Some of you may recall my various adventures in the world of combi
drills, in my long search for a quality tool. My last purchase, an 18V
green Bosch has now been returned due to a failing motor bearing, and my
new tool has arrived. It's an 18V Makita. It's lovely. And it came
with a free mini TV!


How much?

£280

Comes with a nice charger and 3x 2.6Ah NiMH batteries. A lovely Rohm
chuck, and superb speed control.

Please don't tell me how many PPPoos I could've had for that. I didn't
like spending that much money on a handheld tool but I've wasted too
much time messing about with Erbauer, PPPoo, Axminster (White) and Bosch
(Green). It's my most frequently used tool, so needs to last.

By the way, out of that list, the Erbauer was probably the best in terms
of battery life, torque and speed control. But *nothing* compared to the
Makita.
