Charging battery powered tools

And I was correcting you, which was at least as on subject as your post in a power tool conversation. Your post was pointlessly correcting someone else who said mobile chargers...

You have a terrible penchant to drive needless and seemingly endless arguments ...

If I agreed to the IGNORE fubction ... which incidentally I don't - you would near top of the list.
 
I'm confused. It was yourself who nitpicked seeSimon and then me. Surely you can see that if you go back and read your posts?

You seem to have a problem with me. That's your problem. In this instance you made a post which was unnecessary and incorrect and you don't seem able to own that mistake or accept the correction. Again, that's your problem. Keep digging though, it's you that's pulling the thread off track here.

Just noticed that Brico Depot have dropped the price of batteries. An 18v. 5 amp hr is now 29;50 euro. So grabbed one. Might help my angle grinder bite a bit more.

That's a very good price, is genuine. What brand is that?
I'm currently Makita shopping and the best price I can find is £55 for a 5Ah.
 
It may come as a shock "lustyd" .... but I'm certain that I'm not only one who has a problemk with you ...

As to pulling thread off track - you have done that by trying to be smart and trying to pick holes in my original post ... where everyone else just read .. moved on ...

Just give it a rest ...

You tried to pick holes in my post, what do YOU think the difference is? I have not resorted to personal attacks, I am sure nobody has problems with your attitude here.

Off topic and getting tedious. Time to use the "Ignore" function I think. If I can find the right USB cable.

Machine Mart have a wired 900W hammer drill (CH0900) carrying their Clarke brand for 30 quid in the 2024/25 catalogue. Dont think I've used their stuff before, but this MIGHT be ok for my light use, if still carried, since I can use library stuff for big jobs.

Now £35.98 on website. Inflation, eh? Still relatively cheap, though

However, the spec page table contains the line "Use with Core Bits:No"

Why not?

I've also inherited a no name light duty looking 14V (probably dead) battery drill with no charger, and an odd angle-grinder-with-a-chuck stylee 12V Ryobi with no battery, both of which might be suitable for the jump-lead conversion mentioned above.

Got an Aldi Cheapo-Chinese 650W hammer drill

Look and feel is OK, but the depth stop release button doesn't work, it stalls on the lowest speed setting (but I havnt had that type of speed control trigger before so have nothing to compare with), the forward/reverse lever looks a bit fragile, and there was an electrical burnt smell on sustained operation, so maybe 19.99 is too cheap. Might return it.

OTOH with a Cheapo-Chinese diamond tipped core drill it put a hole around the sheared off rubbing strake screw pretty quickly.

10 piece set 3/4/5/6/8/10/12/18/32/50mm bits free delivery 6.63 from Fast Sam Shop

Pardon our interruption...

Now I need a set of Cheapo-Chinese countersink bits and plug cutters so I can put a bolt through the hole.

I mostly use wired tools, because they are more powerful. Recently been buying B&Q's Titan cordless 18v and pretty pleased with the drills and the SDS hammer drill. The angle grinder much less so, as it seems to be torque limited and cuts out if one tries using any force. Still, it is quite handy for little things, just expected better.

Just to add; I bought a 5amp/hr battery recently and the grinder works a lot better with it. Becoming the go-to for the smaller stuff. A lot quieter too.
