    Apart from your site radio, what's your favorite power tool? Mine is the SDS drill. I'm sure that any other oldies out there can remember using a Rawlplug "jumper" & a lump hammer to make holes in concrete to fit plugs. Many years ago, when installing a flight simulator, it took me about 3 days to fix brackets for the pipe runs,now 1/2 day max. I love my SDS. :)

    Has to be my Bosch multi tool so versatile, but my sds drill is a close second.

    Rarely use the SDS since I got 18V Makita L ion but the TS55 is superb and the Fein Multimaster can get you out of the **** in so many ways.

    I have many favourites. However, the one that makes me glad I have it is my 18v impact driver - long screws, coach bolts they all go in effortless.
     
  8. Fein Multimaster, 24v Dewalt sds drill. Makita 7.2v impact driver, Makita core drill, most used and would not be with out.

    With what I am doing at the moment the Fein Multi Master gets me out of the doodoo so easily so many times I've started singing to it. "Buzzy saw, buzzy saw, I love you, yes I do" :):)

    The TS 55 was a game changer but then we got a cnc router and the game changed again.

    The most invaluable tool on the van is the Fein Multi Tool, no matter what job you are doing you can have some use for it,, (apart from hitting nails in)
