Makita 18V Cordless System

There is some support for the lab to start purchasing good quality cordless tools. Makita seems the most popular option, with a single system being desirable for sharing of batteries. These purchases will be postponed until we have suitable secure storage.

2x 5.0Ah batteries and dual charger £150
DHP481 combi drill (powerful) £149
DHP484 DHP485 DDF484 DDF485 drill (lighter) £90-100
DTD154 impact driver £134
DJV181 jigsaw £170
DHS680 circular saw £149
DTM51 oscillating multi-tool £105

Running total: £957

Drills:

  • RMJ suffix = with battery
  • Z suffix = tool body only
  • DDF = drill drivers (no hammer mode)
  • DHP = combi drill (with hammer mode)
  • DHP481 (heavy and powerful model, Tim K has one)
  • DHP484 (intermediate model) replaces DHP480
  • DHP485 (intermediate model) replaces DHP459
  • DHP484 is slightly heavier and stronger than DHP485, but not by much

Air compressor

  • Big enough to serve multiple users in multiple rooms
  • Quiet enough for the workshop, or able to be boxed-in with acoustic panels
  • Air lines to other rooms

Workshop

  • Better bandsaw, probably Startrite
  • Planer-thicknesser-jointer
