Which is Best Dewalt, Bosch, Makita etc

[jp1976]

HI all still a newbie here

I have just got the new bosch 36v sds drill and 230v bosch sds for the bigger jobs. I do have a Dewalt drill/driver which has more than paid for its self only the chuck Is getting tired now. do I build up on my bosch collection is my question ? or get the same Dewalt drill/driver. bit of a toolaholic

decide now before you get too much of one or the other brand.

i have got all makita gear with 5 batteries and apart from me getting a newer version of my drill nothing has died.

my only gripe with dewalt is they keep changing the battery style but thats not a big problem with aftermarket batteries

I've been having a look at these recently, they do feel like good quality.

not heard anything wront with the robusta series, Milwaukee,dewalt,makita or bosch.

if your near tw (where you got img from) they have increased there stock of dewalt now so have makita,bosch,dewalt all on the shelf

De Walt is (very slightly beefed up and) rebranded Black and Decker. Bosch is better imho

None of the above, Milwaukee or Hilti are the best in the business....
Dewalt these day's are but a shadow of what they once were, definitely wouldn't be my first choice...

BOSGBH36VFLI4 is the sds drill I got with 2 batteries from buildbase aka jacksons for a bargain £300 including the dreaded. so might get the drill/drive to match the batteries. I don't do things cheap

I have same trouble on my lap top, but iPad is fine. Must be something to do with what browser you are using.

It all comes down to value not what is best. I personally prefer Bosch. DeWalt I always found to be too heavy to work with one handed. I also would never buy a 230v drill. Not allowed on building sites so why by a drill that you may not be able to use in the future?

I've got a 36V bosch, and it's brilliant, got it from CEF of all places,
£300 all in with 3 batteries,

I bought this set in November last year and I really like it. I recently bought the 18v sds to go with them too. The l-box carry case is good as they just clip to each other, they just get heavy quite quickly. I think i got the combi and impact from blue power tools and the sds from ffx, who seem to have a lot of good deals. Got a fein multimaster from there too

Milwaukee for me inter changeable batteries I have an 18 volt SDS which power wise is the equivalent to a 24 volt top quality tools

I bought a Bosch twin set - 18v. After about a month realised that metal hole cutters didn't fit in the chuck. Grrrrrrr
