Hi all
Relatively new to install work having been heavily biased to boiler service and repair for the last 12 odd years.
I have some powertools, which I've used for the odd install or upgrade, but am finding myself stuck, often, with what I currently have.
So I'm after advice.
I currently have;
Makita 8406 core drill
Bosch GSR 10.8v drill driver
Black & Decker 18v combi drill (look I'm sorry...)
No name circ saw
No name small recip saw
The core drill I'm fine with, and to be fair the little 10.8v bosch is decent for pilot holes and driving for boiler fixings, but the rest, I am ashamed of, and it's appaling.
I don't take up that many floors, yet, so the circular saw isn't an immediate requirement, but a consideration for future purchase.
Things I HAVE struggled with....holes through joists for my pipework, drilling 10mm masonary holes (cordlessly,core will do it but no use up a long ladder) and driving anything longer than 2" and 10/12+
I guess i should maybe invest in a serious spec 18v combi drill and work my system of tools up from that? So recommendations gents, which system do I buy into? Bosch? Milwaukee? Dewalt? Makita?
