Handy master key for clamps :cool:

Is that the best price for the grinder? Very tempted.

I've got the Li-ion bug now

Just bought this and this. Sorted for a shade over €300. Savage deal for 2 serious tools!

DCF887P1 you bought is only a toy compared to DCF899P2. 205nm vs 950nm (1625Nm of breakaway torque). Don't expect too much.

We drove 11,000 9" screws over a few days with one of the impact drivers , it got so hot that we couldnt hold it so we bought a second one to let it cool down
Thats two years since it got that reddening and its still going well enough

Nice. How do you get the bits into the angle grinder?

Much prefer to buy from a shop than one of the pricks on Adverts tbh.

Plenty of decent sellers over there. One of first places I go when looking for something. Just deal with sellers that have good solid feedback and you'll never go wrong.

I'm on about the various dudes selling the impact wrench.

I hear ya. I'm not a profiteering fan myself but the comments like "offer withdrawn, I'll wait for the next Screwfix sale and get it for €210" are stupid. It'll never happen again. Not a chance. If the recent sale had not happened, that asking price would be regarded as a good deal. The last guy was taking the piss at 480 though. Anyway, luckily we got sorted

Noticed on eBay that the DeWalt stuff in the US is a good bit less looking for maybe a cordless impact driver and drill similar to what dodzy got -In no rush for these and I am however going to be in Florida come Summertime, anyone suggest a good spot to get these cheap enough? Home Depot stocks DeWalt bt any other suggestions?

I was looking at the US market myself. The dollar is poor now.

Last time I was over i used sears.

Just arrived from UK. Delivered for €3.85. Thank you PW.

Mine arrived last week, but only got to open it over the weekend. (Thanks OP)
One of the batteries wouldn't charge.
Rang Screw fix, and it appears that they don't do repairs, like they do in the UK.
Their only option was to return for a refund..
So, check both batteries and make sure they both work.

Ask them (screwfix) to just replace the battery.

Failing that, contact dewalt directly ( and activate the 3yr warranty online)

I rang dewalt Ireland. Very helpful. Sent me to agent in chadwicks, who tested battery and replaced it with a new one. I emailed him the invoice from my phone for the warranty claim.

Screw fix won't see any more of my cash.

Great result. I knew you'd get sorted with dewalt. They are great for that stuff. You were skuppered with Screwfix as there was no way you were sending it back. ''Twas still a great deal with just the one battery:)

If anyone wants to sell one PM me. I was looking for a Milwaukee version of the same thing, but if I can do a deal with someone so everyone does OK i'm interested....
