I just showed you a bosch with a 4ah battery for less than £150 on plumbfix

Yes and when you buy a second battery it will be a 200 plus drill.

I looked at that drill, but I just wasn't sure about hitachi, I've always bought bosch tools.
good torque though and I noticed it now comes with 5ah batteries

I had hitachi years ago 15 or so and it was very expensive but very good.

I was introduced to Hitachi some 5 or 6 years ago when a friend of a friend was doing some rewiring of my house. He was using an old 24v Hitachi and didn't that go through the walls like they butter.
After being let down by my last AEG drill and disappointed by Dewalt I decided to give Hitachi a go.
Impressed so far.

Had a radial arm saw and collection grew. It's all in my dad's hands now tho !

Same as most makes hitachi make some decent tools and some not so decent tools. I've never been sure about the quality of there battery cells in recent years. I had a hitachi 24v sds drill 12years ago, it was prob the best cordless sds I've owned for different reasons and I currently own 5 other makes.
