I've got a 24v boschammer sds, had it for 5 years and its still going strong, superb drill, it makes mince meat out of anything i put it too

has any one one tried the 36v makita just asking because was looking to get one of them if any one has got an opinion

Makita 36v have had serious issues with reliability.
It may be that they have overcome this now but until i hear different i would steer clear.
Would love to hear if anyone has one and if they have had any issues with it

Bosch 36v lithium-ion,drill,hammer and chisel,fast charge,you will only need 2 batteries,does it all,very reliable.they are a good £500 new, try ebay maybe,but always ask seller why selling,incase they are selling junk/broken,firm im working for have 10 and none have had any bother in 2 years of hard use,just what i have used and i trust it,2 year warrany,no memory on battery cells,li-ion good as can charge any time,years of use.YOU WANT 2.6AH BATTERY AND LEAVE COMPACT VERSION ALONE AS ONLY BABY BATTERY ON THOSE.BOSCH HAS 3 JOULES OF IMPACT ENERGY,NOT SURE ON THE REST,MILWAUKEE SIMILAR I THINK

Good drill. But unless it came with 3.0ah batteries I would leave it on the shelf.

had the bosch 24v (x3), then the makita 24v (3 amp/hr x2) ).
have to say the bosch is a serious work horse. my no. 1 choice.
lithium iron batterys have upped the cordless game big time but your gonna pay for the "latest and greatest".
is a new drill really worth £500 quid? personal choice, at the end of the day but a hole is a hole..... Ni cad, lithium...............bla bla
