Default Re: Best Powertools brands around!!

Like all tools,choice of drills is different with everyone.

Never been one for brand names and I get mocked by some for mine, I have B&D 18v for screwdriving and small holes in plastic and metal and B and Q own brand mains powered SDS drill for larger holes and chasing.My company supplies 110v drill (Makita) but i rarely use it. Replace the battery one every 18mnths or so (at 50 quid a pop)but had the "B&Q special" for 5 years, chased out so many houses i,ve lost count and its never let me down.
Also it only cost £45 and came with a chuck converter and selection of chisel bits/drills etc, they only cost £65 in my local B&Q nowadays so if it ever does break i will give another one a go.

Then again maybe i'm just tight
