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. Purchases have started where there were good price opportunities.
