Today's content
New: Milwaukee M18 Sub Compact Impact Driver guide The Milwaukee impact driver range includes Right Angle, standard M18 FUEL, and a Sub Compact variant — the smallest and lightest M18 driver. The sub compact has appeared as a research signal for weeks alongside the broader impact driver range. This piece covers where it fits in the range, who it is suited to (electricians, plumbers, and any trade doing sustained overhead or restricted-access fastening), how its output compares in plain English, and the battery compatibility picture.

New: Transporting lithium-ion power tool batteries in the UK Makita UK's Battery Transportation PDF has appeared as a watchlist item in every research pack since at least 12 July 2026 but was never captured with a useful excerpt and no piece was written. This guide covers the road transport picture for tradespeople carrying batteries in vans, the Wh calculations that determine whether your battery packs fall under airline restrictions, correct storage practice, and what to do with damaged cells.
