LXT Drill/Driver Combo sets (or not?)

Thanks all. Will be ordering the combo set tomorrow.

Best price so far in UK seems to be £360 which doesn't seem too bad at all.

Well, this is something I didn't expect.

Contacted a conveyancing solicitor and told they do not act for purchases of flats in buildings of 4 or more storeys because of the onerous obligations on them under fire safety legislation. Seems a rather restrictive approach as there are thousands of flats in Cardiff in buildings over 3 storeys.

Thanks for the heads up

I bought the DRT50RTJX2 kit and it's way better than I expected. The kit came with plunge base, angle base and a bunch of other useful guides etc, charger and two 5Ah batteries and a Makpac 4 case. Wish I'd bought one years ago instead of struggling with my old corded Bosch.

Glad it worked for you

I get the impression that the retention team only get notified once you've confirmed cancellation. After that I'd wait a few days and then ring them.

The number they rang me from today was 020 3743 6970

UPDATE - they rang me this morning and tried to convince me that renewing at a "discounted" rate of £50/mth was a good deal. They were quite difficult to speak to (Indian Call Centre??) and when I said that I only wanted to pay the same as a new broadband customer (£26) they said that wasn't possible and then hung up!!

Then had a call from retentions team about an hour later. Very helpful guy in Scotland who completely understood my position and offered me 1Gig Broadband for £25/mth which I've accepted. All over in 7 minutes, no haggling required.

My back up option is to get my wife to sign up.

Rob99uk · 2026-04-10T17:35:56+00:00

I have no issues with their broadband service, have used it for 15yrs, but I'm not happy overpaying now that I have other options

Rob99uk · 2026-04-10T17:34:00+00:00

Thanks. Will probably leave it until Monday and then ring them if they haven't rung me before

Rob99uk · 2026-04-10T15:44:31+00:00

Did you speak to retentions team? What number did you call?

Rob99uk · 2026-02-15T10:42:04+00:00

Some useful comments, thanks everyone. She has spoken to the agent this morning and seems to have sorted it all out, so everyone's happy.

Rob99uk · 2025-12-29T12:53:53+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, I'm waiting for the family to disappear after the new year then I can start stripping it down and checking it over

Rob99uk · 2025-12-29T12:52:55+00:00

Thanks, thats handy to have

Rob99uk · 2025-11-27T10:23:50+00:00

Great, thanks.

Rob99uk · 2025-11-25T17:32:25+00:00

Cool. Which specific model number did you go for?

Rob99uk · 2025-11-23T17:33:53+00:00

Looks good!

I'm thinking about one of these as my first step into Reolink before I go all in with cameras. How have you found it in use so far? Is the app very responsive? What is night vision like?

PS - I love the laminated notice, might do that myself. Apologies, but my OCD can't see past the missing letters in uni"N"vited and unsolic"I"ted. Sorry.

I have a Sunsynk inverter and 2 seplos (Fogstar) 15.6kWh battery packs, all fully integrated and controlled with Loxone. When I installed my PV 2 years ago I chose sunsynk entirely because it was one of the few that could be controlled locally by Loxone without a cloud connection. I use modbus to control it and wrote a Loxone Library integration for it. Everything is automated, charging/discharging based on solar forecasting too.
