shepp 2,285 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I have run all my my power tools into the ground in recent years, so I have decided to spend around a grand on a kit of cordless tools. I am not sure which make to go for, and as I am buying so many at once, I want to get it right. I plan to buy - Combi drill Impact drill SDS drill Circular saw Jig saw Angle grinder What make have you had good experience with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ggib 370 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 blue bosch, dewalt and makita. top notch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jacknife 2,005 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 For me it has to be Milwaukee 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
albert64 1,882 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Makita and hilti 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ggib 370 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 get the lithium batteries, they last 3 times longer than older battery technology, and theyre lighter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trenchfoot 4,243 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Dewalt and Makita get my vote. But one of the lads that works for me occasionally has a set of milwaulke, and despite him being a busy, heavy handed type they have stood up well, and some good deals to be had on sets of 'em Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noddy10 411 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I mainly used dewalt, but Makita and are good Milwaukee. dewalt is basically black and decker tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 We use Milwaukee, Hilti, Klauke and Cembre. Some of our battery kit is quite specialised, but for Drills and zip guns, Milwaukee and Hilti work for us. The Milwaukee zip gun un did the wheelnuts off the works landy. I think it's 24v 1/2" drive. Iv'e got a 36v Hilti SDS. It'll drill a 20mm hole through an wooden 'leccy pole no trouble. Thankfully, I don't have to buy them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cleanspade 3,322 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 we use all hilti . tech guns drills cutters saws breakers. crackin gear gets serious abuse and keeps on going. highly recomended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weasle 1,119 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hilti, makita. You will be doing well to get all that for a grand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noddy10 411 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I definatly think hilti and Milwaukee are the most heavy dutys gear in my eyes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bobo 135 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Look at Metabo,good gear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogmad riley 1,344 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 For me it has to be Milwaukee Second that best tools on the market. I work as a maintenance man in a steel works and have Milwaukee tools. Very robust and very capable of doing the job. I have also had dewalt, Makita both were a load of crap Bosch blue are also very good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weasle 1,119 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Depends what you want in my opinion,Different makes different tools,Hilti for heavy drills kangos,makiti for skill saws angle drills jig saws.Every carpenter ive seen has a dewalt chop saw. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
