Which Cordless Drill/driver

[kloofnek]

I want to buy a cordless drill/driver...any suggestions?
I am better buying two separate items or is a "combi" just as good?

My son in law is a professional kitchen fitter. He has 2 deWalt rechargeable drills/screw drivers on the go all the time, to my knowledge he's had them for at least 8 years and used almost every day. Can't say better than that kloofnek

No you certainly can`t,...that is a good recommendation...THANKS

[ummmm]

And my ex is a chippy and always had DeWalt.

I'd go for a deWalt or a Hilti if I had the money and wanted an all day every day drill, something cheaper would be fine for the occasional DIYer, imo.
I bought a Makita a few years ago in a sale, reduced from £250 down to £99.99, OK it's got the older type of battery, but is still adequate for a DIY job.

For trade use, Makita and DeWalt used mostly, kloof.

This is a good deal if you don't need hammer or impact.........

I keep two of these in the van, and two in the workshop. Very powerful all-rounders.

The deWalt sounds a good one,if I was a pro would go for the best but I want it just for DIY in the home...occasional jobs..however,am willing to pay around £100 even a bit more,as cheap isn`t always cheap.
