Cheap Power Tools in Bush

For our long Xmas camp near Dargo this year, I thought I would have a power tools option as with 10-20 vehicles around something always happens.

I had a play some first class battery operated Hitachi tools a mate has, these were superb and included everything from a 5in circular saw , to grinder and drills but each having a muli hundred dollar cost.

I however had allocated only a $100 bucks total and brought cheap and nasty everything and considered it as disposal

First a $74 600w square wave inverter model 8Zed from performance shop.
$14.95 4 inch grinder from K-Mart.
$12 13mm hammer drill from Supercheap.

With a few drill bits, pop rivets, sanding grinding and super thin cutting disks , a short extension co-ord it was only just over $100 bucks.

Chucked all the above along with a few bits of metal into a small cardboard box (from the office A4 paper supply).

Sure enough , someone who shall remain nameless broke a weld and we were straight into it whilst getting lots of encouragement from those sitting around the camp fire.
A flapper sanding disk soon ground the welds off and cleaned up the area, the drill made some holes and in a few minutes we had cut and pop-riveted some steel strapping in place as a fix.
On another occasion we had to cut thru fencing wire and also make some bits for a fireworks display we set off New years eve.

Probably won't take it on all trips but what a powerful effective and compact accessory it was to have.
