Surprisingly the HQ of Makita Hungary is in Székesfehérvár, instead of the capitol, Budapest. So when I registered for the battery redemption promo, they called me to ask, since I live in the city why don't I pop into the HQ and they give me the battery in person, instead of shipping it in 3-5 days. So I did. This is the weirdest support your local dealer situation.

seldom used but one of my favorite power tools hacks. a pleasure each time.

as battery power tools I have Makita. but RYOBI hat this brilliant battery Schuko booster/inverter. so with a "batdapter" (available from/to pretty much any large brands) I get a 150W Makita outlet.
and can use it with light green Bosch tools.

a power outlet pretty much anywhere.

Power Tools Got Worse on Purpose. Who Owns DeWalt, Craftsman, and Milwaukee?

Oh my dog, this is hilarious. I visited a store selling 18V Bosch cordless tools.

Bosch 18 V 2.5 Ah battery / €69

Compatible All Alliance 18 V 2.5 Ah battery / €39

Out of curiosity and out of my general cheapness I went with a compatible one.

Little did I know that when opening the generic brand package I would end up holding a Bosch branded 2.5 Ah battery. 🤓

There might be somekind of warranty/registering differences*, but basicly the branded Bosch cardboard package is evidently worth 30 euros. Oh my word, I need a drink or at least a Dr Pepper.

*I care too little to look into it.

If I ever win big on the lottery I don't care what house I buy. I want a big #workshop. Several big workshops actually. One for #woodwork. One for #metalwork , maybe even a small #forge. A #carlift in a #garage. A #sanding / finishing area for the wood and a #painting / #spraying area too. A big area for stock materials of all kinds too.

All with lots of handy dandy storage for #tools and consumables. Everything from a big #tablesaw to a box of panel pins. Everything in it's place, exactly where it should be.

All the tools would be top quality. As many #powertools as possible would run off compressed air. Does anyone make an air powered #router? Plus battery ones of everything for outdoors. Dust and fume extraction everywhere of course. Compress all the dust into #logs to burn in a stove to keep the place warm

Currently every single time I try to do any #diy I have to clamber into the loft, go to my shed on my allotment or buy stuff that I know I have somewhere but that I can't find right now. I am fed up of it all.

I don't know exactly what I would actually do in my workshop. It's more that I could do anything I wanted with minimal fuss.

Tried to figure out yesterday how to split a 2x4 in half lengthwise without a table saw.

Turns out that my circular saw rip sled goes down to very small dimensions!

Worked perfectly. 🪚
