i got a couple of the makita 18v cordlesses on screwfix, this is their current offer though, hitatchi:

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.

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.

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.
