I got a Makita cordless. Brushed type use with 4ah battery. Good bit of kit no complaints although they say it is better with 5ah batteries . Really ergonomic for drilling goes. I stuck with Makita as already had other Makita units so only had to buy bare unit so kept cost down .

I too have the cordless makita grinder.it's a good grinder but I go through a lot of brushes with it.they're cheap enough to replace but I would go for brushless next time

I just leave my van doors open, but then I do live in the isle of man where most people leave their front doors open

 

[Qwerty]

Likewise. My crew van has side windows which provide excellent ventilation

 

[One Day]

Back of my van is not ventilated though!
It will be this evening!

Wait til winter, and your grumbling it’s like a block of ice inside your van and you can’t get it warm!

Just close the internal shutter

I installed it in 30 minutes. It was quite scary cutting a hole in the roof of my van.
With just a slight breeze this afternoon, I opened the van after about an hour and it was definitely cooler in there!
Happy days. Yes, it can be 100% closed too.

They're surprisingly cool Antonio!
Ok, not so good as some nice Italian leather sandals - but cool for a safety boot anyway.
