Makita 18V Cordless System
There is some support for the lab to start purchasing good quality cordless tools. Makita seems the most popular option, with a single system being desirable for sharing of batteries. These purchases will be postponed until we have suitable secure storage.
Tool | Body-only | Notes |
---|---|---|
Makita DHP481 combi drill (the powerful one) | £180 | £400 kit with 2x 5Ah batteries, charger |
Makita DHP459 combi drill (the small brushless one) | £??? | Small, lightweight brushless combi for Smol Holes |
Makita DTD154 impact driver | £127 | |
Makita DTM51 oscillating multi-tool | £115 | |
smaller/lighter drill-driver DDF484? | ||
Makita DJV181 jigsaw | £170 | |
Makita DHS680 circular saw | £160 |
Drills:
- RMJ suffix = with battery
- Z suffix = tool body only
- DDF = drill drivers (no hammer mode)
- DHP = combi drill (with hammer mode)
- DHP481 (heavy and powerful model, Tim K has one)
- DHP484 (intermediate model) replaces DHP480
- DHP485 (intermediate model) replaces DHP459
- DHP484 is slightly heavier and stronger than DHP485, but not by much
Air compressor
- Big enough to serve multiple users in multiple rooms
- Quiet enough for the workshop, or able to be boxed-in with acoustic panels
- Air lines to other rooms
Workshop
Better bandsaw, probably Startrite- Planer-thicknesser-jointer
