Cordless or corded ? me I mix Em up and was looking before and have festool - jigsaw , hand grinder & symmetric chop saw , plunge saw Bosch - drill drivers & sander , belt sander , jigsaw , mitre saw , plane Makita - multi tool Metabo - vac , drill driver , hand grinder Ryobi, - sander , 16 gauge nail gun , chainsaw De Walt - radio Pain as lots of different battery’s but a lot of corded to as don’t go much site work if any.
Chainsaw for chopping them architraves daz yeah I've got a mixture aswell, but mainly makita and dewalt, I've got a 'site' driver that just don't want to die so it still lives in the van but keeps getting in my way Brands I have are evolution, makita, dewalt, erbuaer, site and a 240v black and decker drill lol My lad (sparky) has just spent a fortune on a full Milwaukee kit

It’s mad lads. If you add up how much we have all spent on tools over the years. How they they get on in the 70s lol
I remember when all my tools fitted into a tool bag,i roughly added up the cost of my tools a couple of years ago and it was over 40grand then,i think i might have a problem lol
I tend to buy whatever is decent and on offer at the time I need it... so I've a mix of Makita and Dewalt mainly with a few Evolution for good measure. As time goes on I'm going to try and stick to one brand for ease but I doubt it will end up working...
Back in the day 80s/ 90s I had a tool bag with no power tools and floors got laid. What’s happened lol
Can you remember when you bought your first fairly expensive power tool? I think mine was a £430 door cutter in 1999
I remember winning my first gym, and walking onto a site in Nottingham which looked like a barn. About 1500 sq m all in sheet vinyl. Within the first day or so of being on site, I had spoken to Leister and bought a grooving machine, and auto welder, with the last of the money that I had. By the end of the job, I knew it was the best money I had ever spent on tools. I think I might still be there grooving out now, if I had`nt.
I think that's why we now have more tools, we know we can save a lot of time and effort, plus, it's always nice to have a shiny new toy
