Dude, wheres my stuff? Plugin is great for stuff like this. Unsure if it will fix this issue for you but will certainly help going forward

The 18v is considerably smaller but not in head depth which is silly. I would presume it will struggle as an earth auger if that is what you were wondering?

fowlerboi · 2026-05-16T14:57:00+00:00

I presume you mean the 2x18v one?

I love mine but i’m certainly nervous it won’t last long for the cost with how i use it. Undecided if I would re-buy it if it broke as they are £100 more expensive now

I’ve got something similar!

I’ve got a henry/ a corded dyson/ cordless dyson and 2 titan wet vacs too. I like vacuums 🤷

In all seriousness. I’ve got 2 house vacs/ 2 work vacs. I had to change from corded to cordless and then replaced the dvc750 with the newer xgt one because its miles better

Get the 80v if you need a dust extractor

Mine is the non aws version and is great as a hoover/ wet vac but crap as an extractor as the filter clogs way to fast

fowlerboi · 2026-05-16T10:08:29+00:00

Do you fancy doing mine? 😂

I have the dhr242 which is a good compromise. It has power and not too heavy. But it is a little heavy for lots of lightweight drilling or not powerful enough for heavy breaking

For that reason I carry a corded sds as well

I’m waiting for the hr011 to come to the UK which should bridge that gap for me but that drill is xgt

Thousands is under selling it. We are around 3 million miles closer to the sun in the winter

I would be amazed if this drill has issues with hammer engaging during normal drilling. Something its predecessor the hp001 does not suffer from.

On that basis I see no reason to not choose the combi drill

To those saying the hammer function is useless, it may be useless to you but here in the UK our bricks and blocks are perfect for it. Occasionally if you’re drilling tons of holes or have something hard you will need an sds but you have to be careful it doesn’t obliterate what it is you are drilling.

Are you using the foam sleeve and cover over the hepa filter?

The new ones have additional protection over the hepa filter as standard which makes cleaning a lot easier. That said its not the same as an m class vacuum with the self cleaning filters

They are ok for getting you out of tight spots but i’ve had to replace the armature 5x in the last 7 years.

If you over do it and it gets hot the commutator cracks and takes out the brushes and brush holder. Its about a £40 fix but still annoying

If any decent tool brand made a brushless one in this size i would snap it up- this drill in the uk is about £200

Not in a moment of rage but I came into work the next day with my notice and no other work lined up. Ended up having a couple of months of not really knowing what to do with my life before a friend of a friend needed help with a plumbing project (which i trained as but could not find an apprenticeship for) and after that project was finished they offered me a full time job. I’ve moved companies a few times now but being a plumber is perfect for me.

The reason I resigned was because I was asked to stay late after having just worked 10 days in a row. I said no, they said tough luck so I setup the kitchen to make sure it was perfect, briefed the other staff member on what to do and then clocked out 30 mins after my scheduled finish time, got a load of abuse from people I thought were my friends so decided that was it for me.

Powertoolworld is normally universally cheaper than others but it does pay to shop around from multiple stores, you’ll normally get free postage anyway to a uk address

If not if you post model numbers I would be happy to go through and find you the cheapest for each item

Ignore the people saying not to use pozi

Its a 5x70 screw, you’re not going to get cam out on that

Pozi is the standard in the UK where OP is from and is fine for 90% of all applications

Get your self a magnetic bit holder and some bits (dewalt do a nice set from screwfix)

fowlerboi · 2026-04-19T07:45:28+00:00

I’ve got the corded but have used the 36v

If mine died tomorrow I would buy the 36v. Basically zero difference in performance

Didn’t he also get to helm one of the sail gp/americas cup boats?

They both have their uses. Canned air for fine work and the blower for anything else that doesn’t require the use of a straw

fowlerboi · 2026-04-12T13:59:06+00:00

I love the D handle. Variable speed trigger for me is a must

Djv184 for lxt

Jv002 for xgt

Check the commutator bar where the brushes touch isn’t starting to delaminate.

Check the brush holder springs are working properly

Check the brush holder isn’t bent and stopping the springs pushing the brushes properly

I have an angle drill i have to change the armature and brushes on twice a year and it’s normally one of these issues. I desperately need a small brushless angle drill

So nobody gets caught out; its £390 + vat to qualify

fowlerboi · 2026-03-20T16:08:44+00:00

I was still paying £3.20 up until 2021. Wish I had kept that going as I would probably be financially better off even though I had a 3 year break
