SDS and Combo Drill Recommendations

[RDB85]

Milwaukee looks good. Is the M18 Fuel range good? As I’ve found a Combi Drill for £250 online brand new. Should be £350.

Or would this be better:

Milwaukee M18SET2B-513B 18V Li-Ion Cordless Combi Drill, SDS Hammer Drill & M12 LED Torch Kit 2 x 5.0Ah 18V & 1 x 1.5Ah 12V

I’ve also seen this Dewalt for £200 online:

When you're faced with a task involving lots of different surfaces, choose this brushless twin drill kit comprising a combi drill and impact driver. This package comes with two 4.0 Ah Lithium-Ion batteries for minimum downtime on the job, as well as a multi-voltage charger and kit box to...

The Milwaukee M18 Fuel range is the best out there at the minute. The combi drills have the highest torque of any available combi drill and mine minces through joists no problems. the combi drill is the M18FPD2 or M18FPD for the previous version. I think they are essentially the same tool, just the newer FPD2 is slightly lighter and smaller.

£250 is just slightly on the cheaper side of the going rate for a new version Fuel combi with 2 x 5Ah batteries and a charger. I can find that deal at £270 on quite a few websites I have had tools from before.

The toolstation Milwaukee items there are older dated stock with a bit less power, but still good. I have that combi, bought it 6 years ago and still going good although I did have to replace the trigger once.

The DeWalt kit looks a good deal if you need an impact driver. Not used DeWalt myself though so can't comment on it really.

Thanks Andy. This the the Milwaukee Fuel one: Milwaukee M18 FPD2 FUEL Combi Drill

I would rather have an SDS than an Impact. So it’s older stock. There is one on eBay for £300. So I’m not sure what to do. As the Milwaukee Fuel one for £250 looks a bargain based on what’s they go for online.

Got a link to the deal you're looking at ? Like I say £250 is good but only just cheaper than £270 .. which is readily available.

Can’t find it now. This any good:

Hmmm, yeah looks good, but cash convertors ? Never know where it's come from.

What you go for depends on your budget really

You could buy a Fuel combi but if you then still need a sds to match the batteries then it's another £200 for a body only sds. So around £470 in total.

The toolstation kit honestly looks quite good for the price, even if it is older models. If it's a starter kit and budget is key then go for that. The batteries will last for years if you ever fancy upgrading to Fuel stuff.

It’s gone from Cash Converters, but your only saving £70 online. It’s a good saving but you don’t have a guarantee.

That same kit from Toolstation is £300 on eBay brand new. Ideally I have a budget of £200 - £300. As I’m just starting out.
