Lithium cordless

[Rossi46]

How! My old Makita cordless has bit the dust so I'm looking to purchase a new cordless. Preferably Bosch or makita again. Can anyone recommend a good model they have bought recently or any good offers on at the moment?! It's a minefield picking one out and there are so many dealers on the web. Headache!!!

Thanks.

i got a hitachi one a few months back in screwfix. brilliant. 1.5 ah. two batteries. about ninety quid it was and they threw in a free torch that works with the batteries. read the reviews on it before you go for the usual makita / dewalt

£90! Sounds a bargain that I'll check it oot!

Better off getting 4.0 or 5.0 now, 1.5 is for casual diy

Hilti have just launched a 12v, might be worth having a look,

My makita 3amps do me fine like , hitashi are quite a alright make . See what other tools they do in the same batterys etc . Very handy having any power tools u use like that ..... You can get bare makita stuff quite cheap once u get a few batterys

I'm in the midst of changing from Hilti to Festool.

 

[malc]

Festool! Don't know much about them apart from the extractors.

What does the amp hour mean john? Is it a power thing? Never really paid much notice to these little details.

I had that hitachi jurek and it was very good and very light but only for private not site work. I like a drill where the battery design allows it to stand .

Really well thought out kit.

Jesus Christ Tony the Festools are expensive

The Festool drywall gun was only £400 compared to the Hilti at about £530.

 

[TonyM]

I got £250 back for my Hilti so the Festool only really cost me £150

try toolstop, probably the best value for power tools.

Few months back I bought the makita brushless twin set, Impact driver and combi hammer drill, 2x 4.0 batteries £299 from ffx.co.uk so far it's been brilliant and batteries last ages.

 

[raytheplasterer]

that is cheap!!

I think the makita gear is always up there,it's not over priced and it's good quality,can't go far wrong really.

My makita I have had since I was 16... and it is dying a death and I wanted to stay loyal to makita but a few of my friends have had new ones and they just don't seem to last anymore.

I love the look of the Hitachi one and have seen some good reviews for them but my chippy swears by festool

Has he got taurettes?

Dont know exactly what job it's for but I had a brand new milwaukee 12v 2 batteries case and charger for FREE. Just for opening an account with howdens. They had a deal at the time. It's a brilliant drill perfect for plasterboarding. Roughly £100 on eBay
I also have a 18v Makita impact drill which are beasts. Drive any screw in. Same batteries go in my Makita sds for fixing beads etc
impact bare unit £90
1 3ah battery is £60
Charger £30
I think there's a tooluk seller on eBay that does good deals on Makita power tools. Makita I would def recommend
