Discuss Which is Best Dewalt, Bosch, Makita etc in the Talk Electrician area at ElectriciansForums.net

I've been having a look at these recently, they do feel like good quality.

I bought this set in November last year and I really like it. I recently bought the 18v sds to go with them too. The l-box carry case is good as they just clip to each other, they just get heavy quite quickly. I think i got the combi and impact from blue power tools and the sds from ffx, who seem to have a lot of good deals. Got a fein multimaster from there too :)
 
Milwaukee for me inter changeable batteries I have an 18 volt SDS which power wise is the equivalent to a 24 volt top quality tools
 
I've been using the same 36v Dewalt SDS drill, Jig saw, reciprocating saw, chop saw, drill/driver & skill saw for 7 years and found them all well built and tough enough to stand the occasional drop from height but they are heavy owing to the big chunky battery. Only the 24v chop saw has given up the ghost owing to dud batteries. I was looking into trying to get this to run off mains via a suitable transformer as the batteries are expensive at 200.00 a throw.

Recently bought a couple of 4.0Ah Makita batteries, 18v SDS & Impact driver to go with my Combi. Seriously impressed with all of them, especially the SDS. Easily keeps up with my Dad's 24v Boschhammer, and the batteries last twice as long.

how often will you need to use it? Would renting one from a tool hire place be more cost effictive... and might give you an idea of good brands...
