18volt combi drill & impact driver which one ?

[Antonakis]

Hey people,

Im looking for a new combi drill & impact driver

I have see this dewalt set that I quite like,

http://m.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-dck285m2-18v-4ah-li-ion-twin-pack-combi-drill-impact-driver-xr/62046

2 4aH batteries should last a while.

but I'm not sure what's better Makita or dewalt ??? What's better in your opinion ??? What lasts longer and takes a beating better ???

the Makita equivalent set comes with 3ah batteries

Or for the same money is there a even better make ?


cheers in advance people

MILWAUKEE!! That stuff is amazing

DEwalt is awful kit

That impact drill is not going to be good for much - looks a bit diy to me

I use Bosch GBH 24V for rotary impact - good drill if you have spare batt

Few more pennies but imo worth it.

18volt combi drill & impact driver which one ?

Milwaukee fuel 18v no going back!

 

[Hawkmoon]

Milwaukee fuel 18v no going back!

That would be a problem for me, I like a reverse option on a drill

 

[Antonakis]

Do Milwaukee do a twin pack set ?

no reverse on a Milwaukee ?

he's taking the pee out of applemac's post.

Can someone show me a link to a decent twin Milwaukee pack

All these m18 m12 fuel are confusing me

Don't buy Dewalt, theve gone right down IMO. Really poor... for professional use anyway.

Milwaukee are quality but depends on your budget. Otherwise get the Makita or Bosch.

All my cordless gear is Makita, all my corded is Bosch. I have nothing but great things to say about them both.

 

[iamelectric]

[Antonakis]

It's all gd, milwaukee sold it to me as no1 else had it I worked with and 3 yrs on tools and 2 on battery's if registered online. And in good weeks I add to it .

i do find that I could replace combi with a 12v driver as I have sds

But it will break first before I change it.
