Anyone else have this? Got the angle grinder out this afternoon and cutting some brackets followed by sanding them down, prepping to paint. About 20 mins after I start the neighbour 2 doors down has started an electric plane. Over the road has just started drilling and banging something.

I've come back inside to defrost a bit, then venturing back out to do some more. The other noise has stopped :D Once I go back out I bet they start as well.

Just makes me smile as it happened a fair bit last year as well.

I bought me one of these Makita cordless 18V Li-Ion grinders to go with the batteries my drill uses:

I am a serious tool junkie, will have to post up a tool porn thread at some point...

Wow, cordless angle grinder, sounds funky, how long does that last?

Dunno, haven't managed to flatten a battery yet :D

Lopped a few things off the metal racks at work and chopped up some stuff today at home to fit in the bin to save a run to the tip. The Li-Ion batteries last weeks in the drill so should last quite well. It's not as powerful as a mains grinder but it's not bad.
