Thanks for that. There pricey aren't they?

Thats what I was referring to earlier - all the top of the ranges of the professional tools are very expensive. Expect to pay near £400 upwards for a combi & impact kit with 2 batteries. I am not pushing Hilti, but their prices are much cheaper than the above Makitas.
Dont worry too much about the amp hours rating of batteries as this only means how much time the battery runs - it's 'fuel tank' capacity if you like. A 3 or 4 amp/hr will last long between charges & all are same power output
 
The reason I say 4amh batteries is because there's a noticeable difference in run time between our dewalts to the makitas
 
Metabo are VERY GOOD tools but thermal protection can inhibit them.

that Bosch drill recently got voted the best 4 pole drill ever seen.

the dewalt kit is becoming ever more popular plenty of guys here use it and love it.

in fairness your not going to go wrong with any of them and unless your an oath you'll never truly exceed their limits in day to day use.

your far better off picking a platform you are comfortable with tools these days get you hooked on one battery platform once you buy one tool seeing you have the battery you'll buy their body only gear bassed on that. Get to a shop and hold them feel what's comfortable just don't rely on b and q etc they aren't the quality you'll find in proper tool shops
 
Where's best to go in the Midlands? Screw fix don't really have a wide variety
 
I can't seem to find an outlet for power tools that's local. I'd like to be able to have a proper look at various drills and drivers.
 
Best place is toolmonkey at Leighton buzzard for price. The do liver.

450

Will buy u an sds drill and a driver easy . Perhaps not the top spec but a decent one.
I wouldn't try to buy the top of range just buy best u can. Ryobi one and the aeg kit is ok if on bivey
 
There was a melbros and a timber merchants that had 1000's of power tools in. Only place that stocked the two sizes of estwing lump hammers - which I promptly bought!

Take it the lump hammer is for the W.B. Boilers?
 
Toolmonkey don't seem to have a lot of drills on line at all really? Surely there's an outlet somewhere?
 
If only there was a sort of search devise thingy on the inter web that you could just enter a question and it would give you a page of results

I sense a hint of sarcasm lol. I have actually asked my old chum Google to no avail.
 
Finally ordered my drills. I went for the Bosch set. I also picked up a 240v Bosch circular saw and a makita hole saw set. Very happy with the price from FFX. plus I may be eligible for £35 cash back from Bosch lol.
