Tool Deals & Offers

I agree. My comment was favouring the ones posted NOT the Ebay ones.

Are they made from gold

I tried using all the codes (SALE50, AGGLOB36 etc.) and none of them work unfortunately as they’re already in the sale section 😞

Wait till the weekend. There will be a code for 50 odd percent off.

These aren’t the same. They aren’t the Flexible head type.

It’s a cold from me

these are garbage, cheap recycled metal used so the masonry bits lasts fot about 30 seconds.

Luckily someone posted an offer for a £7.99 time machine at B&M then... Great set this, perfect for 95% of quick DIY tasks.

They had the larger set for £15 on prime day

Not sure about the usual price but checking the history on HUKD this appears to be a decent price for this. Heat OP :)

Hmm maybe it's up to 20% off, just checked their website and they have the previous price as £169.99. Guess it was more expensive there in the first place!!

This is the K4 X , it's usually £149.99 so not 20% off.

1.3ah Vs 1.5 ah battery. Both are ok for an impact driver

Not sure if it’s the same but it’s now £80 on a different link https://www.homebase.co.uk/ryobi-one-18v-impact-driver-kit-1x1-3ah-rid18-113g_p461858

That's the same homebase which plans to shut 60 stores? You'd be well advised to pay by credit card, if the item breaks, and you need to take it back (but can't because they're closed down) you can always ask the card company for a "chargeback". Not voted either way, just sayng.

Had one of these for years and it's a great bit of kit

Seems to be limited stock in all the Homebase stores around me.

Sounds like an 18v combi will suit you better. The general rule of thumb is the larger the hole, the more torque and less speed is required. Generally, not exclusively.

I mean I've seen almost all the reviews, from my humble perspective it seems like it is the same speed as a top of the line combi drill. Which in all honesty is better for me as I do I have to drill large holes through wood quite often so a good combi drill is already on my list of items to buy. Thanks for the help anyway!

As the previous comment stated you can’t really beat an SDS for masonry jobs, would make hard work using anything else really. Also of course why SDS drills have SDS bits designed specifically for the type of work. I would say I have been blown away by the performance on the Milwaukee SDS, for a 12v unit it’s remarkable. Plenty reviews on YouTube.

You can't beat an SDS for drilling masonry, but then you're not going to be driving screws with an SDS, so it depends what else you've got really.

been wondering about this for a while would i be better off getting a powerful combi drill or an sds? how much faster drilling say a 10mm hole in brick than a a good combi drill is the 12v sds?

I had this set, lost a few though, they just rolled away when i put them down

£13.60 on Amazon Prime (and never ever below £9) and 4.3/5 on the reviews

Rolson😁

Sharp deal

What's the performance like of sawing through bone?

only 4 stores in the country have them click and collect and two of those only have one at the time of writing. (shock) Cannock-9 Gloucester-1 Cribbs-1 Sutton London-2

Interesting so it’s like £95.99 inc VAT and you have to have an account to shop there. Or Travis Perkins identical drill but with 2 x 3Ah batteries etc and a bundle of bits to boot. £108 C&C available to everybody. https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/Bosch-GSB-18V-Li-ion-Professional-Compact-Combi-Drill-Set-2-X-3-0Ah-Batteries-and-Screwdriver-Bits/p/338898

It's only £12 more, there's VAT to go on this price.

I agree at least 3ah will cope with everything you can give it

2 x 1.5ah batteries with this Bosch drill as opposed to 2 x 3ah batteries with the Travis Perkins deal at £24 more. Personally, I would shell out the extra £24 for the far more capable batteries.

It’s misleading to put the price with out VAT and then add it as a note in the description

This isn't the case with Ryobi, their batteries have been interchangeable since day one, and you can run original ni-cad tools on li-ion batteries and vice versa (I think you may need an adapter to go one way). The trouble is they screw you on battery and charger prices, so what seems like a good deal in the first place quickly sours when you need a new battery. Take the original post- the two 2.5ah batteries are worth £80 apparently. I won't claim to know all the different brand's prices but I know you'll be paying less for more with Makita, Metabo and Milwaukee.

have reserved thanks OP

Not going under quite yet only 42 stores so still another 200ish to go.

I mainly buy DeWalt or Bosch Blue. For the DIYer Ryobi are a good brand but you need to be aware for many cheap brands they change the design of the batteries so 3-4 years down the line when your batteries are goosed you can't get replacements although the power tool is still in good shape.

That's my boy

Fyi, there are 2 on Amazon for less than £88 if anyone wants them. Gutted! They were 150 the other day

I have this - bought it a couple of weeks ago as part of my current fad (although to be fair I have used every one of the tools several times now). The reciprocating saw is brilliant (and like most powertools, dangerous if you don't use it properly). It's very powerful, and you could easily break your wrist if it binds so be very careful. You might also find yourself with tingling in your hands after using it on full whack (excited) As mentioned above, it's a battery killer - I have the 5ah batteries and it still eats those when doing anything intensive (recent example, cutting through some inch-thick ivy roots and also hacking a 3-4" tree stump to bits). It's a very versatile tool - so far I've used it to; * Cut up pallets for pallet-projects (with a wood/metal blade, it cuts through nails in pallets like a knife through butter) * Cut down a small tree (2-3" thick trunk) * Hacking various things in the garden * Breaking down an old broom handle so it would fit in the bin (my least exciting use but the one which led to my warning about binding above - almost pulled my arm off cutting that pole down). It seems that reciprocating saws use a standard blade (or at least DeWalt use a standard blade which is shared across many manufacturers) so you'd be hard-pressed to get the wrong blades. The bare units do not come with any blades so get yourself a multi-purpose pack off Amazon for about £12 - this will see you right for tackling most jobs. I've used the metal/wood and the wood blades for various tasks and they are very good for the price.

No blades, I'm afraid, just the bare tool. Pretty much any reciprocating saw blade will fit as they have a universal fitting. I personally tend to stick with Bosch blades as they nearly always do the job without fail. One of the great features of this saw, by the way, is you can can put the blade in four different angles - very useful if you need to work in awkward spaces.

Good to know, thanks. Do you know if it comes with any blades, and what size blades it takes? I've never had one of these reciprocating saws before

Got Powertool World to pricematch this a week or so ago. It's a very powerful saw that will cut through pretty much anything with the right blades. As has already been said it will eat through batteries quickly - and you really need some good anti-vibration gloves if you don't want your teeth shaken loose.

Yh been there and Screwfix and didn't have it. Ended up buying it on eBay for a 1/4" driver, wasn't expensive. Thanks guys for all the comments.

Bought the same set about 6 years ago and it's been brilliant. Bargiain for anyone looking for some cheap sockets

Have u tried Halfords? They sell individual sockets.

Ebay is the best place for random sockets at a good price. Stick to known brands and you should be fine quality wise. Halfords professional variety are well priced and solid. Teng are a good bet but a bit overpriced. And if you are willing to sell a kidney, Snapon is an option.

True agree, i need something for the kids bikes or when need to do the small odd adjustem etc.

only 4 stores in the country have them click and collect and two of those only have one at the time of writing. (shock) Cannock-9 Gloucester-1 Cribbs-1 Sutton London-2

Great price thanks

hot

Any good deals in First Aid kits lol

bargain IF U can get

B&Q Wickes Homebase (well, some left) and are there any others? Screwfix but that's part of B&Q anyway. I find them all bloody hopeless these days. BARGAINS! Yeah, 3 or 4 in the whole bloody UK! The websites of all of them get worse, nearly half of the stuff is invariably OUT OF STOCK. The time you can waste (time is money!) it's easier to go to the store and have a look.

One in stock almost certainly won't be: probably one got nicked years ago and still showing on the stock system!

LOL 4 stores with stock in my area ... cannock 50 miles away and has 1 in stock :) then coventry 54 miles with 1 in stock.. its a wild goose chase..

Yup! I wonder, did the OP manage to buy one? I think this could do with expiring unless some people have managed to find the single remaining clamp in the entire country ;)

whats this like compared to the one posted? https://www.diy.com/departments/500w-corded-impact-drill-vid500hf/735538_BQ.prd £15 ?

I think SDS is the type of chuck that it uses. I think this is a standard 13mm chuck rather than the SDS fitment. And I think SDS can be used on just hammer action so it won't spin for things like chisels.

What's difference between this and sds?

Cheers ideal to put away for Xmas for the little dude

No deal, it has to be battery or petrol. No wonder this death trap is reduced!

Chainsaw with a power cable. What could possibly go wrong

I've got this chainsaw and it's not that good to be honest...chain constantly goes slack and it gets to a point where you just can't get it tight again

Do they ship these to Texas?

I find it harder chasing down teenagers when I'm plugged into the wall

Rubbish Jigsaw. Took mine back last time it was on offer

"220V battery power." Oh really? (shock)

None left. Expired.

Chainsaw ?

You need a track saw. They were in lidl a few weeks back about £70. May still be in store if you are lucky.

I have the Aldi version of this which appears to be identical bar the name- this seems a good price and it is just fine for non-precision stuff (everything I do...) but I don't think it solid enough for anything more exacting. It is rather noisy and the laser is a joke I'm afraid.

A track saw may also suit you. The Titan saw from Screwfix is well regarded for the money.

Try a circular saw (w/ a decent blade) and a guide (either hand made or purchased) if you dont have space. Made an entire desk using this method for the large pieces and the cuts are as perfect as you'd get with a table saw. Though for what you're saying a sliding mitre saw sounds like it'd be perfect.

Might be out of stock soon as I bought 100 of them to sell on eBay..... .......just kidding 🎣 (lol) In seriousness these are great, I've had mine for years and it's great when you least expect, and also replacing batteries on the odd kids toy.

It's for registered customers only, so will work when you register and sign in

Nope - will try again (embarrassed)
