cordless tools
« on: 30 November 2011, 16:55:09 »
decided to buy a smaller cordless drill for lighter work and this is well worth its money.
on special offer reduced to 99 quid. nice and light and plenty of bite in it.

Good luck, I have not had much joy with the Bosch ones!

I do rate the Makita and Metabo ones though  :y

I've an 18volt metabo  and it is good but the charger broke so never replaced it. I've a dewalt which i think is crap and a ryobi which is very good. Milwaukee are the best I've seen on site recently. better than the makita.

Mine's a Bosch 14.4v cordless. Never missed a beat with light stuff. It came with a free 30 bit set and spare battery which is bloody handy. £59.

most of my kit is dewalt only becuase once you start you just keep going to keep same batteries bearing in mind i have about 20 so stuck with dewalt really all drills are much of the same with most manufacturers buying eachother out ie dewalt elu

got a full kit of those little bosch 10.8 volt excellent little tools although everyones bringing them out now but you can put one in your pocket and its still got some good torque

very good make that is always nice and cheap is ryobi cracking deals on ebay

I have had a Hitachi Cordless Drill for years. Used everyday in my old job, the only thing I have had to get was new batteries..... And still going strong :y

I dont touch anything other than Makita.  Japanese design, Japanese Build.

Ryobi Manufactured in China and Taiwan.

DeWalt are actually just Black & Decker's (spit) expensive range.


I have the luxury of the company supplying and paying for the upkeep of my power tools (Hand Tools at my cost)..... but, I would honestly only ever buy Makita.

I've dropped my current Battery Drill (18months old) from Scaffolding/Cherry Pickers/Scissor Lifts numerous times.  They just bounce and refuse to give up.

I just need advice on decent chucks for this kit.  None of the chucks I have tried over the past decade have lasted more than 6 months.

Choose a set with good lith ion batteries and charger, and that you can add other bodies to...imo.
