With recent addition of the Makita BL1850 and Bosch 18v 5.0Ah battery we knew we wouldn’t be waiting long for the Dewalt 5 amp battery to arrive.

The great thing with this battery is that it will fit any existing Dewalt 18v Li-Ion tools. Also, Dewalt have worked hard to make sure that an extra amp doesn’t mean extra weight. The 5.0Ah battery weighs almost identical to the 4.0ah battery.

We have all experienced kick back from our drill when it doesn’t quite have the power to drill through your required material or your drill bit gets caught on something like an unseen screw.

Drill kickback may just cause you some frustration but when the tool rotates hard and unexpectedly it can cause much worse issues including broken wrists or arms or even throw you from a ladder.

Bosch have now added the 5.0ah Coolpack battery to their 18v range of blue power tools.

Recent times have seen brands introduce their 4.0Ah batteries to the market, Bosch have taken one step ahead with their GBA 18v 5.0Ah Li-ion battery. Stock will be landing any day now! It will provide up to 25% longer run time than the 4.0Ah without increase the size or weight of the battery.

At Buyaparcel we always like to bring to your attention new power tools that are coming onto the market, but sometimes it worth us reminding you how great some of the longer standing products are.

The Makita AF505 18g brad air pin nailer is one of those. Its price point is great, coming in much cheaper than some of its counterparts. Taking into account Makita’s renowned quality, you wouldn’t expect the price to be so low on a professional grade nailer.

In this cold weather a hot bath or shower is something we all enjoy and we all know stepping out of the warm water into the chilly surrounding air is the worst part. There is nothing better than a great big fluffy towel that has been gently warming to wrap yourself up in before climbing into your comical onesie that Santa brought you.

While on the jobsite everybody wants more power from their cordless tool. This extra power can be provided by larger motors, which in turn need higher capacity batteries that can get the power to the motor faster. This allows the motor to run for longer.

Breaking news… Makita are set to release their 4.0ah Li-Ion battery (BL1840). With the likes of Dewalt, Milwaukee and Bosch already having their 4Ah batteries on the market, Makita are the last of the leading manufacturers to join the 4 amp brigade.

The Bristan Joy Thermostatic electric shower offers a modern design with a smooth, flat surface which makes it incredibly easy to clean. Adding to the current Bristan Electric Shower range this Thermostatic Electric Shower is the only shower in the Bristan Electric Shower Range that has the facility to regulate water temperature with its Thermosafe function.

Mixer Showers offer many benefits in terms of performance and aesthetics. They usually deliver a higher flow rate than other types of shower, and there is a wealth of contemporary and traditional design choices on offer, including concealed options which enable a very neat look to be achieved. Alongside this, today’s mixer showers offer features that make showering safer, and save water. lt’s no wonder they have become so popular. However, before going ahead with an installation it’s important to remember that the effectiveness of this type of shower is largely dependant on a good hot water supply from a boiler or cylinder, and whether the cold water pressure is constant, and (preferably) balanced.

The Joy is part of a new range of Bristan Electric Showers including the Bristan Smile, Bristan Glee, Bristan Joy, and Bristan Bliss electric showers.

The range boasts some very modern features, such as digital display with clear temperature indication, and phased shutdown which helps reduce limescale build up & prevents short, sharp blasts of hot water for the next user.
