cordless drill????

[Hawk81]

I need to get myself a new cordless drill but can't decide what to go for, what are you guys using and what would you recommend. I am thinking bosch myself.

SDS, Combi, Drill driver, Impact driver?:stooge_curly:

Sorry drill driver. The bosch I am looking at is the 18v drill driver with the impact driver too.

Dewalt. 14v 24v and Bosch 24v

Nice bit of kit

Sorry drill driver. The bosch I am looking at is the 18v drill driver with the impact driver too.

Personally for drill drivers I look for something with a high RPM rate for HSS drilling, holesaws etc, with a reasonable level of torque to drive all the most common screw sizes I use ,also it has to be light for using above my head all day. Bosch are always very good though maybe a slightly lighter version not the 18V, milwaukee do some great stuff thats on a par with Hilti.

I am a milwaukee man an always will be.

This is what I am thinking of getting Bosch GSB 18-2-LI Combi Drill and GDR 18 V-LI Impact Driver, with L-Boxx (2 Batteries)

Never tried any of their stuff

IMO there's not much point in a drill with a 10mm chuck.

Very good gear a bit expensive but it lasts.

for £264 inc Vat you could have a Hilti.

panasonic 21v i think was 175& vat great batteries
had a makita mxt 18v which was excellent .far better build quality than the lxt version imo

If you're after the 18v drill/driver combo this would be worth the extra.
There were loads of places offering the kit at a discount, dunno if it's because the line was being discontinued.

I bought this Makita BHP451RFE 18v 13mm 3 Speed LXT Combi Drill - Branded Tools then a bare BTD140 driver off ebay for £80 (the impact driver fits in the drill box)
