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.

Tool | Cost | Notes |

DHP481 combi drill | £159 | Heavy-duty option but weighs 50% more |
DTM51 oscillating multi-tool | £105 | |
DHP484 DHP485 | £90-100 |
Other suggestions: die grinder, router/trimmer, planer.
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
Impact Bit Sets:
Erbauer 32pcs set £9.99moved to Screwfix list
Air compressor
Wishlist:
- 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
Cheap-Powerful-Quiet: pick two. Tim suggests that we go for a quiet oil-less 25-50L system. It would be sufficient for adhoc dust blowing, nail guns and other low-power tools, but not for heavy-duty tools (sanding, die-grinders, impact drivers). We have Makita for those.
Optionally, run a hose to G14 and we could get a pnuematic glue/solder-paste dispenser for SMD work.
Orazio 24L compressor £130 (£240 for 45L model). This is a cheap Chinese option. Reviews are mostly okay, but there might be some quality control issues where we have to make minor fixes before use.
