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

i cant fault the dewalt or makita stuff but think i got my heart set on the Milwaukee

best gear is makita by far

It's all gd, milwaukee sold it to me as no1 else had it I worked with and 3 yrs on tools and 2 on battery's if registered online. And in good weeks I add to it .

i do find that I could replace combi with a 12v driver as I have sds

But it will break first before I change it.

I've got the Dewalt XR range aswell now, No Faults what so ever. Great kit. don't know about all this going down hill stuff is about.

Used to have all the makita 18v li-ion gear, but they can ram it. after my 5th battery went faulty, I'm not buying it anymore.

Which one star? There was a design flaw they have fixed now. Had same batteries a year and there fine

Like many on here I've been through many different makes and currently on Makita 18 volt, batteries fit many items.
i went hitachi for a while which was ok BUT, if it goes wrong it has to go back to the factory, mine was away for 2 weeks whereas Makita is mended at your local dealers
i was on dewalt years ago and hopefully it has improved as we found it pretty bad

Hilti all the way - yes, it's more expensive, but the 2 years free servicing is well worth the additional expense. 22 volt stuff is fantastic.
