Makita Power Tools 40 Year in the UK

Makita Power Tools UK 40th Anniversary

As part of the 40 year celebrations Makita power tools have launched a range of powerMakita Power Tools 40th

tools to commemorate the occasion. As you would expect from Makita the range encompasses the high quality, and robust durability that we have come to associate with this brand.

The range includes the Anniversary Angle grinder, Rotary Hammer, Biscuit jointer, plus a selection of other power tools like the Anniversary Combi Drill. Makita are still managing to launch new products outside of the anniversary range as well, which is testimony to the depth and diversity of this great tool manufacturing company. A firm favourite in the construction industry is the hand held power multi tool. The beauty of the multi tool is the flexibility. What are multi tools? They are as they sound a tool with more than one use. How is this achieved? Well these incredible tools have staggering flexibility due to a variety of different attachments. So the basic multi power tool comes with several different custom tool attachments giving amazing value for money. Attachments include saws, grinders, and polishers. So the idea you buy the one main power tool, and then simply buy the attachment that you need, for the job you need.

There are a variety of multi tools to choose from with varying power sizes being available really depending on the types of job you are looking to undertake. However true to form which ever power tools you choose you will not be disappointed. Attachments are swopped easily and quickly, with the minimum of fuss, an important consideration when time is at a premium.

The ability to be able to swop between sawing and then grinding or polishing in seconds causes minimum disruption to the work flow. The professionals in the trade have been able to maximise work time using these multi tools.

Accessories are not left out of the celebrations either. Celebrating with a 40 piece HSS drill bits, all contained in a sturdy carry case.

Not limited to just HSS drill bits the 40th anniversary range come with a complete range of drill bits including masonry drill bits, and a range of wood drill bits. All containing the mandatory 40 drill bits, and all in a superb carry case, ensuring that drill bits are protected and give years of service.

The 40th anniversary celebration could have served as no more than a fancy PR stunt, but true to form Makita have come up with the goods. Manufacturing a new unique range of high quality power tools that not only serve as a lasting memory of this company’s rich history, but also provide a lasting legacy to those who purchase from this celebratory range of tools. So all in all again we salute Makita on a superb range of drills, saws, polishers, and multi tools. We congratulate them on producing another excellent addition to the Makita Power tool range. Here is to the next 40 years.

Certainly the anniversary collection of power tools are very popular.

Robot Lawn Mower

(Credit: Bosch)

Why waste your summer cutting grass yourself? Get a machine to do it. Robot lawn mowers are nothing new, but Bosch is introducing one that's apparently more automated than competitors.

The Bosch Indego is an electric, autonomous mower that can cut up to 10,700 square feet of grass with little supervision, according to IEEE Spectrum.

All you need to do is install a guide wire on the edge of your lawn to keep the Indego in. It will automatically skirt all obstacles on your lawn including your pink flamingos, croquet mallets, and flower beds.

It apparently uses its charger as a beacon and navigation guide as it cuts the lawn, moving in straight lines where possible instead of a random pattern.

The droid can operate for up to 20 minutes per full charge, and then needs to juice itself for 90 minutes before it resumes work.

Although it may be released in Scandinavia for some $2,000, it would be cheaper to operate than a gas-powered mower, and better for the environment.

Check it out in the promo vid below.


Not sure how to teach it to put the clippings on the compost heap :)

Panasonic Power Tools Tough Tools Built To Last

Panasonic Power Tools are one of the leading brands of cordless tools.Panasonic IP Range of Power Tools
Their IP (intelligent power) range of tools is one of the best there is at surviving the job site environment.
Panasonic is renowned for developing intelligent Power Tools to fill all the needs required by today’s professional user. All tools are developed to be a compact size with amazing performance. Panasonic’s Tough Tool IP range have been developed to offer a new level of toughness in the form of resistance to dust and water as recognized under international standards administered by the International Electro technical Commission (IEC).
http://www.panasonic.co.uk/
They go on to describe their battery technology
Leading battery technology – The basis for our revolutionary performance are our Battery Packs which feature many unique developments such as Panasonic Solid Solution technology (PSS), a method in hardening and dissolving key battery component substances such as cobalt and nickel. This dramatically improves the safety and reliability while also achieving greater performance compared to manganese lithium batteries used by many of other manufacturers. Cobalt lithium chemistry benefits from a lower internal resistance, electrical loss, and heat in battery cells. This helps prolong the service life by reducing overheating. Tough Tools IP battery packs individually monitor each battery cell to ensure optimal control. Battery damage is avoided by preventing overcharging, over discharging and overheating.
Panasonic offer cordless power tools with battery voltages of 3.6v through to 28.8v.
The full range of IP Power tools is well presented on their UK website and a fuller description of the IP range is given here
Many forget about Panasonic Power Tools so be reminded that they are a great provider of quality robust power tools.
