gypsydan Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Here is a very interesting product to carry with you in your RV.

wa_desert_rat Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 One reason I am keeping my northern home-base; a fully equipped shop is good to have when working on your RV is forbidden in so many RV parks. I don't have to carry them with me but they are always just a few days away.

Newt Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Milwaukee makes a series of 18V Lithium Ion cordless tools. It'd be neat if they made a similar setup. I have the drill. Probably the best drill I've ever had, corded or cordless. http://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless?product+systems=m18 Newt 2012 HitchHiker Discover America 345 LKSB 2009 Dodge/Cummins LIVINGSTON TX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champ_49 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I found it on the web for sale. So it is available at a cost of around $500.00.

Rich Stiner Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 A DeLorean is SST-clad, and so are many tools in booths at county fairs. I only share that to make a point - not to disrespect a contributing member. Is it 304 stainless or 316 stainless? How was it tempered? How are the motors in the heads wound? Nylon planetary gears in the drill - as specified on the website. What are the dimensions of the brushes on the DC motors, and are they serviceable? Is the charger optimized for the batteries, or was it the best deal available from a Chinese catalog? Where were the batteries (as well as the rest of the components) manufactured? The website clearly says "Designed and developed in the UK", but my Android an iPhony were designed and developed in the US - not manufactured there. There's a huge difference in value, depending on how the product is manufactured vs. cost. Look carefully at the specs. A common two-by-four is 1.75 inches thick - the only tool rated to take that in a single cut is the jigsaw. This is one of those products that hides its shortcomings in plain sight - leaving them plenty of room to dispel any claims of misleading representation. It's good for making birdhouses and jigsaw puzzles... maybe drill some aluminum... or make butter art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdickinson Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 To make the grade in Canada, it would need CSA approval. Parts would probably be a problem, it's not like Dewalt or the other major brands where Service is available just about everywhere. Even American battery drills, some years ago, could not be repaired in Canada. So Canadians buying tools from the Tool Crib in Fargo got a nasty surprise when the tool went in for repair. The serial # gave them away. In my case it was the trigger, the Canadian trigger wouldn't fit. I wound up trading my 15.6v Panasonic drill in for the Milwaukee drill and driver kit. Even the best tools break or fail. Bits and pcs would vibrate off and be laying all over the storage compartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
