What 18v drill to go for

leestocks · May 24, 2013

Hi guys and girls

My 18v milwakee drill burnt out today when I was drilling 50mm holes in trunking, so Im in the market for a new 18v drill driver. Does anyone know of any great drills or of any drills to avoid.

I can tell you to stay away from milwakee, I never liked the drill from day one, slow, weak and only lasted just over a year.

Many Thanks

up to you fella...but one thing i have found with hilti is that even if your drill did blow up.hey will never charge you more than 30% of the original cost of a new one.for example.i bought a brand new 36v te 7a hilti drill £740...after many years of battering it and i mean really battering it,it finally died on me.i took it to my local centre which conveniently is in cardiff :0) they sent it away,i had it back within 2days fully rebuilt.good as new.so i effectively now have a brand new drill for £150...in my eyes thats a good deal :0)
