110v tools

[hoppy]

Hi guys,

looking to buy some 110v tools, thinking they are better than battery powered tools.

In particular want a jigsaw and a 2kg rotary hammer drill, can anyone recommend any, been looking at mikita as they always seem to get good reviews?

Thanks guys

For both the tools you are after i'd be going for Bosch hoppy. IMO the best for jiggys and hammers, (excluding the brand in the santa suits)

I’d second Bosch.

All my 110v tools are bosch (except the odd impulse buy Hilti!), good quality and touch wood, I haven’t had any problems with them whatsoever! More stores seem to stock Bosch too, from Jewson’s (who have the odd special offer now and then), and Screwfix (who I sometimes use).

The ‘BOSCH GBH 2-26DRE 2kg 110V SDS Plus Drill’ from Screwfix is what I use (£160 inc VAT).

hitachi do a good 2kg 110v drill. its only about £120 and its very good.t drills realy quickly, and its rotary stop mode (chiselling) is very good.

I would also go for Bosch professional.

Have a shop around - I just found it for £116.32 inc VAT from the Bosch shop.

Long gone are the days when screwfix are cheap for good powertools. Never buy from there any powertools from there anymore.

You say that but recently they had an 18v Makita combi drill with 1x 3ah LIon battery for £150, with an offer on so you could get it with 2x 3ah batteries for £220, which seems pretty good to me.
A guy at work bought one and brought it in as a kind of 'show and tell'; it's really light and comes in a nice box.

Link dont work boss!

 

[Amp David]

Treat your self to the Bosch GBH-2-26-DFR, get the extra chuck wiith it

 

[Adam W]

ffs for some reason can't post that link or delete this post, but it's on the screwfix website.

Screwfix have written a bit of code into their website that stops copying links/images etc.

Search for 84044 at *************

Oh very clever. Don't how they managed that but I can't even put a link to the website now.

Just seeing stars now, and not for the first time this weekend!

 

[Adam W]

Why would they want to do that?

the 24v hiatachie Battery SDS looks good BUT dont expect it to goon for ever Firm i was with and the floor layer both had one and both suffered from short battery life and seemed very"Soft" when it came to repetative use my old Dewalt skooshed them every time

 

[telectrix]

now, my old hitachi beats the dewalt hands down, faster spin, better battery life, quicker by far in concrete.only thing it won't do is chisel. the dewalt does but it's pants. use makita 110v for chiselling. £20 from car boot. bargain.
