Cheers mate, appreciated
Which power-tool brand?
Come on, then. What else you got?
Pretty much everything Makita, except for chippy saw tools as I don’t really work with wood. I’ll try and get a group shot when everything is sorted, there’s a pile of unsorted tools in my garage except for the frequently used stuff which is in a slightly tidier messy pile.
I pretty much retired last year, but this gadget was handy - 9 of the best Coffee Pods for Makita DCM501 Cordless Coffee Machines
i need to get a pic of #TeamBlue corporate clothing from our side =]

Sadly DeWalt laces aren't quite so butch and my left boot lace has snapped twice now and got so stressed out that it has developed a premature bald spot.
Very tidy setup!
More love for #dewalt footwear..

Milwaukee stuff is great, wasn’t really a common brand when I started out but has become very popular and has a good rep.
DEWALT , DEWALT , DEWALT..............as Kirsty would say ! I've been using Dewalt for almost twenty years now in the "Building game " can't rate it enough.
Bought a chopsaw over 15 yrs aqo and it's still going strong ,cuts perfectly !
Recently purchased a cordless brush cutter,better than a petrol IMO.

Decided to have a #Team_Red day. . . . . .
Then decided to play bob the builder in the new Dewalt rigger boots.

So the Big Boys are the USA vs Japan vs Germany.
kind of makes sense really as Japan was alway known as one of the best for electrical devices back in the day ( take Honda generators for example) and Germany know as one of the best for Mechanical pruduction (take VAG group cars as example) - The curve ball is the USA who had enormous production might in WW2 but had never been known for top quality production. - It looks like the USA may be creeping ahead in the race with Dewalt and Milwaukee continuously innovating and bringing a constant flow of new kit and upgrades.
i think Makita needs to pick up the pace a bit if they want to stay in race looking forwards to the next 5-10 years.

Tools update, of a sort. I prefer safety trainers onsite, as they're a bit lighter than boots or shoes. I've been through most of the footwear brands in this thread. I find they're all much of a muchness, but I did tend on the cheaper side. I bought a pair of the new Puma safety trainers from Screwfix, and they are by far the most comfortable ones I've tried.
Dearest ones I've ever bought, £80, but after a month in them, they're very comfy, not too big and don't make your feet sweat too much.

Why is it safety footwear seems oversize, and PPE undersized !?? I'm a generous size 10, so wear 10 1/2 or 11 in normal footwear. Always get a size 10 in safety shoes which fit perfectly. PPE on the other hand, I'm a modest 34 waist (really), but always need 36 or 37 trousers.
Oh, I bought a multi tool too. Never really seen the need for one before, but have found it comes in very handy indeed. Just need to get the right blades now I think. It came with a starter pack which I've dulled.
