I’m after a new cordless drill for general household duties.
Last one I had was a Bosch which was fine but battery never held charge for long – then I dropped it and now it’s fubar’d. Got a heavy duty drill for masonry etc.
Any recommendations/deals to be done at the mo?

It’s not dull. It’s boring.

Very good Cougar 😉

Makita 10.8v is cheap and very good. They also do a 3/8″ rattle gun and a torch which uses the same battery.

Anything half reasonable now will be li-ion and ‘should’ outlive the body…
That’s been my thinking anyway – I’ve got a Bosch professional 18v with metal 2 speed gearbox

Jamie – do you have model number? Cheers

If you look you can get the body only for 30 odd quid

Btw the 10.8v rattle gun is probably the best tool I have bought. Genuinely one of those how did I manage before type deals. Perfect for motorbike stuff. You will need a 1/2″ one for bigger car stuff

Works, Argos
Brilliant or the money. Great battery life, great chuck/head bit. I’ve used mine regularly for months while renov’ing a house.

Nice one boxelder – looks a cracking drill for that price – one reserved and pick it up later 🙂

I’ll be finishing fitting a kitchen with mine tomorrow.
