New Cordless drill
Got a lot of plasterboard to put up soon and after found while
reboarding the bathroom with a 12v £30 that it didnt cut the mustard batt life and power wise.So was toying with the idea of getting a proper drywall gun but am thinking that a fairly decent drill driver will be of more use generally Current contenders in the £100ish drill drivers stake are Makita 6227 dewalt dw927 Bosch gsr14.4 Metabo BST12 Impuls And the dark horse that might make a late charge the Ryobi 14.4 drill angle drill pack If i could find some fuller specs All much of a muchness re price and torque and battery size though the dewalt and makita come with 3 batts rather than 2 for the others. Looking up batteries ( Lawsons)I found that for the same price as the bosch replacement 14.4V 1.4 Ah you can get a 12v NiMh 3Ah dewalt one Are Bosch drills easier on their batts or is there a bigger demand for dewalt ones? The Makita ones are arround the same price as dewalt for the basic 1.3Ah So if anyone else has any of these tools would be interested in knowing things like how do the battery chargers treat the batteries, battery life etc. What are the service centres like and the price of spare parts, little things like that that could swing the balance Thanks in advance Steve |
