 ===== Makita Drill and Impact Driver Set =====
-StageSoc has a Makita 18V cordless drill and impact driver set, in a green Makita plastic case. There is one battery charging station and two 4Ah batteries, on the shelf in Small Store. These were bought in 2021.
+StageSoc has 3 Makita 18V cordless drills and one impact driver, in a turquoise Makita plastic case. There are two battery charging station and 4 4Ah batteries, on the shelf in Small Store. These were bought over 2021 and 2022.
-These are very good tools which are powerful and robust (ish - the drill is named "Sparky" because it was returned to Makita under warranty twice).
-===== Old Makita Drill =====
-This is a much older model of 18v cordless Makita drill. We have only one battery for it, **which is a different size from the newer Makita batteries.** This and the charger are stored on the shelf in Small Store. The drill is stored in a black fabric Makita case.
-This drill is less powerful but still perfectly sufficient for smaller jobs and screwdriving.
-===== New Makita Drill =====
-Our newest drill is a Makita 18V brushless drill, it uses the same battery as sparky and the impact driver. It is stored in the plastic Makita case with Sparky and the Impact driver.
 ===== JCB Drill =====
-This is a fairly old 20V cordless drill. We have about 4 batteries and one charger, all on the shelf in Small Store. It is stored in a black hard plastic JCB case.

 ===== Jigsaw =====
-We have a Bosch (green, not the professional range) corded jigsaw. It is kept in a green hard plastic Bosch case. Blades are kept in a small grey and yellow plastic Ryobi case in the Sharps drawer of George (the red tool cabinet in Upper Store).
+We have a blue Makita cordless jigsaw. This uses the same 18V batteries as the drills and impact driver. **Note:** Just because it is cordless doesn't mean you should take it //anywhere// - please do not use the jigsaw up a ladder.
