    Looking to buy a cordless combi drill, hammer drill function especially for home DIY.

    What would you recommend around £100?

    Currently thinking something like this;

    Screwfix have a (Blue) Bosch combi jobbie with 2 x 1.5Ah Li-ion batteries for £100. I think it would probably be better than the Ryobi.

    Shop around and you might get a Makita or DeWalt combi for that money. 2 small betteries better than one big-un for DIY use I reckon.

    The Ryobi will be fine for light to medium DIY, they do better batteries as well meaning it’ll last longer. I have three Ryobis (cheaper to buy a drill and 2 batteries on offer than additional batteries). I also have a monster Hitachi cordless which cost a fortune, it’s fantastic but it’s the Ryobis I grab first.

    You should be able to get a proper makita lxt from screwfix or online for around £100. Well worth it. Very nice drill to use and noticeably better than the diy level drills. Do not buy that ^ b&q makita. It uses non standard batteries

    I’ve had those for getting on a year now, I’ve absolutely hammered them, using them most days and they’re still good. You won’t go wrong with them for diy.
    Edit: I have the impact driver as well, invaluable peice of kit that’s well worth having.
