just bought a makita 24 sds drill with 2 x 3.3ah batteries. very clean and good condition, looks unused. cost £230 off magic ebay, yet to receive it, might be an empty box. What you think of the price ???

This is a better buy if am honest :eek::)

I disagree Steve. It only comes with 2 2.0 Ah batteries when the Makita has 3 x 3.3 Ah. Dewalt ain't what it was and I will never buy Dewalt again - Makita & Bosch for me. I got a brand new 110V Dewalt SDS in the case and won't use it cos it is crap. My boss got it for me but I would rather use my kit as it's better!
 
He says it only come with 2 batts and if its the makita sds 24v (bhr200saj) which is the one i have and the only 24v sds makita available as far as i know , one of the batts is a 2.0ah while the other is a 3.3ah , add all this to the fact that he paid +£230 secondhand with no warranty , id take the dewalt @ £250 new with warranty every time .
i now have both as i bought the dewalt as a back up to my makita and performance wise there's nothing in it , i agree with what your saying in general though , makita does seem to be better quality , especially the new li-ion range:)

sorry steve, but it does have 2 x 3.3ah batterys, and its in look like condition, like I sed before I burnt it out the other month on loads of joists. But when I took it in for repair and they opened it up, they found nothing wrong with it.

I think for £230 its a good price for a makita

obviously ebay is risky, but i took the risk and its great

Hi I bought the Bosch 36v SDS and have had a load of trouble with it. Sent it back to Bosch twice and they tell me that there's nothing wrong with it. My old dewalt 24v is much better, with the exception of the clutch not being as good!!

ive got the dewalt 18v gear and its all a pile of crap. the battery i charge night before go to them the next morning and they are flat:mad: everytime. i now use my 24 bosch but my best buy to date was my 24v makita now that is a right piece of kit and also the bosch 14.4v impact driver:cool: i dont know how i managed without it.

im thinking about getting rid of the dewalt gear and getting one of those 7 piece makita li ion kits of ebay. but for those i would need to charge on the 110v tranny as its all american.
