Kirkland Laing's power tool reviews thread

[Kirkland Laing]

Does a proper man bother with a power screwdriver? Personally, I use my trusty cordless drill for all hole making and filling tasks. Invariably after you're done drilling you're going to want to do a bit of screwing so why take two bottles into the shower when one will do?


I don't actually take power tools into the shower, that would be reckless. If I did though I would wear the appropriate PPE. Hard hat, gloves, goggles, thong.


I cant wait until this moves onto chop saws. To laser or not to laser?

An impact driver isn't just for driving screws, it's a whole lot more than that mate. You van put an eight inch M10 bolt straight into a railway sleeper with one. And if you've got a bunch of screws that refuse to come out of something they're out in seconds with your impact driver. You can drive your nuts all day with one. And if you're putting hundreds of screws into something it's a whole lot more easy to work with than a cordless drill. The kind of tool every manly man needs in his workshop.

And you actually need a twin laser on your chopsaw. Lasers are manly, but twin lasers are double manly. And they should be powered via the mains too, not those silly ones where you have to put little batteries in.
