Title: 9" grinder
Post by: Shackeng on 08 August 2010, 18:42:50
Got a 9" grinder yesterday from Screwfix, made by Makita, but labelled 'Site', £29.99 on special offer. http://www.screwfix.com/prods/91103/Power-Tools/Grinders/Site-230mm-Grinder-240V

Gotta be good value for DIY

Tracked the make down using the RedLaser App on the iphone to scan the barcode. Brilliant App.

I work for screwfix and all of the Site equipment is on offer at silly prices at the moment.It's all Makita stuff but has red plastic rather than blue for the body housing.For example Cordless drill/driver with 3 batteries, charger and case is now down to under £60 and the Makita batteries also fit the charger and drill.Bargain! There is a cordless drill without driver for under £50 and also includes 3 batteries,hard case and charger.

Nice one, I only thought I would give this one a boost, but you managed a real promo! ;D ;D ;D

My grinder has had a workout today.

Decided there was a section of bellhousing on the Westfield that served only as a speed bump detector, so off it came. ::)

It was a £7.49 from Macro job IIRC.

Ahh yes, but was it a 9" tool?
