A friend recommended me this drill -
http://www.screwfix.com/p/hitachi-dv18dgl-jg-18v-2-5ah-li-ion-cordless-combi-drill/6832k
He buys them for his work, and he reckons they last as well as any (last, as in dont get broken by abuse by the users)
Id be happy to take his recommendation, but then i thought how useful a battery powered grinder would be too.... (yep, down that path)
The price of the Hitachi above seems pretty reasonable - couple of smaller batteries, charger, drill, for about a ton.
Im looking at a whole stack more money for the same in red (Milwaukee) and, if i only wanted the drill, id be happy to buy on my friends recommendation.
The Milwaukee grinders seem well regarded, and noone seems to mention Hitachi battery tools so much...
What do you think?
