Recommended Posts

Morning All,

 

I need to get a new cordless drill, one that can do everything, although no major masonary drilling, and a decent price. Screwfix have got some pretty good priced ones, but what are your opinions/reviews? 18v or 24v, Lithium Ion battery?

 

Thanks in advance

Beezy

Makita LXT 18v Li-ion are the dogs *****. I messed around for ages with cheep makes until i got fed up of batteries wearing out running out of power miles from home etc etc etc.

 

In my opinion as well much better than the dewalt ones ( i have used both).

 

You can also get circular saws, jig saws etc etc that use the same batteries.

i second that, or if you have the money look at hilti, you can only buy them direct from hilti and they are seriously built to last and withstand the hardest abuse

We have 2 boxes of them. We have the main drill and the impact driver. Can never fault them. Brilliant pieces of kit.
