Milwaukee drill - any good?

[SimonG]

I paid 350 + vat for the 18v combi, impact driver and site radio.

I fully agree its always needed!
if your going for a platform to use then milwaukee is the dogs !

all the tools are generally superior to similar brands.

i haven't really found anything that beat my Milwaukee kit, maybe match it up but not beat it.

personally i would go combi drill, impact, sds, circular saw

Ooh I could get to like you !!! Lol

Ive used the 18v angle drill but i dont have one yet (i have a crappy corded one)

good piece of kit but id get it last if you have a corded one.

if you want a good cordless angle drill that can actually drill decent sized holes this is the best one available:

Personally prefer this bad boy:
Makita BHR202Z 3.2kg SDS Plus Drill 18V - Bare | NoLinkingToThis
Clutch is really nice, although in comparison to the Milwaukee you posted it's a brick, and in Screwfix's case don't think it comes with the batteries (but I already had some).

this drill is ok for fixings, its never going to be a bad boy LOL.

So is an Impact driver better for screwing etc if only for weight etc i thought combi mention 'kin combi

impact drivers are fine for mid to large fixings, light fixings like plasterboard drivers or delicate materials you should avoid them tbh. The better ones have different speeds/power levels to help avoid damage and fixing breakage. I think panasonic was the first company years back to have different power levels on its impact drivers, its took many years for others to catch on but alot of the new brushless tools have them.

I worked in the US for a while and as far as anything for plumbing goes it has to be Milwaukee or Ridgid. Its the only brands I own. You will almost never be dissatisfied with any of their products. Worth every penny.
