Default Makita V Bosch

There's probably not much in it - go for the one you like. The only
thing I'd say are that the batteries are a bit low capacity for the
impact driver on both of them, so the faster charging on the mak may
be an advantage.

Oh and buy these:

being able to pop a socket on the front of the impact driver is
amazingly useful.


I'd concur with the above - either offer would be suitable for what you are
aiming to do. I like the Makita set that I have but I haven't tried the
Bosch. The Makita charge time is great and I've yet to run out of charge on
all three cells at once even on large jobs.

I presume you would be going to the Sittingbourne shop if you buy from
Axminster - would you be able to have a feel for both of them there? I've
never been in an Axminster shop so I don't know the setup.

Cheers
