    My theory is two handed tools should be corded but one handed is fine on cordless. Do you recommend their angle grinder?

    The Makita 6100 chainsaw is definitely a two handed tool haha. Ive been processing firewood for 20 years and that chainsaw scares me a bit. Almost too much power for a tool like that!
    A 30 inch round 100 ft tall Douglas Fir is no challenge at all for that saw and it does it with a smile.
    It sucks more gas than any saw ive had but its obvious why. I love Makita tools and they did really good buying the Dorman company.

    I have several Milwakee brand cordless grinders and they do get used commercially. I would recommend them.

    I've done some serious "chopping" up of steel plate and pipe using the grinder..... also loads of masonry bricks. Other than batteries going flat with hours of work, I can't fault it.

    Inspired by @JohnnyBravo300's mace, and in need of a routine to develop shoulder strength and range of movement I bought the beginner's 4kg version to work on this style of movement.

    Ordered a polishing past,
    But I'm rough on my watches, so might just keep it as is.

    I got this 1990 KF TX3 laser yesterday. Sadly it's not the turbo 4x4 varient, but amazingly it only has 130k on the clock.
