Have a look at the Makita as well. I was using by 14v one all day
today making some wooden frames. This involved gluing and screwing
some components together with long thin screws rather carefully and
slowly. A gentle squeeze of the trigger and the chuck turns very
slowly but with good torque.

A friend has the 12V Makita, which is superb. But not quite
beefy enough for what I want.

I'd love an 18V Makita, and have a feeling I'm going to end up
with one sooner or later. But I'm gonna give the Axminster tool
a go first. One of the factors that have convinced me to do so
is their use of NiMH batteries. If they were being cheapskates,
they certainly wouldn't have included NiMH as standard.

Based on my experiences with their tools I might have recommended looking at
Atlas Copco/Milwaukee, however having just looked up the price of their 18v
combi it is astronomical - you could have 2 of the Erbauers for the price
it!
