makita bhr 200 vs bhr 261

[bob the plumber]

pound for pound which is the better drill? im wanting one or the other for hanging rads and general cordless chieseling work?you might think both are a bit extreme but i would rather buy a decent drill than a cheap one that will break after 6 months. hope some of you guys might own one or the two

thanks

if you are going to use it for chiseling and/or larger size drill bit then the 261 is the better option, it has more impact power and vibration control which will aid chiseling alot. Its batteries will also go alot longer.

Personally I'd go for a Bosch 36v (not the compact one)
I've had mine 4 years only thing that ever needed doing a set of £5 brushes can't recommend makita never had one

must admit my bosch 24v has been a marvelous investment its probably nearing ten years old now
