Not sure what the monetary units are but it looks like the list price is more than 4k ! From trying to find a price it would seem that it's being marketed for rental.. the new normal ? And then you could buy this for 6k.Quid. Jeez..

Personally I've nothing against battery tools, I really like my Stihl msa and various other cordless toys but I think we're probably at least a couple of generations of battery technology away from them being any good for large powerful tools. ' Aye, it's brilliant, it's battery powered... but a cannae lift it ! ' 😁

My thoughts as well All my stuff is Stihl also but the K770 seems to get a lot of 5 star reviews.

Been one of my favourites since I was at school.

Yep, a few years back I put a magnet in my pocket and was surprised to find that most of my change stuck to it.. I guess where there's muck there's no longer brass🙄

Was just thinking that your name can nearly be rearranged to say Oily😁👍 apologies in advance.

Mine was blue and cream, got it at a jumble sale.. had to balance a penny on it to stop it skipping👍 them were the days.

Not cheap either, I used to have a Dansette 😁 Rega Planar 10 Turntable DOUGBRADYHIFI.COM The Planar 10 can benefit from expert set up which if you visit our store we will happily do for you. If required we may also...

I grew up near to Linn and knew a couple of guys from my school class ended up working there, even back then the stuff was extortionate. One of the guy's used to boast that he had a 30k stereo, the funny thing was that al he ever listened to was Punk😄

Well I Thought this was good, and all the best for the coming year.

Hi, I had one of these probably nearly 50 years ago, if i remember it was Black and Decker and had a crumb foam drum, but I'm particularly interested in trying the nylon brush idea to clean / burnish the edges on some gnarly boards I have👍

Me too, pretty sure they do online sales.

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.

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.

While I appreciate what you're trying to do I think that those who can see what's going on don't need to watch 3 hours of anything.... and those who can't won't watch anyway. I by no means want to be negative but I think that the die has been cast and it's time to prepare for a very uncertain future... unfortunately For the whole of the evolution of life on this blue petri dish in space life has evolved according to a code that has 4 base pairs that link up in an almost infinite number of possible variations creating the diversity of life on this planet. It would seem that only in recent years since around the late 1940's an alternative system has come to the fore which pays no credence to everything that has gone before in the countless previous millennia. I'd suggest that the organic code, dna with it's 4 bases A , T , C , and G from which all life here derives from and which ' scientists ' absolutely have very little understanding of at this early point in research, is under attack from the attempted digitisation of natures fractals and complications and the attempt to try to describe all of this in 1's and zero 's may go totally against everything that has gone before in the entire history of the planet as far as we know. So it's kind of the whole of the 4.5 B years of evolution balanced against the 70 ish years since we were graced with the 'present' of digital info which has allowed the accelerated destruction of all things natural by all who can exploit natural resources for profit, namely governments. No doubt the huge carrot of greed has enabled blindness and stupidity which seems to have gripped the attention of the masses and while they stare into their little screens it seems that it's been a successful enterprise.. they are lost . so who the feck am I.. not one of them for sure 👍

For you're cordless gear or both ? Can you compare it to Makita ? Being German it may be on a par with Metabo.

Me too 👍

The cordless stuff is very reliable. They're not as comfortable in the hand as say makita, but they are built like a tank, used and abused in all weather , dropped, bashed, you name it and they just keep going. The weak point is the batteries, for some reason they just don't seem to last. You may have just answered the question I was going to ask you, my aging Makita old red battery stuff is needing replaced and I was / am thinking of metabo but I'll need to do a bit of research.... with Makita I've gone through 2 lots of 2 batteries in 14 years, the 2nd being aftermarket which I can't complain about. [ only cordless drills ] So in your opinion [ and I know it's an impossible question ] how much less do you think the batteries last and if just comparing the tools, longevity / robustness / power of motor, which would you rate highest.. and or any other recommendations ? It's a big decision as you know, once you go down a route with a particular battery then all your tools follow. For much of my stuff I've remained corded simply so that I have the power I need, cheers.

Yep, while I do work with wood it's generally only for myself so I can't really justify the absolute top of the range makes although I do use corded Dewalt grinders as I do a lot of stonework and they're a cut above anything else I've used. I found Metabo probably 7 years ago with their thicknesser planer which at the time was a toss up between them and Scheppach and I don't regret my choice, and as things need replaced they've be come my go to brand.

I have that exact same model. Are you happy with it, I find there stuff fairly solid well designed and mid priced compared to Dewalt etc. I recently bought one of their hammer drills which I'm also pleased with so it's the table saw next👍

Excellent link, I particularly enjoyed the video of Robin making the George Lailey commemorative set of bowls using the traditional method, thanks for sharing.

I have a small cabin and this is how I transfer heat from the living space to the bedroom. 👍 Like I said the I just happened to have watched the vid 10 mins before the OP posted and although it's a bit ' McIver ' as they say over there it used to be common here to circulate warm air for heating albeit without creating a fire risk, one of my friends still has the vents in his floors.

Yep, it ain't pretty but was just food for thought.
