My drill gave up today, so looking for recommendations for a replacement, do I buy a well known brand of brushless or go for anonymous make from well know site beginning with A
I use Argos own brand of Guild and swear by them. Have drills,one for caravan legs another for use in garage, circular saw, planer and sander all excellent.
I've had quite a few "bargain" drills over the years and none have lasted all that long.
Current drill is a Black and Decker 18v which has lasted about 6 years and still going strong.
My Black and Decker, batteries are NiCads 18v, if we go away for a week then I have to take the charger with me, no real problem except another kilo of weight. I bought a Parkside 24 volt drill from Lidl li-ion battery, for about £30 light and just right for the steadys.
I use a Parkside (Lidl) cordless screwdriver. Lighter than a drill, more controlable, and recharges from a standard usb socket. I had to get my steady winder machined to 1/8" (same as a standard screwdriver bit).
I do a lot of DIY and use a Bosch 18v drill/driver. It's quiet compact and can drive a 6mm x 150mm screw into a fence post no trouble. It has torque control which I have to remember to set low when using it on the steadies otherwise it will jack the caravan up.
