Bit late posting this as I have already bought the tools... but what are
your thoughts on DeWalt tools?

I know at the current time DeWalt and Makita are meant to be the 2 premium
tool brands - but are they that good?

I just bought this:

http://www.screwfix.com/prods/28105/...Drills/DeWalt-
Drill-Driver-14-4V

Which actually was very good value when you compare prices, it seems well
built enough

and this:

http://www.screwfix.com/prods/14303/...DeWalt-DW340K-
240V-Hot-Air-Gun;jsessionid=05ETWN3X2CGWECSTHZOSFFY

which again is quite cheap - its also an absolute beast in terms of size
compared to other heatguns I have used

overall then what are your thoughts?


I bought a 14.4 Dewalt about ten years ago. It has been thoroughly miss used
and abused including repairing a damaged oak fence about 20 foot long using
three inch screws. I am very happy with it much better than the Black &
Decker stuff. The only problem was when I dropped it and damaged the
battery.
