Hey @Pineapple Smurf tune us your Ingco setup, I'm a fan myself and always looking to expand my collection

Only have the cordless drill with 2 batteries and a charger and the soldering iron that uses the same cordless drill batteries for now in the Ingco carry bag.
Oh I also bought the 13mm chuck but havent used it yet.

Seems pretty solid, nothing feels cheap and crappy, then again only time will tell.

I will get the cordless jigsaw next, then the cordless circular saw one day (it's bloody expensive)

How does the 13mm chuck connect to the drill?

Sorry no idea what SDS is
I just tool around the house on the odd occasion

I went and put it on my 10mm chuck now and it fits my 13mm masonry bit perfect.

Not that I would ever use that on a cordless drill with no hammer mode. But it fits and works.

Perfect for my 13mm steel bit (somewhere in garage) for drilling into aluminium

I've tried that before but the 13mm chuck's shaft has the SDS keyways so it won't clamp true in the drills chuck so it runs all over the place and also due to keyways it comes loose easily.

Does this count as tool or tech

I have a nice drill bit here - it has an 8mm shaft but a 20mm head, and at 300mm long it's good for punching through walls to fit PVC pipe through.

But it struggles a bit with a cordless drill, so I usually reserve it for the corded Bosch. The Ingco doesn't have the oomph to drive such a large bit on hammer action. I have the cordless SDS in my wishlist though...

Nice

Can confirm, both the jigsaw and the circular saw work really well.

The impact driver is awesome and for some real ball busting action try the SDS rotary hammer drill

Generally the exterior paints are too thick to be used with these. You would need to thin them down considerably to be able to use it, which negates the whole idea of a thick exterior paint.

I think they come with a tool to measure drip speed, if it's too slow/viscous then they advise you to not try use it.

I saw the viscosity was the main factor. Generally these HVLP spray guns have a maximum Din-s of 50. Acrylic paints are around 100 Din-s based on Dulux paint specs. Dulux advises not to dilute the acrylic paint beyond 10%, which I doubt will alter the viscosity that much. Also I take it if you dilute it further it looses its properties? It would be interesting to know the outcomes of someone experimenting with these HVLP's and acrylics.
