Hi,
My father, who is a Which? magazine devotee, is looking for a cordless drill, but only has a 2007 review to go on.
Can anyone recommend anything?
The Feb 2007 review recommends the 18V Makita 8444 DWDE3 and 14.4V and 18V Metabo BSZ Impuls, but I've looked on their respective websites and realise both manufacturers have a huge range of drills.
He wants it for any eventuality - drilling in wood, plastic, metal, maybe brick, as screwdriver - and something that will last a long time, although not be used too often and not for professional work. It's for after retirement and he may go up to £200 - it all depends.
From what I can gather, 18V ones seem to be the best for any circumstances and Makita and Metabo seem to be the brands used by the pros.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
