hi mate, haha not a millionaire yet, ill defo have a look around thanks for the advice.OP is an apprentice - no mention of also being a millionaire ?
No matter what brand you choose, there isn't one best supplier and it's worth taking time to research as someone always has a better offer price on each tool. Most online suppliers will have free or a fixed nominal delivery charge, which means that there is little to gain in buying everything from one place.
If Makita is what you want, make sure to register everything online with Makita UK within 30 days of purchase as this will extend warranty to 3 years (excluding batteries, obviously).
The problem with a battery SDS they are heavy, especially if using them up a ladder, although they get rid of the cable they are an encumbrance in their weight and handling, think carefully before making a decision, perhaps even try one if you can.
I use them a lot at work but have never really had to use one at any height except on a pair of steps but it would just mean I wouldn't have to be borrowing the drill off of the electrician im working withThe problem with a battery SDS they are heavy, especially if using them up a ladder, although they get rid of the cable they are an encumbrance in their weight and handling, think carefully before making a decision, perhaps even try one if you can.
Brilliant mate I think thats the one I was looking at! hahaIn 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
Hi mate, ive already got 2 5ah batteries in my impact and combi but defo will get a third with the new drill!
Silly old buffer I don't go up ladders anymore and neither should you. ??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.
needs must when the devil drives.Silly old buffer I don't go up ladders anymore and neither should you. ??
good shout sometimes the batteries are just as expensive hahaIt'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.
Quality, thanks mateLink to FFX DHR 242Z Makita DHR242Z 18V SDS Plus Brushless Rotary Hammer Drill Bare Unit - https://www.ffx.co.uk/product/Get/Makita-Dhr242Z-0088381654326-18V-Sds-Plus-Brushless-Rotary-Hammer-Drill-Bare-Unit scroll down for batteries and chargers.
mine are kinetically powered anyway.A lot of tool manufacturers sell battery poweredheated (and cooled) jackets. Maybe there's a market for powered Y fronts?
Ive had the previous iteration of that drill for 5 years and it's been bulletproof.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).
