Builder’s tea needs reheating? Noodles on the go? Or even just fancying a warm pie up a hill? The Makita cordless microwave might be the answer to all this and more - so I’ve put this not-so-fancy but pretty insane out of the kitchen gadget to the test. And I’ve got to admit I’m well impressed!

So this video was a bit more dangerous than I was expecting, I ended up at the doctors after being bitten by a horsefly! But it was worth it for that pie at the top of the hill!

You had to go to the doctors from being bit by a horsefly? Most people get bit by a horsefly and keep going with their day. You must be allergic. Or did you just think that something similar to a bee sting was worth going to the doctor?

My left foot inflated to the size of a small boat and I was very sick for a few days, truly bizarre and first time it's happened to me from a horsefly to that extent but you do hear about it, it wasn't lyme disease or whatever it's called, but some weird thing that fly wanted to share with me and it wasn't a pie@@iamfreeareyou681

Makita also has an excellent portable cooler that can go down to -10°C and up to +50°C. So during summer, you can refresh yourself with a bottle of frozen water on the construction site, while in winter it'll keep your soup nice and warm.

Interesting bit of gear, there, Barry. And you're not wrong about the builders' radio - my neighbours had an extension built, last year. The builders - singing along to hits from the eighties, were great at that, especially the big chippy who could hit the high notes on Bronski Beat's classic, 'Smalltown Boy'. Less impressive, though, were their building skills, or ability to return after lunch. My poor neighbours are still trying to get it sorted. The singalongs were great, though. 🤔🤔🤔

And here I thought Makita just made chain saws. Fun Fact: You can microwave something on a tin pie plate, *BUT* (yes it's a big but) you have to put it on a glass plate and put a glass bowl over it. Without any path back to the radio coil, the ions excited in the metal can't discharge.

Great video, very off topic but I just read the post from earlier this week about so many people being nasty about the new filming style & it makes me so sad & a bit angry. If you hadn't noticed this lovely man was able to put out so many more videos & you can clearly see how happy he is in the newest videos. He got to spend more time with his family & less time hunched over a camera so leave it to selfish people to ruin it instead of just letting the man have a break. Accept a little change people especially when it's for everyone's benefit & don't be surprised when we start to see far less of this lovely man when he's burnt out, then you can complain about that too.

The bit where he goes to hand him the cash cracked me up too. I did understand the wobbly camera making people feel unwell but I figured Cam with a tripod was the answer.
