New cordless drill/driver

[aGasMan]

Im looking for a new drill/driver for work it'll be used mainly for drilling holes for radiators on external walls. What sort off spec should I look for? currently have an old (7 years) corded Makita. I would like a cordless drill for ease of use and one that will drill and drive.

Thanks Matt

Bosch Blue li-ion or Makita 18v combi. Set of Bosch multi-purpose drill bits.

sorry probably should have been more specific im looking around £150 if possible, I looked at those and they seem out of my price range. Thanks

Small batteries, but two of those should easily last a day of hanging radiators.

So you think Makita are a good brand? people have recommended dewalt and bosch to me - though couldn't find anything by dewalt comparable to that Makita

From what I'm told, yes.

recently bought the drill and recip saw combo for £433 + VAT really great tools. I have too much hilti stuff to list but once you have it you won't be satisfied with anything else.

You can tell a lot about a man by his drill!
