i think its gotta be the dewalt cordless drills or mikitta. i was thinking of getting the new makitta drill. It has a lithium ion battery so it holds its charge for longer and gets to fully charged in half an hour from flat?! NICE!

Don't know about the Dewalt but Makita are one of the best.

Hi

I have just bought a new DeWALT 18v DC925KBV, with three batteries. You can get it online for £250. I know it uses Nickel batteries apposed to Lithium ones so it won't last as long. But I have some other DeWALT 18v stuff so means I have more batteries.

I think its a great piece of kit, and would definetly recommend it. Has Hammer, 3 speeds, and comes in a nice box .

Hope this helps.

Many Thanks

Leo

I have just sold my DeWalt gear as I think it is overrated and heavy/awkward (and I am a17 stone weight trainer so no jokes about being a wimp!). Just bought Makita gear which is good so far but I have a soft spot for Bosch.

what type of makita products have you bought ?

I bought a Makita 14.4 volt impact driver and 14.4 volt drill driver with case, 3 batteries and charger for £130. I want to get the lithium ion 18v range in time but will have to save the pennies. However, having used the impact driver for a few weeks now I don't know how I managed before without one!

I find my bosch 24V absolutely superb for masonary however v.poor drilling joists etc (burnt it out 3 times then Bosch replaced)
My Makita 18V is the exact opposite so with the 2 I cover every base

just bought a makita 24 sds drill with 2 x 3.3ah batteries. very clean and good condition, looks unused. cost £230 off magic ebay, yet to receive it, might be an empty box. What you think of the price ???

If that is new then not bad Luke
