Can be fairly inaccurate on a tractor going down a rough road. During the summer I put up 24k steps on it and I was sitting in a tractor all day

Keep thinking I’ll get a better head torch in some of these deals.

But, being a cavan man my battery one is still working and I hate replacing something that’s working.

There's no stones in Cork. There's also no rushes either and I've heard the cows stay out all year as well.

170nm hardly strong enough, you'd want to go for the 950nm

They seem to have different offers in different branches, but worth checking your nearest anyway......or travelling for what you want?

Most of my stuff i get from Amazon or ebay, shop around, look for "warehouse deals" on Amazon, it's returned stuff often with only a scratch on the box, can be good value, on ebay a seller called "powertoolmate" usually can't be beaten on price, the thing with screwfix is they are usually dear and they also have older gen tools(usually) but you can find the odd bargain on there as posted above.


Irish garage equipment and SGS Engineering are companies i've bought from in the past and i found them good as well.

Are you starting from scratch as in, do you already have chargers and batteries? A charger and one 5aH battery will often set you back €100 from any of the big brands so factor that into price.


Have'nt used any Dewalt drill so i can't tell you how good it is, but just going on price alone i think it dear enough at that price. I'm keeping an eye on drills myself as my 15 year old Bosch needs replacing as the NiCD batteries are obsolete pretty much.
I'm already invested in another brand so i'm reluctant to start from scratch with another set of chargers and batteries but if i get a good enough deal i might chance it.

Starting from scratch. Hoping to get drill, impact driver and 5" angle grinder over time.

DCD796 is probably better but can't justify the higher price for all the work I'd have for it

SuperTortoise

Drills and impact drivers can be got in a bundle usually, so can save a few pound there, grinders love batteries they eat them, should be looking at 5aH + capacity for a grinder as anything lower you'd be wasting your time.

Toolsense in the uk. If you have a vat number you can use it when ordering off them online. Amazon/ Ebay uk using addresspal are good too.

If you download the Hotukdeals app on phone and have a search alert for dewalt it is handy.

Got 2 4ah genuine dewalt batteries for 25euro each off amazon thanks to that app.

Got a dewalt 887 impact bare for 76 euro in UK, the same one in Ireland is 130 on "special offer".

Are Milwaukee considered better quality or harder wearing than Dewalt?

I see all the garagemen using milwaukee, not a dewalt in sight + the two sites above that supply garages/ businesses don't stock dewalt either (having said that they have lower quality diy standard stuff too)

Probably not a lot between them if i'm honest, i caught the Milwaukee disease last year, terrible dose, love their tools though!

I have used both Milwaukee and Dewalt a lot at work. My number one is Milwaukee. Dewalt feels awful plastic compared to Milwaukee. Batteries seem to come loose after a while. The chuck does slip a bit too. I have Dewalt chop saw, drill, impact, and grinder. They are old but still working. I'm seriously thinking of replacing them with Milwaukee if I can get a good deal.

Whole lot of Black Fridaying goin on here. Various web sites being consulted. Coopsuperstores.ie worth a look, competitive on a few things. Anyone know if Taktik can be got at all now? Doesn't appear to be available anywhere.

buying for a new house here, we had lots of appliances etc priced up with weeks
despite all the advertising no real savings to be made today,

By far Harvey Norman's was the busiest electrical shop we were in, not that they were cheapest but their advertising seems to have got footfall in the door.

Did you get them to match any competitors' prices?:D
I think the whole BF sale thing is a gimmick, Jan is the best time for a sale IMHO.

I was in Nike in KV during the week with the son, stock seemed to be limited even though they were giving 30% off, he couldn't find anything to buy anyway.

Few yoyo off fincord welding rods at wws for the gunterer/macgyver in your life;)

I see PG are offering €500 off the price of Moo Call Heat until Sunday i think.
Only a grand for it now instead of €1500. Anyone who paid €1500 for it recently would be fairly sick i reckon.

I bought some Sennheiser headphones for my eldest for Christmas on Amazon, £70 amd I got free shipping

Then I realised I’d bought them few days before Black Friday.

I checked the price again Friday evening kinda kicking myself and indeed they were on sale, for £92
