Hey all, sorry havent posted on here for ages been away plus busy lol

just as the title really preferably looking at a dewalt really but open to others

I love dewalt but then I love makita!

FIGHT

Screwfix got an offer on a xrp 18v lion atm that tempts me severely.

On the makita/dewalt argument, all my dewalts have lasted until stolen, whereas workmates makitas fail at about 4years...

You may need to tell us what your using it for?

Is it for putting up PIR's or making big holes?

Sorry people should have added this, already have a dewalt cordless sds drill for the more heavier jobs so mainly just need a smaller one for putting up pirs making normal holes, but still want to have some oomp lol

ok, lol as long as you dont love your tools more mate,lol

The old man got given a new 3 speed dewalt model - dcd925, used it a few times and love it lol. might see what the 1 model down from that is

Also people not to sound like an idiot but what is the difference between a combi drill and hammer drill? - i know the hammer has a hammer action (all my drills have had this anyway)

I'm glad you brought Hilti up first...

I replaced a 10yr+ Makita Drill and SDS with the Hilti 22V equivalents a few years ago. Darn fine kit, but very expensive.

I did insist on the Theft Prevention System kit, that cost a bit more but well worth it. Batteries are matched to the charger - that will only charge on presentation of a valid keyfob. Hence, if the kits are nicked they appear duff. Hilti also track serial nos on their kit.

I know nothing of other ranges, but if you pick dewalt it must be an xrp version, lesser models dont cut it imo. My big drill is a bosch 24v, and i use a 12v dewalt for smaller jobs. Both are quality, the bosch is coming up on 10 now, dewalt is 4

As above really-36v Bosch and 18v dewalt xrp 3 speed, burnt one Bosch out drilling a rook of 6" cores out, but I had had it for 7 odd years, bought the same again so now got 4 Li-on batts and two chargers.

Have a look at the millwakee drills, expensive but top quality kit.
