    Drilling through roof joists.

    Hello all, I've recently built a outhouse, and when I wired it I drilled through the roof joists, as going round the perimeter is a pain.

    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?
