In the day I tried a few, they were only just born some would do 3 holes, some would do ten, depending on material, then one day i saw a joiner using an auger through 4 inch timber, I was amazed, It was an ILu, formaly black n' decker bought by the germans and renamed, they renamed again shorly to Dewalt, I bought the Ilu and was made up with it, a 10mm chuck 2 batteries and a case, £300, At the time was a weeks wage, but I had to have it,
what was your first decent battery tool ?

I used to enjoy watching DIY Sunday QVC, I got sucked in and bought a 24v battery drill,it was massive! Equivalent to a concrete braker😁 if you left it in shed for ages it still had enough power to drill brick walls!

Mine was a black AEG cordless drill. It wasnt well balanced but it did the job. Unfortunately it got pinched. 🤬
Lately Ive be using the aldi combo, 18volt hammer drill and 18volt impact driver. £99 for both with 2 batteries and fast charger. cant go wrong . Ive hung boilers and rads ,drilled showers and tiles etc. Great bit of clobber.

Mine was a black and decker pro, it was shite and I eventually found it worked better as a hammer.

My brother brought something similar and I think it was about 30v and it was a Nu-tool, took about 3 weeks to charge up  |
