I've got same drill. It's greatcrust wrote: Sun Feb 20, 2022 10:55 am Makita.jpgStood in the pissing rain yesterday holding a mains drill on an extension lead rebuilding my fence I decided I'd get me one of the new-fangled battery jobbies.
So later, in Wickes I spotted a 3Ah Makita combi drill and thought sod it, I'll get it.Half an hour passes, two obviously returned products (one missing the supposedly included battery) and a whole load of "we can't find that one" I ended up with this:
I never need my 240v jobby now.crust wrote: Sun Feb 20, 2022 10:56 am Tried it in the afternoon and I have to say, it's pretty impressive, firing screws in with ease.
Can't beat a bit of air power
I can sometimes remove a nail dent with a good hard file but it really depends on how hard the file or chisel is.Silly Car wrote: Tue Feb 15, 2022 9:04 pm I picked up a cheap n nasty honing guide and a range of wet and dry paper from 120 through to 5000 grit
I’ve spent an enjoyable time fettling a couple of old wood chisels using a small piece of 18mm MDF from the garage as a flat plate under the wet and dry.
With the first chisel, I had to start with a 40g sanding belt to get rid of a nail divot and a slopey bevel, gradually worked through the grades up to 800grit on the primary bevel, then on the second bevel up to full 5000 grit, 10-15 strokes per grade, with the end result of a fairly polished second bevel which could shave the hair on my arm. That level of sharpness is a first for me.
Second chisel just needed 10-15 strokes per grade to re-establish a clean primary and the same to get a hair shaving edge on the second.
Just need to work my way through my other chisels and planes now
I'm on the verge of buying another Makita just like this, but in the end I just ended up repairing the one I already have (older model, busted the chuck).crust wrote: Sun Feb 20, 2022 10:55 am Makita.jpgStood in the pissing rain yesterday holding a mains drill on an extension lead rebuilding my fence I decided I'd get me one of the new-fangled battery jobbies.

Yeah, I didn't want all the extras, I wanted the kit with no extras but two batteries, however the kit with extras was in stock and the others wern't.DefTrap wrote: Sun Feb 20, 2022 9:48 pm I'm on the verge of buying another Makita just like this, but in the end I just ended up repairing the one I already have (older model, busted the chuck).
I probably -would- have bought this exact kit but all the unnecessary extras put me off.

Yeah, I know. It's Pen's AJP. Been back to the shop and they said it was OK. Still a problem so took it apart tonight. We're off out tmrw so had to go buy a clamp. I wound them in 3 or 4 times with WD40 helping and that might have done the jobKungFooBob wrote: Sat Feb 26, 2022 9:55 pm If you can't push pistons in by hand, then there's an issue somewhere.
Except for rear callipers on cars, which need winding in.
