yeah i know i need one with a clutch matey, im not asking for the ins and outs of what the drill needs so much - as to which one you prefer or have used, so far the outstanding nominees are.... marcrist DD2 and the milwaukee both 300 squid. as for the bits i will prob go for marcrist no offence to ryobi :cool:
 
hello m8, right wot the other guys said was right (ish) as u can see from my name i am linked in that power tool industry right that said here we go, The company u need is silverline they have everything u could ever wish 4 and more all at the cheapest price in england they have all the brands at proper knock down prices all u need is a credit card and a computer silverline.co.uk. NUF SAID I WISH U LUK.:D
 
ive used a bosch 24 volt battery drill for over seven years now same batteries advantage of this drill is the sds chuck. going back to something with a normal chuck for masonary bits takes you back 20 years
i regulary use mine for up to 25mm drills and a 30 mm core bit which covers ninty nine percent of jobs two chucks means you can have a masonary in one to hang a rad and spade bit in the other to drill floors for pipes
sds bits last for ever and never slip(the drill has a clutch in it )
ive got a makita core drill for flues and vents and two small 12 volt makitas drill and driver with three batteries use the driver all the time for screwing clips and on boiler cases and the drill mostly for small stuff like drilling flues for the self tappers the advantage of usin 12 volts is there smaller and lighter for everyday use

personally i find the 18volt combi drills fail in all ways too big and heavey for most stuff and not being sds the dont realy drill that well due to slippage on the chucks ok for chippys who need to screw lots of framing timber

my makitas are about five years old now and the batteries are getting a bit past it so will replace next time i feel flush with li on but will definatly stay with small
 
I agree that 18v drills are too ***berome for most jobs. I have a Makita 14.4 combi drill, and old Bosch 24v SDS I bought from a guy who retired, and a Hilti SDS drill with clutch and chisel function which does cores and chases out walls.

Get a clutch drill large enough to easily cope with 110mm holes for soil pipes.

Agree Milwaukee, Makita and Hilti are best. Hilti clutch drill with chiselling function best Swiss engineering and will last for years if you look after it.
 
Deinately go for a good brand name, do not be tempted by cheap stuff that probably imported from god know's where. ALthough the golf clubs from China seem quite good!!!!!

He will certainly need it with Silverline who's main competitor is Fisher Price.
