cordless drill

[chevy3755]

Santa has asked me what I wanted for christmas and I said a cordless drill 18 volt......so which one should I suggest..........

Milwaukee would probably be my choice at the moment.

I really like my Makita stuff

Have a look and see what else is available in the range for different makes, you might want to add a jig saw or impact driver a later date for example and save money by using the same batteries.

I have a load of old Makita 12v stuff, combi drill, sds drill, torch, 1/2" impact, planner and radio (though this will run on different batteries)

I like Makita as they have a local stockist, when i had Dewalt stuff i ended up doing around 160 miles taking something back under warranty so local is also something to consider.

I like my Milwaukee 18v tools. They have a ton of stuff out in 18v so at least look at them.

Bosch will give you more for your money (especially L-Boxx combos), but Milwaukee is best these days.

Showoff! =P

It does look great, but not many cordless Fein tools in the USA to share batteries with.

Ridgid from Home Depot: Free batteries for life.

I am stuck with mostly Dewalt (don't get me wrong I like them very much); but Milwaukee is the wave in which most people are going these days. My problem is I do not want to keep buying different battery brands with different battery chargers, in time it gets rather confusing.

Today while I was the at the Home depot the milwaukee tools looked very nice, although the fein look great I sure the cost would kill most people and the free Battery from ridged is a good deal if YOU DO ALL YOUR PAPERWORK AND CROSS YOUR T"S AND DOT YOUR I'S and then send it in on time!

I have a Porter Cable too..... but I prefer the Milwaukee.(it's lighter)
