amazing how no one has mentioned Dewalt yet. I have always grown up so to speak, on Makitas, wouldn't dream of parting money on drills that have been built and designed by primarily entertainment companies that make tellies. I can just imagine their tech team now all scratching their heads at how a drill even works and what sort of common caveman would ever dream of picking one up and violating a wall with one.

If i had the cash, id love Bhp458 but having given some of the Milwaukee drills a go, i was pretty impressed with their durability, build quality and grunt, although a little heavy, not ideal for downlight work.....freeze your shoulder right out

well for a start..
them 10.8 volter makitas are allrite.....
or theres the makita li-ion 18V.....best about in my opp.....
36v sds.....again makita.....
their the best drills about by a country mile at the mo are makita....
a lot of my stuff is corded though (110V)......
just watch it though wont you with the hiltis......i dont like the way the battery interfaces with the tool.....i`v seen a few of em that suffer this......
durafix are another good un......like the 12V li-ion......you get the rattler and the drill.....more power for the same size as the bosch/makita 10.8 volters....
boschhammer are a good un n all.....the bosch 36v is smaller and lighter than the hitachi.....and is a better drill n all.......you can go one handed with em
(knockout boxes).....wheras the hitachi is no good for ridin shotgun over any length of time....

 

[dim_bulb]

I have 10.8 Bosch for screw driving
Makita bhp 458 for light drilling
bosch gbh 36v for chasing/drilling
These are all you need
Im a bit of a tool freak
