Cheapest Makita...?

[sythai]

My Makita impact driver has finally given up this week and 24v sds nearly gone also.

Time for an upgrade I think....

Just wondering where cheapest place to buy Makita is these days...? After some Lithion 18v gear

Thanks,

Sy

if the 24v batts are still good get yourself a bare drill off the bay they are about 70 brand new

Think batts are knackered also.............. done well though, been cained solid for 5-6 years

 

[Phil]

bang the batts on the bay seen some nackered ones do 20 quid each on there and then the drill and box seperate should give you a bit towards the new one, better than the bin

Or just buy Bosch

I agree with this man, i bought a bosch 36volt 5 years ago with 2 lith batterys and it still kicks a big punch. and a little 10.8v bosch hand driver with 2 lith batts are brilliant for screwing all day long.

Yep it's all going on the Bay.... sold loads of old crap on there over last couple of years, got an old 12v drill and angle drill which have been sat in garage for ages, so might make the effort and stick it all on there next week, we'll see what happens.

Still no one out there that can recommend cheapest Makita dealer around then please....?

Or best/biggest power tool retailer....? (sure I read before about place called D&N tools? but dosent really bring much up in google?)

Cheers,

Sy

Hiya mate, i've had some cracking deals from ITS london and Anglia Tools, always shopped online, cheapest places i could find. Just upgraded my ol Makita stuff to Lithium Ion.

Still looking mate?

You can get a lightweight corded Makita from Anglia Tool Centre for just under 90 quid; reliable and packs a punch

Try here for corded

If you want Bosch (IMO the best) these things are the shizzle:
Bosch GDR10.8V-LI 10.8V Li-ion Impact Driver (2 Batteries)
Recently reduced to £110 probably because there's a new model out, but with this one even though you get 2 batteries and a 30min charger, I find one battery will last pretty much all week.

I used one of these and I didn't think it was a patch on the 18v Makita impact.

I've not used the 18v Makita myself, but I expect the extra power brings with it more weight, size etc.

The ultimate 10.8V drill driver, best cordless I've ever bought, my Hilti drill driver is now the back up drill
