Not only will you only be doing quick draws but you'l also be doing them in front of a mirror before doing the "robot" dance! I've more chance of waking up skinny in the morning than you have of going all manly and making thing's (and its not 'modern art' if you just end up with a heap of junk and glue it together)
😉

see you tomorrow!

whilst a hammer drill will (eventually) get through masonry, even with a 10mm bit, the speed of them compared to a corded SDS drill is shocking. I reccomend all you doubters to borrow one and have a go - I've both an excellent 24v battery drill\driver and a SDS drill and there's really no comparison. You can also use it with chisel bits

Remember, it is not the man who chooses the drill, for it is the drill who chooses the man.

Metabo have a 3 year battery warranty as well as being nice tools. Important when you look at the price of replacements, especially Lion ones.
And it rhymes with Haribo.

Beware some of the screwfix offers,
Makita drill = good
1.3AH batteries = very bad

Man tools!

Not too much expeience but after wearing out a few doing up a shack - if I had to pick one to do anything "proper" around the house then a corder version - even a cheaper one. Once comfortable / wealthy - a cordless is a nice luxury.

On the other hand for general diy this is a godsend:

Instant changes from drill bits to screws to hex keys (think removing 6 bolt rotors, quick sand with wire brush, screw back in etc) all with no unscrewing etc.

I got a used set for under £50. Even at this price its a great box of tools. Used mine loads.

1.3AH batteries = very bad

not necesarily! mine are that. I have 3 of them, and each one last quite a long time. but having a couple of spares on top of the one you're using is good in that you can always cycle them through the charger and just keep going. Using a single or even two higher capacity battery you have to wait a while for it to charge/finish charging before putting the shot one in...
