Lotoxane® Fast | Arrow

A faster drying Lotoxane® variant which evaporates three times faster than standard Lotoxane®

We used to use that in the parts washer at work. Fabulous stuff and lasts for ages. We used to take it out of the tank, filter it and return it to the washed out tank.
I managed to liberate a 20l drum when the factory closed down and still have a bit left.

Yesterday. A Monument brass plumb bob, & 24 deep reach multitool blades, (12 wood, 12 metal), from AliExpress.

A milwaukee compact brushless 12v drill driver, body only. I wanted something light and compact with a chuck. It was on offer at Anglia Tool centre, now gone back up again.

Then a couple of locking impact bit holders extensions, and an 8 quid dewalt bit set to get me over the free postage threshold.

Could you weight the driver and a small 2ah battery for me?
I'll need a new one for work but need it as light as possible.
Thanks.

I forgot to say that it is approved for cleaning circuit boards too.

I'm able to be friends with lots of folk seeing that I regularly use Hitachi, Makita, Parkside plus old Bosch stuff.
The Bosch is used with an adapter for Makita batteries.
Are you still my friend?
