| 1423343 | 2016-07-19 22:59:00 | I bought one of these they had them on offer $200 brilliant ideal for drilling and powerful for 10.8 you can't hold the chuck and stop it www.thetoolshed.co.nz | micky (7329) | ||
| 1423344 | 2016-07-19 23:05:00 | I hesitate to offer because it seems a bit opportunistic but... If you're likely to be in Hamilton and want a 2nd Hand Makita 14.4V for $100 we could do a deal... Has a case, charger, and 2 NiCad batteries. Looks like this www.makitapowertoolsonline.com It's a few years old but in good condition, however it uses NiCads and I don't use it often enough so it's always flat when I want it plus I have an 18V Ryobi with Lithium Ion batteries that's much gruntier. What I can't tell you is what sort of condition the batteries are in, they worked just fine the last couple of times I used it. |

| 1423345 | 2016-07-19 23:09:00 | Make sure you buy 18v Lithium Ion battery powered drill. Any others are yesterdays men. Black and Decker stuff is now pretty good after they went through a bad patch. They now own De Walt as well. Hitachi is also good but probably more expensive as is Bosch and Makita. Talk to someone at Mitre 10 who knows something. Remember that usually what you pay is what you get! | Richard (739) | ||
| 1423346 | 2016-07-20 00:32:00 | De walt own B&D . B&D and Ryobi are both bottom end, so expect quality. Now out of trade, I buy Ryobi, I like there mix and match kit. |

| 1423350 | 2016-07-20 00:55:00 | Damn it Sir! I do! Stanley, Black and Decker Group own the De Walt brand, trademarks, products and all intellectual property. So there! | Richard (739) | ||
