Dewalt or Makita?

[gravy]

Always had Makita since starting out but this new LXT lithium ion set i have at the moment is utter rubbish, they have a well reported fault in the design of the battery (have lost 4 in under 2 yrs) will be trying milwaukee next as i have heard good feedback.

Has to be Dewalt for me, it matches my company colour scheme

Blimey Bri, you wouldn't lose that in a car park. My parents had an old Citreon GSA that colour when I was a lad. I have a de walt battery drill, only got one to justify carrying my de walt radio about, otherwise I'd take any de walt, bosch, makita etc on offer when I needed it, but if money was no object then I'd have festool all the way, got their big jigsaw from when I did wood floors here for a while, love it

When I first started out I had a Bosch green cordless drill and thought it was ace! The Dewalt I have now is only an 18v 1.3 but is about 100 times better, got it when they were half price in B&Q.

Had it for a few years Mark, had a few V6 mondeos that it used to go on.

Best advert I've ever had John, had a yellow Astra before this, good at getting people's attention! It's had a little makeover recently, I'll get a couple of pics the next time I wash it.

A bit more chrome and shiny stuff added! Wheels have been refurbed in silver, looks better I think.

Hey folks. Looking @ a couple of combri drills and wondered which your choice of these would be?

Also could someone explain difference between Nicad & Lithium Ion?

Dewalt
Makita

With budget in mind any other recommendations greatfully received.

Thanks in advance

Have a look at the Metabo LTX range you want ever be disappointed and reasonable priced and 3years warranty.

The jobs neata with makita
Quality gear paid for itself many times over, the lxt gear is worth the dosh over any other brand,
Build & quality / price ratio is unmatched by any in my opinion
