Drill on screwfix

For sds i use a really cheap one, almost disposable. Lasts a year easily:

Cheap sds

Though of course you would need 110v.

I also have a dewalt 18v cordless but since the bushes started to go i havent got it out.

Hi Stuart.

Check out dewalt in screwfix, the more you pay the better the drill, cheep ones crap and batts always on charge.

Mike also sparky.

hi, i do not need sds, the company supplies them, i am gooing to speak to my boss wenesday, and see what he says about a drill.

but i would like lithuim, but i can not afford it.

well taht is all ways the story.

what are normaly 18v makita/dewalt/hitachi battery tools last?


as well radios? does very one have one.lol

thanks

stuart

makita all the way for me ,the 14.4 drills are incredibly powerful and very robust compared to dewalt which feel and look cheap.the mak radio is very good,like you i would like the lithiem but they are pricey.

just seen a 14.4v drill and a 14.4v impact driver with 3batterys for £120 plus postage doe sthat sound good?

thanks

stuart

think my 18v makitas are getting on to two years old now.

For radio, i just use an asda digital radio, about £15.

Its Makita for me every time. Have 18v lithium 2 and 3 speed drill/drivers, impact drill, wood circular saw, metal circular saw, jig saw, angle grinder, torch. and a 1.5ah battery which is very light.

Bought all these naked off ebay. got the anniversary 2 speed drill/driver for £45!! Got a charger and 2 battery locally.

Once you use the saws you will never pick up a hand saw again.

All work tools are Makita and never had a fault with any.

Hope this helps you choose Makita 18v Lithium.

hi all, well spoke to my boss, and he class it as a hand tool so i will have to supply one,

that will take a while, espicaly there is the engien conversion, brakes and steering rack on the mk before i even think about buy one.lol
