You might even have to change the color of the Halfback to red.

May have to get a tool belt and a special bag to carry it in.

Even better! I saw a video today of someone calling it a drill purse and I just can’t get that out of my head, lol.

they’re much like a birkin in that it’s too heavy on its own and hasn’t got a shoulder strap

Good points. Except now I’m thinking about how to make a real drill purse. 🤔

i'm gonna be honest my decision wasn't based on much either. i think it was mostly because i've heard some positive stuff about makita + their website had exploded views of the machines with part numbers readily available

oh yeah, that is nice to have. tbh if i were doing anything more serious than the occasional furniture assembly job and small holes in the wall for cables, i’d have gone that way lol

actually there’s a great benefit to not having bought makita. i won’t be tempted to buy their coffee machine or electric kettle.

i will admit that whole category is always there on the website, beckoning to me. you kinda get used to it tbh lately i've been eyeing the chainsaws. i don't really need one in the long run. but i have some chunks of tree i want to make small, and chainsaws are cool

in general i'm amazed at the kinds of things that can be battery powered nowadays tool-wise and how powerful they seem to be. doesn't feel like that long ago that like, electric cordless chainsaws and lawnmowers were gonna be pretty amateur hour
