Power Tool Brands

Honestly, we have these threads weekly.

The consensus is any of the big name brands will compare just as well when put to task. Doesn't matter.

Only buy old used power tools if your sure new replacement battery's are available.

>I'm considering manual tools
Fucking top idea, old boy - that will save us all having to read the shitfest that this thread is shortly about to become.

Not that I CGAF really either, but, I think it was actually TTI/Milwaukee got taken to court by Makita for shady practices - which may have been yet another issue tho, they all at it.

>Should I go to yard sales
yes.
>there are none at my Uni
aint none in my back garden either - solution?

actually, what he said - yard sales and stuff are good for old manual tools, strange things and cheap 'corded tools' - I would go further tho and suggest, fuck buying anything tool-related that needs a battery second-hand, anywhere. The battery is almost certain to be fucked, and replacing it will cost you near the same as buying new.

So, 2nd hand for everythiing else (esp. if you can repair the odd fault) and can use corded - want a cordless? - Biy new, its not like theres no choice. And, as >>1036910 rightly said, they all the fucking same anyway at prosumer / hardware store tier.

My university is rather isolated, like it takes two hours to get to some kind of houses or anything like that.

Well I'll take your advice though, I can take a train to the city for a few hours then spend the day browsing and come back at night. No pain no gain.

Thanks appreciate it anon.

Got it.

Then I guess I'll just buy the cheapest corded tools new and get the tools I really need (manual tools) from yard sales, etc.

So I talked to my parents about it, and my Pops just literally went on eBay and bought me a Stanley Defiance Hand Plane, told me to buy a grinder once I get the money to sharpen it properly, and to get to work. Cost him $30. Good stuff?

Were poor but he just up and bought it. He wants me to work with my hands apparently and encourages me to finish projects. First time we worked together we built this desk I'm using. He told me to build my own work bench soon to take to University.

So is my dad as based as I think he is?

>>1036946
Sounds pretty based desu...

if you go for one of the bigger brands that has invested a lot in their battery tool selection you would save some money down the line as you only need to buy one charger and 3-4 batteries.

i know makita bosch dewalt and milwakee has all the battery tools you need.

i went for makita.
and would recommend any of the above, just stick with one

I'd buy corded tools for the shop since they are inexpensive and work well. Much love for my many cordless tools but not necessary in-shop.

Ebay has a fuckton of manual and power tools of all kinds and you can lurk for deals. Since travel is a hassle, don't spend money on travel and do Ebay instead.

I can afford any new tool I want but I learned how to score quality used tools for much less and enjoy the hunt and sometimes the repair (brush swaps and commutator cleaning are easy).

Ebay is stellar for getting pic of any tool which interests you. Spend an evening looking some up.

kys already, you fucking retard.

>>1038069
why talk makita then

Get cheap decent tool u need, and buy some good ones for the things u do the most.


buy GOOD bits and sharp drills. they cost a bit more but are worth it.

Like a Skill (bosch factory)

It will probably die quick because of all the dust.

DUST KILLS MACHINES.

So, invest...

>makita
I sold a Makita cordless drill in the local paper, I got it back as a Christmas present from my brother-in-law, minus the power pack
