Thanks for the comprehensive answer, I'll also probably also continue to go with Metabo corded unless I start to notice a drop in quality which you highlighted may happen.
 
It's interesting that you compare Makita and Ryobi.. It must be that ryobi have improved in recent years without my noticing.. as may a lot of brands, Milwaukee is another that I've looked at but not used, there are just so many choices that I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and take a chance when it comes to renewing my cordless kit,  cheers.

My friend runs ryobi tools and I run makita. In my experience the makita outlast and outwork the ryobi. I wouldn't touch it.

That's been my experience but from quite a number of years ago.

For you're cordless gear or both ?  Can you compare it to Makita ?

 

Being German it may be on a par with Metabo.

Mainly cordless but i rate them very highly. The impact driver is on par if not better than my Milwaukee

I agree that makita will outlast ryobi, and I would never use my ryobi stuff where I use my metabo stuff. But, in the workshop, where I might just be screwing some shelves together, then the ryobi is quite adequate. Milwaukee is easily on par with makita.

No action here this year?
 

I got two Christmas lunches and two boxes of ancillary turkey.

Forgot about this in the mayhem of presents and cooking! Usual socks and slippers but also got a torque wrench for my bike and some tickets to see a singer I've always wanted to see and who hardly ever tours so chuffed with that.

 

Best part of the day was watching girls open theirs and having lunch with parents. Hope everyone had a decent day!!

Makita Coffee machine (cordless jobby). Fleeces for work. 👍

Mitre saw and stand. Only a cheap one, but meets my needs. Also some lego technic and some sorting/storage trays to keep my ever growing collection in.

Phone call on Friday  off an old friend of 51 years, ex RN clearance diver,  telling me that after chemo and radio therapy, that he's now in remission from lung cancer. We had a good natter and raising of glasses.

I had cancelled my Christmas as I was due to have an op a few days ago.

Then the nurses went on strike so I reinstated Christmas and had family round for lunch.

Ginormous turkey and all the trimmings and we were all stuffed!

4 generations of the family sat around the table, that was my best present and I hope we are all here again in a years time.
