What Battery Powered Drill for Eco Plugs??

[treesnakey]

My drill has died and was not the most effective for the big drill bit for eco plugs.

 

Any recommendations for a decent battery operated drill?

DeWalt has been excellent, cost about £150 though.

Stihl 2 Stroke Drill is very good and useful for other stuff

My old makita died and a few cheappos and days later I opted for a dewalt with 4.0ah batteries. I bought it for the same purpose and it copes no bother, had it about a year and no issues. Amazon have some good deals, or should I say did when I got mine.

Depends how many holes you have to drill. I put thousands in one week in stumps under lines for Sse, we used a petrol Stihl drill and obviously can go all day with it, great bit of kit, but a bit pricey if only drilling a couple of stumps now and then. I have a Bosch 18v drill and I'm happy with it, I've had other cheaper ones in the past and killed them pretty quick.

Can't go wrong with Bosch 18 volt I got a drill with 2 4amp batteries £99.99 and later while at at a jewsons trade day got a grinder with 2 5 amp for £99.99 enough battery power for a good half day

I use a makita lxt for all sorts, copes well after two years of sporadic but hard use - heavy drilling, getting wet and dusty etc. It's 18v (I think) and the 4ah battery lasts a good while and charges quickly. Screwfix usually have it on offer in various deals for around £100, as well as a dewalt which various mates rave about...
