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?
