Im looking for a new corded drill around £50-£60, i have a cordeless one but sometimes its just not good enough and have just destroyed my corded one(it was secondhand from a mate)
What would you recommend?

Many thanks
Tommy

I bought a Bosch drill way back in the early '90s. I've built two cars with it and I use it on a regular basis for other stuff too. It's still going strong.
Don't know what the modern ones are like in comparison, but a quick look in Argos came up with this:

I've always been very pleased with my 750w Ryobi corded hammer drill.

Cheers,

Bosch/Makita get my vote. I've found Bosch customer service seems good. Swimbos iron blew up well after the one year standard cover (if its possible she'll iron it!). I phoned up the general Bosch customer call center & they'd sent a better model out to us by the time I'd boxed it up.

all my drills are Bosch which are worth the extra. Only down side is they go through brushes quite quickly but those are easy to change. All my grinders are Black & decker as they're very tough and last longest.

I had a cordless bosch which lasted 10 years but gave up the ghost. I have recently replaced with a dewalt, more expensive but a much better drill.

I am still useing my Wolf type 76 pistol drill bought in the mid 70s and still going strong, been used with a orbital sander atachment for a couple of boat rebuilds and a few cars, alas they dont make em like they used to now sadly. I have replaced the cable a few times though plus the switch once.

its a fair bit dearer but its a great piece
of kit with the chisel and changeable chucks.

I've had a Wickes corded hammer drill non sds type for years and it still does the job. It only cost about £30 if I remember right.
