Gem of a thing, it’s knocked in over a thousand posts now and still going strong. That Milwaukee fencing stapler is also very good, that’s had about four thousand staples go through it. Trouble is I have now had a taste of red

I've a couple of milwaukee tools and my mate has a big milwaukee nut gun and we both have the same problem - the battery securing system wears out and then the battery gets loose and you keep losing contact.

Just think of the cost of buying enough charger units to charge that lot, plus all the extention leads needed. At least you can wrap all the leads together and have a free electric fire to warm your hands n feet over....
It's just quicker n easier to pull in and fill a diesel tank......
......and probably does less damage to the enviroment than obtaining all the rare earth elements to make the batteries.

The red things are very very dangerous to the wallet.Gem of a thing, it’s knocked in over a thousand posts now and still going strong. That Milwaukee fencing stapler is also very good, that’s had about four thousand staples go through it. Trouble is I have now had a taste of red

Might have to get me one of those posts knockers, will a 61 1/2 year old be able to handle it?
Do Makita make a trolley to move it all?

I had a road trip to put this thiel on a pallet and reduce the weight a bit whilst there. I couldnt find a definitive weight for it but it looks a tadge more than a tonne to me. A guy on youtube has a manual which says 1100kg but I reckon its way more. I could barely lift the vice and the table needed a fork lift so hopefully reduced its weight a decent amount .
I'm surprised there wasnt more competition when bidding on it. Assuming the courier gods are in my favour, they do like the odd handwheel sacrifice. It will be delivered on monday.

Tested 2024.
When were they commissioned?
They only have a 5 year service life.
The CO2 is 10 years.

Why only a 5 year service life? Seems a tad throw away society.

How strange. I picked some up yesterday. They were very old and decommissioned, I cut the tops off and use them for storing metal in.
Wifey wanted a stainless one, that became a novelty plant pot.

Thats not so bad, though they were scrapped. Though suspect itll be almost as cheaper too replace rather than service refill etc.
