Interesting, I didnt know the batteries were compatible.
I have a few Ingco tools, they do the job just fine and the range is expanding pretty quickly.

I'll start buying tools again when I have a house with a garage again. Miss carpentry. Had a couple of battery tools, but because I couldn't use them mutch the batteries don't last. So now I just buy cabled stuff

Well, I am looking for a "good" planer (not a hand planer) . But was hoping to find something that doesn't cost 10K.
Something like this:

Takealot are well known for dodgy stuff like this, if enough people view an item then the price automatically goes up.
It was proven in another thread around UPS's a while ago. Sneaky bastards.
On a side note, Vincent hardware has quite a nice range of Ingco and often have good deals on them.

Lunchbox planers are stupidly overpriced for what they are. They all snipe, they all suck a bit but also get the job done.
MAC AFRIC 13" (325mm) Thicknesser Planer | Adendorff Machinery Mart
Smaller design with the DIY or home carpenter in mind. Easily fits on most smaller workbenches with collapsable extenders for support on longer wood pieces. Fitted with a 2-speed wood feeder makes this a very cost-effective woodworking companion.

I would most probably order one as well as 1 or 2 extra blades, well when I get to it. Got some nice wet timber in Midlands. It dried really nice and straight. Now it just need some plaining. And planning to get a whole lot more.Lunchbox planers are stupidly overpriced for what they are. They all snipe, they all suck a bit but also get the job done.
This is the one I would get through, it at least has a digital depth gauge and the blades are cheap to replace. I spoke to a guy who has a carpentry business and he said the Adendorff ones lasted a lot longer than the Jet and Makita he has previously bought.MAC AFRIC 13" (325mm) Thicknesser Planer | Adendorff Machinery Mart

I also have a bunch of hard wood planks I collected over the years that I keep for my very special projects. So they all need 0.5 or so plaining.

Please correct me if i'm wrong, cause i've gotten mixed results in my searches. but i did see takealot reviews which confirmed it.
The drills with a black ring between the torque setting ring (SIlver) and the body, these have hammer as that black ring is the selector.
i.e https://www.takealot.com/total-tools-impact-drill-2-x-2-0ah-1-x-charger-and-carry-case/PLID73068947
But these others do not have hammer.

Nice, electric or are we talking petrol?
*EDIT* I see battery. That's epic. Anyone want a corded electric chainsaw? Used once
Total has one too, the only tool I've seen that they don't bring into South Africa is wall chasers

I always thought Ingco batteries were sized at 2.0Ah and 4.0Ah, but I see a 5.0Ah one is available.

How well do they work?
The Makita version by all reports is great, same as petrol the only limitation being the battery runtime.

It works pretty well for smaller trees and such
I've used it to cut up a few hardekool branches and roots, though I did replace the chain with a Stihl one
I was really impressed on how well it handled hardekool

CAT power tools are finally in the SA market
They are not as cheap as Incgo and Total but still damn good prices

The sellers determine the prices, not Takealot. Even if they did, do you really think if one of millions of customers puts one of their millions of products in a basket they will changed the price for everyone just to make and extra R150?
