18volt combi drill & impact driver which one ?

[Antonakis]

Hey people,

Im looking for a new combi drill & impact driver

I have see this dewalt set that I quite like,

http://m.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-dck285m2-18v-4ah-li-ion-twin-pack-combi-drill-impact-driver-xr/62046

2 4aH batteries should last a while.

but I'm not sure what's better Makita or dewalt ??? What's better in your opinion ??? What lasts longer and takes a beating better ???

the Makita equivalent set comes with 3ah batteries

Or for the same money is there a even better make ?


cheers in advance people

Just recently bought a Dewalt 36v sds drill -£500 and only one battery wtf?

Bought myself yesterday a makita DHP458, charger, battery and case for £150 brand new, lovely powerfull drill, if a little on the heavy side. Got the baby makita 10.8v combi and impact as well a few months back and both are great for lighter work.

I had Dewalt XRP drill for years the batteries died decided to get a new drill

Dewalt #1 new XR wobbly chuck went back two more off the shelf both the same
then I tried the bosch LI18 drilled about 15 joists and 5 holes on hammer then smoke poured out of it that went back!
didnt want to go for makita as everyone on site has them and its like a free for all on batteries and chargers sometimes.
So I thought no more messing Milwaukee really impressed so far have had it for a few months and a good price for the twin set battery life is good charge time less than an hour and built like a tank and does the job.

20min charge time for makita batteries. Who waits an hour?

Mark up your batteries and charges then no one will mistake it for theres

18volt combi drill & impact driver which one ?

Its a pretty good set, ive also got the dewalt sds for concrete. The drill failed on me once when i knocked it off the steps but striped it down and a piece of plastic jamned the motor. But still wrking fine. If i had the money id definetly go for the milwaki stuff.

MILWAUKEE!! That stuff is amazing

What he said. I am very pleased with my Milwaukee 18V drill. The recharge time I hear is slightly longer than some other newer designs, but it seems to make no difference to the job. Though I am fan of Makita gear as well and have an 110V drill and planner both very good too.
