for my online backups. Both seem wonderful, and although Carbonite isn't free, it's the cheapest I've found and Cobian doesn't cost a penny! :)

Thanks guys ... the sites are pretty confusing, but glad to hear from someone who does have one what it is! :)

I can't seem to work out whether the DC18RA is the 22 or 45 minute charger from Makita, when charging 3.0Ah Li-Ion batteries. These sites suggest 22 minutes: Makita AU, World of Power, Makita UK ... but these, 45 minutes: Toolstop, Amazon I was intending to purchase from FFX tools, who...

Great advice, thank you, and I appreciate your time in writing it. Lots for me to think about before making my decisions on what to buy. Maybe there'll be lots of post-Christmas offers!

I figured that - with the difference in both torque and blows-per-minute - it would be a more powerful hammer drill, which would make a difference when it came to drilling in bricks/etc? Also - as you generally get what you pay for with these things - when it's £43, £55 and £99 for the 453, 452...

Already planning to do that. When I get spare money, it'd be good to have a second battery for the drill/first battery for the driver, but that won't be immediately.

Looks great, but unfortunately it's double my budget and I still won't have my driver bits or masonry drill bits! :)

Hi again all, Having had such good advice on my last post regarding which drill/driver to get, I'm now considering which bits to buy for it. I'm going for the Makita BHP451 (seems "better" than the 452/453), and will also be using it as a driver until I pick up an impact driver (next...

Thank you everyone. I appreciate the opinions, and it's helpful to see some consensus as well. I think what I will do is to get the BDF452 naked, and then separately a battery and charger. This is substantially cheaper than buying a kit with two batteries. I will then separately pick up a...

Hi, I'm just starting out in DIY, although my old man's been doing it for decades (as a hobby), and my fiancée's father and brother-in-law are both in the trade (sparky and plumber). I currently have a very cheap and nasty cordless drill (some rubbish own-brand one), although it does work for...
