What £100 Cordless Drill?

[iamrcb]

I need a new cordless drill on the weekend to fix flat roofing insulation boards and for internal plasterboarding.

I've had a string of cheap cordless drills (£15) but all seem low powered and quickly run out of juice.

Can anyone recommend me an excellent quality cordless drill (drill and driver)for medium duty work, maximum budget £100.

There#s a huge range in price from £40 to £400 all with a range of voltages from 9v to 18v

options so far:

B&Q is worth a look for special offers. I picked up a nice Makita 18v twin-pack (2 drills, 2 batteries, 1 charger) for £99 a few weeks ago.

Thanks, If they have them in stock then I may pick this up tomorrow

I bought an 18v Makita combi drill with 2 1.3ah ni-cad batteries from B&Q for £99 (less 10%). More voltage and more amp hours = more cost, all the ones I saw were beyond my budget

can you simply replace the supplied 1.3ah batteries with a higher spec battery replacement in the future? (from same manufacturer)

seems a whole whack more powerful than my previous cheapies. i'l be giving it a work out on monday.
