Anyone got any recent fan beta? I've had a bit of a look around but can't find many good deals.
It's main utility therefore is to simply cool your skin down between attempts, which a smaller fan does perfectly well.

Are they any good for getting rid of midges?? Or not that powerful?
I've heard good things about these., but not tried personally https://www.thesmokinmidge.com/shop
I am looking at getting an impact driver, fan and batteries in near future. Bit taken aback at cost Going with makita.Know the fan I want and assume that even the more basic impact drivers should be fine for me as it for general DIY stuff and homeboard. Is the idea with the batteries that all the makita batteries will work with all makita kit and that the more you spend the better/ longer lasting the battery is?

It is really annoying that there isn't a single standard for power tool battery mounting. Quite anti-competitive really considering it means once you start buying things from a given manufacturer you're essentially locked in.
Pedantry perhaps but isn't Ah Amp hours?

This problem of getting 18v from one arrangement of prongs to another has been solved by aftermarket adapters. If you google e.g. Dewalt to makita 18v battery adapter lots of results will come up. Likewise for most major brands. They obvs only work in one direction but if you're already "invested" in e.g. Dewalt but want a makita / milwaukee etc fan then for for £15 and some added bulk its totally doable. Not ideal for a handheld tool like an impact driver, but should be fine on a fan.
