Best brand of power tools

[Bhoydavid]

What would you think are the best brands of power tools out there in terms of quality, durability and price? Looking to buy a screw gun and sds hammer drill and just want to know of the best brands. Thanks.

Erm, maybe if you're fitting kitchens. Pretty sure they don't even have an SDS drill in their range - completely geared up for woodwork..... And they're not that dear.

Not that dear? I'm sure there mitre saw in nearly a grand

Had some of the milwaukee stuff now for about 12 months and it has been spot on i must admit. Iv got one of the 18v compact combi drill and led torch. Also have 12v drill driver and multitool which are great. Through work i had a 18v sds which is great for your standard 5.5 bits but going through concrete with a big bit it eats batteries. Makita 110v sds had never let me down.

Bought a bosch gsb for £150 from screwfix last week. Haven't used it much but I'm impressed so far. Never had anything over £99 in the past but I'm glad I spent abit more. I had this before which was ok for the light work I do but it broke after a couple of years and the battery was a pain in the arse to change.

Anything that works for you if worth it's money.
