Discuss Looking for suggestions to buy cordless drills (for contractors)? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net
I actually heard for years the standard was 18V, but that has now gone up to 20 volt batteries?
In fact in some cases going even higher makes no difference. I have just bought the Bosch 36 volt "professional". Its a replacement for its long serving 24 volt cousin that has done seriously hard graft over 20 years. I find the 36 volt inferior in every respect to its predecessor18v is the standard now, I don’t think going to 20 will make much difference.
I have Blue , battery and mains >Used the mains today to put a 12 x 900mm through a very old basement wall. brand new SDS bit. Piece of cake !Fan of Bosch blue myself. Never had a motor failure, however hot I've run them. unlike the Dewalt I had for a short while. All my batteries are going strong, right from the ones that came with my first drill 10+ years ago, although one did die, and then come back to life again.
Latest batteries have a 'fuel gauge' on them.
Without batteries? does seem rather foolish!everyone seems to be in love with combi drills...wondering will it be foolish if i just buy the bare tool
Depends how many batteries you have acquired over the years.
I have seven 18V Bosch batteries in full working order, so my last purchase, a 115mm grinder, was just the bare tool.
