Hi,

I am after a new cordless drill. After a succession of crap Aldi-esque
drills that seize/gearbox failure/get stuck in hammer action I am going to
treat to myself to a proper drill.

The wish list:

- Budget - upto £200ish (preferably including 2 or more batteries)
- Interchangeable SDS and keyless chuck
- Decent manufacturer's warranty (1yr+)
- Reliable brand (Makita, DeWalt etc.) NO: Aldi, Wolf, Black and Knacker
etc.

What it will be used for:

- DIY!
- Mainly light masonary drilling. 5-8mm brick/stone/concrete.

You don't want a big SDS drill if you are only drilling little holes, just
buy some better drill bits.

Buy whatever is on special at screwfix/toolstation.

ATM you can get a Ryobi 18v drill and impact driver with two batts for £100.
Or a Makita for about £140.

Why choose dewalt when they are just up rated B&D?
