Black Friday

Do you have a mag drill? I have one here, and it's a brilliant tool in it's own right. Drill through anything. I have a standard chuck that fits into the mag drill's chuck, and enables the use of standard bits. Once I get the mag drill set up on a piece of RSJ or something, I can use it as a pillar drill. OK, it's a bit of a compromise, and probably hasn't the capability of a good pillar drill, but perfect for occasional use.

A mag drill is fine but it needs to one a very plane level surface where it is magnetised completely or it can lift under pressure. I got a pillar drill recently from Lidl which is ok; one thing I can't figure out is if the chuck just fits into the spindle and relies on centrifugal force to hold it in position whilst drilling, or should there be a grub screw to tighten and hold it in? Again, it has a habit of dropping down under pressure.

ieDepot may have some good deals worth checking out for hardware items.

Looking out for a battery grinder if anyone saw anything for value.

Find that a very good dosing gun, 20 ml is plenty big for sheep

Siennheiser wireless headphones in Euronics Shops if there's one near ya. Get the HD4.50BTNC noise cancelling ones for €99, they are about €40 cheaper than anywhere else including Amazon. Really nice sound, comfortable to wear while tipping about and the battery lasts 30 hours+

Looks to be good value:

Its a very good deal, the drill is a dcd996 which is higher spec dcd796 which is normally supplied. Jebbs have same kit 429€. I'd buy that kit, then buy the bare unit from amazon for €130, it basically means you'd be getting a drill for free vs, buying a grinder and 2 battery kit.

Yeah you would pay that for a bare unit DCD996 never mind two batteries, charger and case. I pulled the trigger last night and bought myself a Christmas present!!!

Correct, it's the grinder that's hard on batterys

Dewalt have new powerstack battery now , so maybe the older 5ah are good value
