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. Purchases have started where there were good price opportunities.

Purchased already:

Tool
Dual charger
4x 5.0Ah batteries
DJV181Z jigsaw
DTD154Z impact driver
DGA517 angle grinder
DHS680 circular saw
DCL180Z vacuum

Wanted, in approximate priority order…

Tool Cost Notes
DHP481 combi drill (powerful) £159
DTM51 oscillating multi-tool £105
DHP484 DHP485 DDF484 DDF485 drill (lighter) £90-100 We have two regular drills already

Other suggestions: die grinder, router/trimmer, planer.

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

Impact Bit Sets:

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
