DRILL EXPERT NEEDED

landy_bug:
B&Q Gloucester doing makita 18v for same money much better drill in my opinion i have used many brands and currently use 14.4v makita more than man enough as powerful as dewalt 18v but much lighter just has smaller chuck.

william127:
thats good value for the money, altough if you need to use it all day away from a power source a third battery rated at 2.6 or 3.0 ah (or whatever its called)would be fairly  usefull. there was somewhere(bandq?) doing a package with a dewalt sds corded drill and a similar battery drill to that one for £100 which is also pretty good.
i buy makitas personally but that one seems better than the £100 makita in my opinion

Mutz:
Dont bother, save up for something with 3.0 ah batts.

that must be a very old drill as they usually come with 2 ah batts.

I would save a bit more and go for the Makita Li-ion battery job only 1 battery but full charge in 22 mins.

I always bought Dewalt but unfortunatley they have been going down hill in performance and quality; the new model Makita's are brill, same bat. fits all equipment.

Saffy:
Was a time when you only seen Dewalt in industrial trade only counters, since they are now mainstream (and cheaper!) I am wondering if it's a different quality product as it doesn't pay to have DIY equipment last past a warranty period of occasional home use (black&decker experts on that science).
When I was apprentice the chippy's int he factory where idolising "Makita", what do they go for these days in the trade?

I think the twin drill with  batts. Driver + Combi drill is about the £250

I bought one for home which was the limited edition (black&white) 18v 1 batt. and its far supperior to the 18v Dewalt. got for £140.
