Haha I get aching hands using plunge saw routers etc let alone hand drills! I could do with that Hilti drill as I have a scar on my wrist from a chop saw and if a drill snatches, it pulls the scar tissue and bloody hurts 😂 The hilti jigsaw looks pretty good and interested to see how it compares to the mafell P1CC.

My Ryobi One 18v impact driver is 13 years old and has done a LOT of work. I bought it to do one job repositioning the attic trusses wrongly installed on my extension but it’s lasted through more projects than I can remember. Best tool I ever bought.

Ryobi, like Beretta's, the old one's are the best, had mine for 17 years now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconded, I've had an 18V one which is now about 6 years old and has been used to renovate 2 houses. Even now the battery lasts absolutely ages and its been up to pretty much every job I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking to my mate last night, a Hilti rep and he said they've had this for a while, i thought it was clever and new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
