Hi,
Im new to DIY and am about to start buying some kit. I will be using it for normal diy work and doing my garden project. No mega heavy work but not stroked at night either! I did have a ryobi but it kept sparking badly. I want to keep to 1 make and buy everything i want in that make. Im not made of money but dont want to buy crap either. I have listed below some manufacturers with my opinion on them. Which do you think is better? I am going to be buying drills, circular saw, bench saw, mitre saw, many more etc etc Almost all of them will be cordless too!
DRAPER Never touched one but seem to been around for ages
CLARKE CONTRACTER (YELLOW) Feel nice in hand and look great
MAKITA Look nice but i think overrated
DEWALT As Above
RYOBI ONE+ Good in principle but feel a little flimsy
BOSCH GREEN Look nice but underpowered batteries (1.3ah etc)
BOSCH BLUE Supposed to be best but mega money
BLACK AND DECKER Always seem underpowered?
SPARKY Look nice but are they any good?
WORX Look nice but are they good?
MACALLISTER (B+Q) Seem to be thrown together
PERFORMANCE POWER These are really cheap but look well made
Thanks
