Just some of the tools I use in my bathroom renovation business.
First is the bosch GBH 8-45 DV a great rotary hammer drill. Drills 45mm holes through concrete block in seconds, and amazing chipping! Stunning tool.
Next is the bosch GBH 2-28 DFV another rotary hammer drill. Great for removing wall and floor tiles and cutting tracks for pipes and cables in solid walls.
Next bosch 10.8v monster kit including multitool, sabre saw, combi drill driver-not shown- being used ! radio and LED torch, use these tools daily
Next is the bosch 18v twin pack impact driver- I believe best on the market , and the combi drill driver
Bosch again with the GLL 2-50 laser level
Another bosch lol this time the GHO 25-82 planer
Makita yes makita plunge saw with guide rails, great for cutting sheet material
And I’ll finish with a few accessories in the bosch l-boxx
I have a lot more tools and will put more pics up when I get time to take more pics lol
Would love to here what u guys in the US think of these tools and what alternatives u might use over there
Cheers
Must b a bad title to this post! Lol
Hey Baza, I love my l boxxes and my Systainers but am curious how the Makita modular unit is? Is it made by Tanos, it looks like the older Systainer.
Hi Chris not sure who makes the makita box. It’s the only makita tool I have that’s in that type of box so not sure how they stack. Great robust box though
Thanks Baza! Looks like your l boxxes are getting pretty abused and still hanging in there!
L boxxs are great had them well over a year now and yes they get a lot of abuse and they are still perfect no bother with hinges or latches! All my bosch tools take quite a hammering and they never miss a beat! What power tools do u use Chris?
Well….I love Bosch but all I have right now is a power planer and the PB360. I have a bunch of Milwaukee M12 cutting tools and a Milwaukee router. Ridgid miter saw (selling on CL….want to get the new Bosch Axial Glide). I have a Makita Hypoid saw. Then pretty much switched everything else to Festool. Mostly everything is Festool and Milwaukee. Oh and I have a bunch of l boxxes and love them but I am a DIY type and burgeoning wood worker. Seeing those l boxxes being used hard by a pro makes me happy I bought them.
Liken the L Boxxs. The assorted piece container looks very functional. Very nice. I still can’t decide which system I want to invest in. Seems like the TStaks and the L Boxxs are the best.
Hi Chris, yes the bosch axial glide is on my wish list too! Hi Matthew can’t really comment on the TStaks as can’t get them over here. But I can’t complain about the l-box they have served me very well.
Like Baza, no complaints and no experience with the Tstaks. I will say I have three of the l boxx 1a’s with the tray inserts. I gave one to my fiancé for her stamping up supplies. I have one with lag fasteners and another for my Kreg screws. I have two l boxx 1 and 1 l boxx 2. I am going to get some foam inserts and keep all of my M12 tools in one. They are great boxes.
