Power Tools & General Tools Recommendations & Advice

I'm in the market for an SDS drill,

I love Dewalt's gear and have narrowed it down to a D25133K-GB - but i'm open to other manufacturers.

I can get it for around £100 - are there any better alternatives for around the same price?

Thanks.
 
It depends if this deal has been posted on HotUKDeals and all the greedy people are buying 10 at a time to re-sell on ebay for a profit.

I'm very tempted, but i have a corded SDS.

Done it too :)

My guess... It's the price for unit only (unit sells for £195.00) - but the article certainly says 2 batteries and carry case etc!

Yeah thats my thinking and they've just posted the price on the wrong item. I know i've saw the bare unit on ebay around the £185 point.

Can only see what happens i guess
 
They are just under double that cost so Amazon pricing is out somewhere - can't see them getting that much of a discount direct from DeWalt and then DeWalt letting them crash the price.
 
Did see it after I posted and thought I am having too many senior moments so won't reply again. - Need my rusks. :confused:
 
Anyone got the Dewalt Flexivolt 54v gear? Looks really interesting, pretty much got to the stage where a cordless tool can be as powerful as a corded i think. The 190mm circular saw has caught my eye, looks like an awesome bit of kit. I have been wanting a cordless circ saw for ages, but was worried how an 18v saw would handle oak worktops etc, but from what I have read the new flexivolt version should cut them with ease. They also do a cordless tablesaw! Its very expensive at the moment though, but then again it comes with 2 x 6AH batteries, which you can also use in you normal 18v gear.
 
I think you should buy one (mainly because I'm looking at some oak worktop I need to cut and you look to be quite local!)
 
Don't chippies etc use routers to cut a worktop rather than circular saw? The main use I can see for circular saw is cutting open floorboards
 
Yeah I think so but I only have a 1/4 router so not sure how it'd fair on solid oak. Maybe suitable with enough passes just bit by bit.

It's for a desk worktop and she wants it a bit curved to fit in a corner which could be tricky, she doesn't like square L shaped styles. I'm wondering if I should get quite a few lengths of 2"x2" and glue them together (possible with threaded rods for support which I have in stock) roughly in the shape. Once sanded and oiled I think it'd look quite good without cutting 900mm oak and discarding a lot of it.
