Makita 18v brushless SDS drill

[Aindowsimon]

I think I'm in love , for 18v sds it's a good yn all that's left is for it to stand the test of time

I have the DHR243z with the 5.0Ah batteries, it is superb. Got mine from FFX also for £199 a few months back (£209 currently).

Just picked up the DSS610z circular saw as well on Amazon for £89 quid - absolute bargain!

Whats the difference between the DHR243z and the DHR242z?

It comes with a seperate hex chuck so you can remove the sds chuck and put the hex one on instead, that's the only difference I think.

I bought 4 batteries for just over £50 at the start of the year and I have 1 that's about 3 years old and there is ZERO difference between them and the genuine ones I have

I could have went makita (very close to doing so)...but recently had my head turned by milwaukee and have their m12 combi drill (Cheers howdens ) (currently have a hitachi 18v SDS and combi drill but once they die I think they are getting replaced with M18 milwaukee)
I have one of the following - ( https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2763-22 ) coming in from the states for working on the car / driving big bolts etc... £260 all in for the impact gun bare (bought it as I've had too many "near misses" with my electric clarke windy gun...no motor brake and all or nothing on the trigger...lethal archaic contraption....perhaps Tel would be interested in it (just joshing mate)

£26 for a genuine UK charger and £34 for a generic 4Ah battery (5Ah genuine is £67) Seemingly the only thing that beats it...is the Ingersoll Rand W7150-K2 but only by a gnats hair...and its a lot more expensive...
