Do Ryobi do an 18 volt Vibrater?

Silly boy - that's Hitachi, or is it Hikoki?

It's a great little tool

Milwaulkee for me to, I've not had a bad M12 Fuel tool yet.

This is most recent purchase, M12 floodlight. Even with 6ah knock off battery it's still on 4 out of 4 after 3 hours use this morning.

All my M12 kit gets some right hammer at work and none of it has shown any signs of failing.

I like that!

I have just bought this one:

I like it as it can grip rafters in lofts.

It's blooming bright!, Medium setting is more than enough.

Really substantial as well (same as all their kit).

Snap-on Rep at work has had some banter about me going over to Milwaulkee but the quality is same or better in some case and half the price..

 

[Keithmac]

Used this a lot today at work and brought it home for another job tonight.

What an excellent tool!

It's got a collet adapter to bring it down to 3.1 mm and a Dremel quick release shaft with Diamond disc at the moment.

I might buy another for home it's that good!

I have one of those Keith, I use it for cutting off rusted bolts under toilet cisterns.

Do you reckon it would be any good for hogging away timber with burrs? Thinking about carving..

 

[Keithmac]

It's not air line powerful but a big step up from a Dremel.

I've chamfered some aluminium cases out today with an abrasive bit, it just got on with it.

What size are your carvings?.

Just bought another one for home, £120 for bare tool.

I like that,

I had a Dremel that although didn't see much use took a hammering when I did use it, didn't last long though before it died

That's what I was thinking. I've had a Dremel for stuff around the house for about 5 or 6 years, now - handy little tool, but always thought it wouldn't last and that a cordless die grinder would be a better bet. The downside of the Makita 18 volt model is that the batteries make it a bit top heavy IMHO. I have some Milwaukee 12 volt kit and I'm about to get some more (brushless multitool next), but maybe this'll become a must first...

What size are your carvings?

6 to 12in tall, about 6in square, yellow pine. I was going to try cutting the heavy waste away on a mate's bandsaw, then roughing the shape out with Surforms and wood rasps before finishing with carving chisels. I wondered if one of these with some spiral end mills would be faster than the Surforms

 

[Keithmac]

Should do that with no problems. This is who I've bought my two from.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304102799957?hash=item46cdf07a55:g:lBcAAOSw7pZg6uVe

I messaged them for 2nd one and they did a Buy It Now for £120 with free p+p.

 

[Bodd]

Thus I think will be my next buy
