thanks thats the one i have been looking at. Think its crazy though that at the minute its cheaper to buy 2 drills than a drill with a spare battery

 

[Roger Welton]

I know, I could do with a couple more batteries, crazy prices though. Not sure what the e-bay knock off ones are like

screwfix are selling 1 18v li ion combi drill, 1 battery charger and case for 150 and seperatly 1 18v li ion battery for 150. both are 3ah.

both are good drills, imo the dewalt is better with 3 year warranteee.

I moved away from DeWalt a while back, now mainly use Hitachi which I love. Just yesterday ordered an 18v angle grinder (specifically for Grant baffles.....yaaawn). I have a Milwaukee 28v drill but hasn't lasted well.

interesting about the milwaukee mate as just had two people reconend it to me on another post. Is it the battery or the drill thats failing?

 

[michael c]

Had both Dewalt and Makita drills in the past and I've just splashed out on the Dewalt combi and impact 18v 4.0ah set which i really recommend, it also comes with a decent carry case with compartments to keep bits, the case also has an air release valve fitted on it which I have no idea why (anyone?).

Recently bought the DK18000 Makita 18v kit with combi drill, impact driver, 2x 3AH batteries and a charger... All in all an excelent box of kit for £298+VAT.
Much nicer than the DeWalt kit I'd been using previously...
