New drill

[finchy01]

My old ryobi has finally given up the ghost on a job earlier so I need to invest in a new drill. I deadly want an impact driver too but budget is extremely tight. £200 for both ideally but I don't want to buy cheap (although my ryobi has lasted 8 years). Is there much difference between 10.2/12v and 18v? Any recommendations as I'm swaying toward makita at the moment.

18v for me.

I'd rather pay a little more but in the end you safe ... as above - 18v for me

B&Q had a Makita set in last week, 18v hammer drill & impact driver

I pay more attention to amp/hours, than voltage. No point in having something that only lasts five minutes. Before it need re charging.
