hi all, looking at drill/drivers, wat do u all use.. ang good deals out there
Discuss which 18v cordless drill/driver.. ?? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net
I used to be Makita all the way but have been using the Blue Bosch series for about 12 months and they blind the Makita IMO.
Isn't this thread just 'going around the buoy again'? Is there a problem with the search function?
I only buy Bosch Professional, IMO they are the best you can buy, I am a bit of a Bosch person

No circles on this thread? Only a member asking for advise from other time served electricians on what tool is best? It's called conversation and helpfulness!
Think I'll take my glasses back to Spec Savers and get them re calibrated because I cant see a circle.
reuleaux triangle drillbit XD i only know about it thanks to qiof course you got circles. it's the way a drill works. the chuck goes round in circles. ( unless it's power devil, then it's triangles.)
course
the 481 has over 100nm torque, i drilled some 110mm holes in a steel 50 cal ammo box and it didnt have a problem at all. (the steel is very thick)Was just about to post a new thread but will hijack this one instead sort of.
I'm goin to purchase, most likely a makita , 18v set. However should I go brushless. Have heard conflicting stories.
Was thinking of getting 18v combi, in pact driver and sds. Also which models would you recommend? A guy I know struggles with a makita when drilling 3 inch holes in boards. Told me to go for the next size up
its upto you, the 458 is a good drill. the brushes lasted me less than a year. (£6-10 for brushes and holder if you need it)https://sydneytools.com.au/makita-dlx4029m-18v-4-0ah-li-ion-4pce-cordless-combo-kit-12730?___SID=U
The above kit looks great but isn't brushless. It is the 458 combi and BTD146 impact. Or do I go brushless for similar price but no torch or grinder ? I am definetly purchasing the DHR242z SDS to go with whichever kit I buy.

there easy to repair, i went brushless this time but it is nearly double the body only price
yes it is a lot more powerful and the battery seems to go on forever in comparisonThanks for your advice mate. Do you find the brushless performance better?
im not joking but use two hands, one on the handle and the other on the drill.Got the bhp481 and dtd145 kit today. 2 5ah and 1 4ah batteries included. Seems a bit heavy was goin to go for the dhp480 but it obky had 58nm torque. I will hopefully apreciate the power when I have tons of boards and joists to bust through
dont trust makita's numbering system.Bloody hell. I've a feeling it could be alot more powerful than I need lol. But the next brushless one down seems crap in comparison
it will be fine, it will cut out etc so its not clutchless as such.Yeah they seem to make it confusing. I've a feeling the place I bought it won't swap over so it will do. If I find it too powerful I'll just get body only 458. This 481 looks like it could be a great piece of kit to have though. Thanks for your help mate
