No RG only been with them 5years .
the brushless models run cooler, ive got a Makita brushless and it runs cooler and for longer than the older version on the same batteries (body only tool so they were not new batteries that i tested it with)And what's your views on getting the brushless model? Or does it not make much difference
the good thing about the new ones is they cut out when they get too warm, let them cool and there fine.Makita all the way for me. Great array of tools, same battery, which you can get in 3, 4 and now 5Ah versions.
I burnt out a Combi drill cutting massive holes in I-beam webs, but I worked the nuts off the poor thing, and it still lasted 3 years bless it.
Ordered another as soon as I smelt burning plastic.
Don't rule out hitachi.
? a 5ah makita is £99 3ah are £50.I'm a makita fan all my power tools are makita, always have been
However last year I burnt out my cordless (holesaw too big, my fault!)
And I had to get another asap ,
So I went to screwfix and bought a dewalt 18v brushless etc, and I think its performance has been as good as the makitas with the plus side being the batteries are a lot cheaper eg 3 AH is £50.00 versus £120.00
Ok my bad, I haven't had to buy any for a while! this was a price I was quoted last year and having bought replacement makita batteries previously I knew a pair or trio were usually more expensive than sometimes buying a new drill!
i got my local shop to pricematch toolstopI've had 2 of the 3ah makita batteries fail on me n I took them to a local tool shop and had them replaced on a warranty claim each time, they took the old battery off me and gave me a new one there and then, that was back when they were 120 quid a pop
shanky - where did you get your 458 from? I'm tempted on one but I've seen the 481 and want that but it's 140 quid body only

? how did it fail after 6 months?Makita for me aswell, had the makita 458 combi but it failed after 6 months of use and I need some new batteries so bought theMakita DLX2040MJ set with 2 5amps batteries been. Looking good so far.
looking around for a new drill as mines bust....
anyone brought anything from these before looking at possibly getting the dewalt?
