Can anyone recommend a good all-purpose drill for DIY around the house?

I’m currently renovating my new house, and I’ve got a fair bit to do, so we’re talking drilling various materials (wood, masonry etc.) plus plenty of screwdriving. I’ve seen some combi drills that look good, but I don’t want to be spending a fortune really, got enough to spend on the house!

Should I be looking for a good brand like Dewalt or Makita? 12V, 14.4V, 18V? Is it worth spending the extra on a Li-ion battery? I was hoping some people in similar situations could give me some advice? I’ll be using it quite a bit in the near future but the obviously as the work gets done it’ll only be now and again.

Thanks in advance,

David

Everyone that uses cordless drills regularly has one that they think is best. For the amountof work you are doing, the “good” brands are probably a good idea.

My personal favorite is a Bosch 14.4 volt. It is a tough drill with a lot of power, and the battery holds a charge longer than most.

Consider that you may also buy other cordless tools in the future. Shop for them as well at the same time. If you get he same brands and/or battery size, then the batteries are interchangable .
That is why 14.4 v may be the right size. Not too big but it has a lot of power. Dewalt, Makita, Bosch, Milwaukee, etc.
they are all good.
Ni metal hydride batteries are good too. Just not as good as Li-ion. Stay away from Ni-Cad batteries.
