My 24v portable drill went pop while ago and have always used makita or dewalt but now looking at milwakee 18 v drill

i here these are the badgers nadgers anyone confirm this?
 
Yes yes and eer yes. The latest sds is a freaking monster. The warranty is top shelf my old one would Bop out a 24mm hole in concrete . But new one will suck up 28mm without a sweat allegedly. If you can afford buy the fuel gear. Once you've got one you won't go back. Buy two kits - tool batt and chargers then just bare tools that will do for ages. The area light m18 is brilliant.

I always speak to dave at toolmonkey . Posted same day and cheep cheep

my milwakee 18v is a couple of months old on offer at jewsons, bit heavier than my old bosch, twice as good though.
 
Not tried the new fuel milwaukees yet but i have owned almost every make. without condsidering the fuels i would put the bosch 36 volt drills at the top of the list based on price and performance. yes even the little one. If you want the best on the market then go for the hilti monster at about 1200 squids. The standard milwaukee 18v sds is very good, prob the best 18v sds ive owned.

i was going to buy the new m18 fuel big daddy sds drill but my van got broken into and i had to spend the money on new hand tools, but if i have one from from santa ill do a review of it.

i own:
bosch 36v sds
bosch 36v compact sds
milwaukee m18 18v sds
milwaukee v28 sds

i have owned/ had stolen:
dewalt 18v sds (li-on)
hitachi 24v sds
dewalt 24v sds
milwaukee 12v sds
bosch 24v sds
makita 18v sds (li-on)
panasonic 12v sds
