Show me your charging setup.

I can carry this plank with chargers and batteries to were I'm busy.

That's not supposed to split.

Cut yesterday some steel and wanted to swap to a flap disc now, finding the part split in half. I rarely use an angle grinder, so I clear how long it's been like that. What's that called to find a spare?

12v vs 20v

I have about 10 tools that use the 20v line-up. Is it interresting for me to consider the 12v line-up?

The more compact tools look very eegonomic and practical compared to the bulky 20v batteries.

Why so many similar tools?

I recently got a 20V grass trimmer and a 20V leaf blower.

Now I see that my Lidl soon will have a very similar grass trimmer but it’s not the same, this one has thread on only one side (pictured) while the one I got has on both sides, other than that they look identical. And it’s 2€ cheaper. And they will also sell a “multi blower” that looks very similar to the leaf blower I got but it has multiple attachments. Same price.

I’ve seen other similar examples of several tools that are very similar.

My question is: why do they sell so many tools that are almost identical? It must be more expensive to have so many variants of a tool, than to stick to just one?

What should i do?

Hi everyone,

Last week I ordered this drill from Amazon. While browsing online, I came across this Parkside drill. The main purpose of the drill is mostly for assembling new furniture when moving. Should I return the drill I bought from Amazon and get the Parkside one instead, or is the one I already bought better? The drill I purchased cost 30 euros and parkside 20 euro.

Battery keeps showing error / how to reset smart battery

Hi all, I have this Smart Battery which was in a circular saw which locked up and broke on me. But the battery still shows the error code in the app. Does anyone have an idea how to remove or reset this? I don’t have the tool anymore for a while now.

I thought I hit the jackpot

Got 50 quid voucher from the mother in law for lidl so straight up to me local and what did I see my stomach got that fizz like a kid on xmass morn. All I could see was a drill with battery pack and charger included this HAS TO BE has to be the socket /bit driver I've been hunting not joking a year now. As I got close no it was just the socket thingy for car nuts ect no good for me the amount a times I get a wheel off. Anyway thought id share my misery. Did buy a tin a clear varnish and was wondering what it means by primer ?

Brass sprayer nipple does not fit standard systems (and I messed up when trying to fix)

Despite advertising it fits standard hose systems, the brass nipple is too short and does not fit any standard connectors. So I put it in the lathe at work to make it fit. Should have measured the inside dimension before taking off a mil, fml lol 😅

Looks like all Makita router bases fit the Performance line routers that take similar bases

This is the base that fits RT0702, DRT50 and DRT52 from Makita. Part number 199089-4

Fits like a glove
