They killed 2 drill/drivers yesterday as well.1 old Dewalt and a newish but cheap Fat-max li-on!!! To be fair I do like buying new tools, just not so often.
Managed to get hold of a water kit, brand new from of all places Travis's for only £30, nearly fell through the floor when the guy gave me the price, thank feck they have a coffee machine to calm me nerves.

the key to the water is dont have it pissing out
lads on big sites are used to it now and they can cut all day on a muck board with very little mess

we used an adapted garden sprayer for a bit before the stihle bottles were widespread but they are top fed and are awkward
the stihl ones the pipes at the bottom and makes it easier use your tap on the connector to control flow

We've always just tapped a hose onto them, but it does make a mess at the tap and by the cut, mainly due to the pressure, and crap fittings. I've got the guy at the hire shop we use getting me a 410 with a recon engine for £250 and I'm ordering a new one from Stihl, sod it. We have the makita for reserve(back of the lock up for a few years probably) and I do usually hire a bench saw for big drives, since we had our block snapper knicked and don't do enough drives to justify buying one, most of the drives we do are in clay anyway.
