    18v li-on combi drills... Makita or DeWalt...

    Choices to make... All with 2 li-on batteries... Makita (£139) Dewalt (£149) Hitachi (£99) I've heard not to go near the Hitachi and the price tends to suggest it might be a false economy but if anyone has one please feel free to correct me... What's the general Dewalt vs Makita consensus?

    ALDI SDS Drill bits

    ALDI are currently selling a set of three 1m SDS drill bits, 12mm 16mm and 24mm for £10. Not something I would expect to use much and not something I would expect to be great quality, but for that price I think worth having in stock.

    2, 3, or 4 kg sds drill

    I've just killed my second makita 2kg sds drill in two years. I'm not using it as a breaker, just chopping in boxes and light chasing (I have a chaser), you know, just the usual abuse a drill would get on site. I'm starting to think that a 2 kg sds isn't man enough. What does everyone else...
