what drill?

[Paul.M]

Personally I don't think so.

That would be the way to go. Not worth buying something you could potentially be provided with (job dependant!).

righto resu ... didnt think of that!

10.8v it is for now!

Excuse me. Do I see bitchiness in the TS? I hope not.

Not sure you read it right Paul? Certainly wasn't meant to come across that way?

I didnt take it as bitchy at all Paul ....

If i did he would have known about it!

 

[Paul.M]

Sorry gents, it just seemed a little bit sharp. If you were having a laugh I apologize

 

[newtothis]

We have both and the 453 is a toy compared to the 458.
Good choice.

Thanks, sorry for not responding sooner

A 10 volt drill is a mistake IMHO, a mickey mouse toy, get a 18 volt makita and have the right kit

I don't agree. They have a place and as has been mentioned it will cope with everything he needs it too.

A decent 10.8v is a cracking bit of kit for driving screws and drilling pilot holes... If you can only have one drill though you need to have something with a hammer function as well so you have to go for a 18v Bosch / Makita or whatever.

Had an email from screwfix today with a canny deal, 18v Bosch for £99 with a 3ah battery

Care to expand?

The 10.8 is fine for using as a screwdriver on limited quantity work, for a real bit of kit the 18 volt Makita is much better, the 10.8 for the cost is not IMO worth the purchase price, it is more like a domestic household driver rather than a trademans kit, I have owned nearly all of them, the 10.8 a mickey mouse drill, JMO.

Fair one, I forget that as I pretty much only do maintenance work I probably only really need a screw gun! Having owned both I do prefer the blue Bosch to the Makita for the 18v stuff buts it's all down to personal opinion

 

[Guest77]

fair enough pal, I have a preference as well, the Bosch kit is pretty good also.

 

[Marc Lajevardi]

what would yous recommend for a decent and more so decently priced sds? thought i would stick this here rather than start a new thread with a similar topic
i love my 18v makita drill but its not fun when it comes to walls, also, is a wireless sds really worth the extra spend?

 

[newtothis]

If you already have batteries and a charger.
They're not too expensive if you buy it bare unit.

True, the 18v Makita SDS can be had, body only, for around £120. Depends what you'll be doing with it whether it would be suitable or not though.
