My dewalt battery's have finally died

Chuck them and get some new ones :wink_smile:

The 18 volt Metabo are good mate, I'd say better specced than Dewalt XR range

Everything seems to be going brush less now so its more efficiant, so might be worth hanging on if you are after the latest technology

Dewalt 18 volt nano's all round here for drill / Jigsaw / hoover , Just so i can charge em up in the radio as well

OP doesn't want to be going and spending his hard earned on the Nano gear now though, its only a little step ahead of Ni Mh

Makita 18v Lithium Ion for me. Got 4 batteries, combi-drill (two speed) impact driver, sds, grinder, recip saw. However Professional Electrician Magazine had a leaflet in it this month for Metabo I think and their range and prices look really good.

I just bought an 18v Dewalt SDS and 18v Dewalt Angle Drill - cant fault them

Both from FFX - under £500 in total - I just need to get myself a new 18v drill - looking at Dewalt and Makita at the moment.

IMO it makes sense to have all of your cordless tools the same make and voltage as it means you have more batteries

agreed , and as flexibility with one type of battery goes , dewalt are unbeatable.

Makita all the way for me , the lithium batteries are quick to charge and last ages.

Bosch for me then, 20 min charge time, masses of torque and 3 year gtee
