Need new drill please

[rocketmanbkk]

Hi Friends

I've lost/had stolen my Bosch cordless drill.

It wasn't expensive or top of the range but was good for me, had 2 batteries etc.

I need to buy a new one, my mate has a Makita drill and impact driver in the same case but they're £300.

Any ideas or recommendations please?

Thx

Rct

Dewalt to a similar twin pack to the makita but it's about £180 ish at screwfix(i think )

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Prefer a bit cheaper. Don't really need an impact driver. Never really used one. Thx for replying

Most of the 2 speed makitas are usually on offer at around £130 rocket. Travis perkins , plumfix etc are always doin deals.

When I had my van broken into, I had all my drills and some tools stolen :-(

I needed a drill quickly because I had to hang 4 radiators the next day. I bought this one

DeWALT 18v Combi Drill & 2 batteries, 5035048269466

its only cheap, but it does the job. I still haven't replaced any of my other drills that where stolen, but I haven't had to as I don't do installations anymore.

If I where to do installations again, then I'd obviously replace them.

But the most I ever drill is radiator brackets or things like flue terminal guards etc

Call toolmonkey Leighton buzzard they will find a drill to fit your budget . If over £100 free p&p next day. I live milwaukiee

 

[mountainman]

I'm a fan of B&Q tools. Decent quality, cheap, long guarantees so when you work them to death; hey presto they give you a new one.
Don't pay in tradepoint though as you lose any extended warranty.

A true professional would obviously buy Milwaukee.

Been there, done that, had them stolen, got the crime report number. Nuff said.

Funny enough, that's the drill got pinched out the back of my van, now't fancy but worked fine 🙂

Have you got the 18v cordless mike. ive had some grief with the chuck on mine. Also my 28v sds drills in slow mo now ( has been thrashed for 5 years though). Also while were talking drills, do dewalt lithium batteries fit the old ni cad drills. Got 3 in the garage but the batteries are rubbish.?

 

[josh]

Have many of you chaps got impact drivers?
was told by a carpenter wouldn't be that suitable for my/our job.
Also going to buy a mini angle grinder soon, by reading what most of you've put you'd buy the Milwaukee one over the makita? It's only £7 dearer than the makita.

 

[Whyme]

Ive got a bosch corded grinder and it been going for donkeys years. impact drivers are good for big meaty screws but you need one to take the bleeding things back out.. I havent got one, i just pilot drill if the screws a monster..

 

[SimonG]

I've had my impact driver for 18 months. How the hell did I manage without it I do not know.

 

[Ermintrude]

Milwaukiee 3 year warranty and they never quibble. . Dropped recip in headder tank...... They sent me new one as it stopped working !!!!! If your on a budget buy standard kit with 3ah batts and then when you make additions get the FUEL stuff ad some 4ah! Bare tools are stupidly cheap and I as you may know love their stuff. I even have grips, craft knife, van vault and core bits.

 

[josh]

That's all helpful and good to know, thanks guys.
borrowed a festool cordless drill of a bloke once just to drill one hole, dropped it and had to pay £100 for it to be sent to them and for them to change something on the end I had broke.
stupidly expensive tools

If corded then basicly buy any, pretty much all the same, my corded are hitachis
Cordless?
Pay the extra 40 quid for the milwaukee fuel grinder, massive improvement on the older milwaukee.....it makes the makita look like a toy.

 

[AWheating]

Most drill are good if suitable for the work and budget. If your planning on doing a lot of Heavy duty work then pay for tools that are designed for the purpose you intend to use them for.

Somebody mentioned milwaukee 28v, if the batts are v28 they were junk cells in them. Also lion batts degrade over time even if you don't use them often! They will still indicate full charge but the cells won't have much energy in them. Get m28 batts. 3 years is good going if your batts still holding strong.
