Best 18V cordless drill for around £150..

B&Q was doing the Makita 453 with two 1.5A batteries recently for £130. Don't know if they still are....

Indeed, and I almost bought one. But then I got a rush of blood to the head and ordered a BHP458 for double the money

Makita BHP453SH 18V 1.3Ah Li-Ion Cordless Combi Drill on the Srew-fix site, is going for 99 quid at the moment. Don't know if that's a good price or not, to be honest!! lol!!

I was looking at that 18 volt Stanley fat max drill last week, seems a bit of a bargain for £99 with a 3 year warranty.

Has anyone tried one?

I was of the same opinion for several years, ....until i tried the equivilent Milwaukiee!! Makita are now definitly my second choice. If you get the chance, try one yourself, ..but you may just end up buying it though!!! lol!! ...Dam things are niegh on bomb proof too!!!

buy im aprenticed to has had a milwauke since 2007

had nearly daily usage since then.

2 batteries have died on him and one of them is running fine the other is starting to die


but 3 batteries in 5 years is not bad.


(other two were from another drill that someone broke somehow)

and its had nearly daily usage/charging for last 5 years

AEG is as stated before by others made by TTI who make Milwaukee, AEG and Ryobi, the AEG is very good stuff, it's basically the forgotten sibling, everybit as good as Milwaukee but as the other 2 brands get pushed harder AEG gets overlooked, well worth the money.
And thats not just coz i sell it lol

Check specs. The higher the nm the more powerful the drill
