Best website for Makita tools??

In short, unless you want to start out with several versions of a tools that all do the same job, then middle of the road is probably the best option (something like Makita DHR242). While cordless tools are still generally heavier than their corded counterparts, the difference is not great and (for most jobs) the convenience far outweighs any additional weight.

If a little extra weight is a big problem, it's often easier to eat a few more weetabix than find a convenient source of power.

Model numbers is the 2nd trick to buying one, you want at least 5Ah battery and spare 5 aswell if you acting the machine with no plug top

It's worth shopping around - sometimes great deals can be found on tool bodies and sometimes sets let you get batteries at a fraction of normal cost.

up a ladder i use an Aldi lightweight SDS. 18V,good for plugging holes and a bit more on top. bonus is it was £50 and not too many tears if dropped from 20ft.
