ok so hawera/bosch for masonry? Is it a certain range? As I noticed some of their budget drill bit packs have a poor reputation as I'm sure is the same for most budget bits. Which ranges of Bosch drill bits are good quality?

What are the best brand of drill bits, i.e. reusable many times for both masonry and metal? If they are ridiculously expensive how about the best compromise between quality and pricing? A brand that perhaps performs as good as a top end product but is sold at a mid level price point?

The website lists an 18v that goes upto 64nm but the 14.4v on the website only go upto 32nm. I'm guessing the website is either not upto date or they are moving the brand a bit down market and the higher power products are older models. Reading other forums I see its AEG models in europe and...

Current AEG models from techtronics are about 32nm to 40nm so I'm guessing you've got one of the proper german models.

Well after looking around on various forums and websites it was almost information overload. My views on Ryobi had gone up considerably. My views on dewalt had dropped a bit. Makita was the brand of choice but the model I wanted was too expensive and so again settled for a Bosch. Will be...

There is some stuff on the internet about how awful Milwaukee drills are. There are youtube videos etc. It doesn't seem highly rated by a lot of people. Even though its the same company Techtronics the Ryobi stuff seems if anything better. I don't claim to be an expert but when I did a bit of...

Yes maybe I'm complicating the matter :) Anyway thanks for all the info.

I don't have much experience with Ryobi but there has been several comments on this forum that Ryobi aren't the same quality as Bosch or Makita they are slightly lower down in the pecking order. I just know that Techtronics license the brand outside japan from a vacuum cleaner forum where it was...

This thread has definitely gone off in a few tangents. I'm practically back to where I started thinking Bosch or Makita. I'm not keen on Ryobi, AEG or Milwaukee as I'm sure they are ok products but techtronics are a bit crap for some of their other products. Hoover vacuum cleaners are a bit...

Out of my price range sadly. I don't think I'd get much for even £100.

I already have a corded drill, a near 30 year old Bosch model which still works brilliantly. Theres a bit of rust on the chuck and the plastics got a few marks and paint splashes but I've no plans to change it. Great for masonry work but overkill for smaller jobs. Absolutely no way you could use...

Silverline do similar vacuums, ideal for power tools like table saws and you can easily get replacement bags etc. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-675260-Vacuum-Cleaner-Power/dp/B000OODNDI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=diy&qid=1293708791&sr=8-3 3 year guarantee as well. Probably exactly the same...

Almost bought this one as I thought the batteries were 4Ah until I looked closer. What a con...

Hi, First time poster here and just looking for feedback on cordless drills. From what I understand Makita are highly rated. Are they better or worse than Bosch and how does Dewalt compare? When you look around the DIY sheds you can see most cordless drills are varations on just a few...
