    I have the bug seriously, I have so much stuff in my garage (Hasn't seen the car for 14 years) that I can't actually do anything in there. Tools can seriously damage your health and marriage. When I wanted to bring my brand new Makita drill to bed with me, my wife put her foot down. I went for counselling.

      Been through loads of drills
      Wouldn't buy some of the better know makes
      bosch replacement batteries and parts too expensive
      Same with dewalt.
      Drill use to last for years now I'm sure they design them to fail
      and change the battery every few years so they don't fit

      Been using wickes own brand which turned out to be draper
      they gave a five year guarantee long before others.

      Would go for lithium iron batteries if possible 18v+
      If you go for the same make you can add to collection of
      Tool like jig saw torches

      Seen this cheaper to buy both jig saw and battery than the battery alone
      It comes with a lithium iron

        Thanks, Greenthing, that looks like a great offer. But the deed is done now! I am the happy owner of a Hitachi.
