Cordless screwdriver

Sponsored Links
My staff wore one out in a few weeks, so the gearbox and motor were noisy jerky and too week to undo anything or do it up.

Might last a diyer a hundred years though.

I use a hilti 14.4 volt impact driver as a screwdriver now. I do have a little Makita impact screw driver with is pretty good, and has stood the pro use test in excess of that little Bosch toy, but I only carry the hilti. I haven't had a single hilti tool fail, and I have a sea of red in my various cellars and stores.
 
ideal for assembling flat pack furniture and small holes in wood
nothing else :LOL:

if you want to drill holes in walls and masonery the you need a hammer drill
have a look at ryobi

By the way how do you rank the aftersales of each of the company? I mean is there any company if something goes wrong they will provide a quick replacement?
 
Bosch have a 5-day turnaround guarantee on their Blue (professional) gear - you call them one day, a van appears the next to collect, they have your tool on days three and four for assessment and repair or replacement, and on day five either the repaired tool or a new one is returned to you. Three year warranty too :D

I used to own a few DeWalt tools before I became wiser (they all broke down a lot and eventually went in the skip). It was quite normal to be kept waiting for 2 - 3 weeks, and they wouldn't collect it either, you had to take it back to where you got it from. Utter rubbish by comparison
 
Thanks eveyone. After reading this i am thinking of going for the Bosch GSR 10.8v Cordless screwdriver.
Anyone got any opinion about it? Or better suggestion?
