Bosch GBH 24volt hammer drill

[littlespark]

I had an older Dewalt drill with dodgy batteries. Had already spent wasted money on an unbranded ebay battery. Didn't want to buy new as it is a good drill, and I hate throwing away anything that still works.

My solution was to buy second hand from a joiner who was upgrading his kit to the very newest and very best.
Got a load of newish Lithium batteries and a collection of other tools that took the same battery. Some things had hardly been used.

All our cordless is Makita and we have an 18v SDS as Spinlondon has posted but I don't think it has the poke as my old Bosch. I need to get the drill out of my mate's garage to get the full details and make a few enquiries.
Many thanks to all so far as I always value input from the coal face by you guys.

The aftermarket batteries are perfectly ok and give a good service. The plastic that they are made of is sometimes a little more brittle so you don’t want to be throwing them about. Plenty of deals on eBay buy 2 for a certain price - it’ll bring your drill back to life and not cost the earth.

Get this brushless one. It has serious amount of poke, far more than the 18v brushed one.

Stop messing around. Just buy Milwaukee!!!

I think there are some businesses that specialize in re-celling drill batteries. I was going to get an AEG one done.
