24 volt Dewalt here too, the only thing is the batts dont last anywhere near that of the bosch's (Charge wise) - But then again the capacity of the dewalt batts are lower.

I've stripped the gear teeth a couple of times on my 24v bosch sds (If the drill bit jams put it in reverse quickly), other than that its superb.

I've had the 24V DeWalt for nearly 2 years and can't fault it. Recently used both batteries on site with no mains and had to use the equivalent Bosch 24V. The 5.5m holes seemed to take twice as long to drill, it just didn't have the power that the DeWalt did. I've never had a problem with it...it rips through everything I've thrown at it.

never owned a 24v Dewalt so can't comment. The Bosch 24v take a few seconds to make a 5.5 hole for a PIR. The 24v Bosch doesn't have chisel action though.

Dewalts are dangerous see here.

Ive had a Makita 24v for the last 3 years but its seen a bit too much action and now needs servicing. Cracking piece of kit though.

Ive now bought a 24v Dewalt DC223KA from a friend of a Dewalt rep for under

i use 36v Hilti and 24v Bosch,bosch batteries seem to last me 6months if im lucky and i do condition them,the hilti on other hand will drill all day long but at nearly

Where are you buying your Hilti's at

Halfords own brand for me

Solid enough - and cheap enough to replace if it goes wrong... (Which it hasn't)

i am looking to purchase a decent cordless drill with hammer etc, seen a 14.4v ryobi on screwfix for

Hilti 110V

Bosch 24V 3.0AH

Panasonic 18V 3.5AH Batteries EXCELLENT

Hitachi 18V 2.0AH

Hitachi 12V

Horses for courses if you need a 25 mm hole in an 18" block wall use the 110 it will kill ANY BATTERY brill
