I am looking at buying an 18v drill and impact driver set, what do you guys all have and recommend? Also what kind of price did you pay.

Also I keep losing my screwdrivers so need a new set. My current ones are Stanley and to be honest I haven't been overly impressed with them. What sets do you recommend?

I don't bother with expensive bits. The boxes of 20 dewalt for a few quid are so cheap they're disposable and the life/cost ratio (cost per screw) is better than expensive bits.

No I don't, I wouldn't dream of holding a dewalt "tool". They're for kids aren't they? ;)

Milwaukee's bits arn't rated high enough for their own impacts.

Only wera and dewalts black impact range are!

I think I will end up with a Milwaukee fuel 18v set. Its more than I want to pay, but seeing as I don't intend on buying these items again for a fair few years I may as well go with the best ones available at the current time. Just need to hunt down the cheapest place for it now.

I'd go for the fuel kit. But that's cos I'm a PT addict.

Go down to Rex Crystals in wakey and see what they can do. Or have a look at FFX

Just had a look at that Rex crystals that's the cheapest I've found yet. It says it come with two battery's but I also says you get a free battery, not sure if that's an extra battery or that is part of the two you get? I'll have to email them

As far as I'm aware, you get sent a special link where you register the tool warranty and get a free battery sent to you. Not sure if the promo is still running though
