    Brushless motor battery drills - unsatisfactory speed control, or just this model?

    Have had a Makita BHP458 (non-brushless) hammer drill for years, I love it, it's pretty indestructable and the torque's great, but the chuck's finally going. They seem to be moving to brushless motors now (for most of their combi drills). I've only recently bought a battery SDS drill (after 2...

    18v li-on combi drills... Makita or DeWalt...

    Choices to make... All with 2 li-on batteries... Makita (£139) Dewalt (£149) Hitachi (£99) I've heard not to go near the Hitachi and the price tends to suggest it might be a false economy but if anyone has one please feel free to correct me... What's the general Dewalt vs Makita consensus?
