Well seeing as no-one can tell me where to get prescription inserts for Rudy Projects & there's loads of advice on bog seats...I now need a new drill, seeing as the stepson's worn my old B&D one out after about a year of constantly scrubbing rust off car wheels with flap wheels!
So, need a hammer action, reversible, variable speed. Budget about £60-80. It won't get loads of use, I'm giving him the low down to get his own.
Man up and go SDS
Something like this ere [url= http://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-d25013k-gb-2-3kg-sds-plus-hammer-drill-240v/63649# ]De Walt[/url] should cope with pretty much most situations
been using [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003UES78A/ref=asc_df_B003UES78A8932382?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B003UES78A ]THIS BOSCH[/url] drill for years it's never let me down yet , in fact mine must be ancient as it's got chucked jaws on it unlike the one in the link.
Hope this isn't a total hijack but I too am looking for a drill in the same price bracket, but a cordless one. You will gather I know SFA about drills so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks guys.
nice bosch on attached to my bottom bracket.......wanna borrow it? 😉

If it's for occasional use I'd say stick with a corded job.
I have a pair of Ryobi jobbies with nicd batteries. They're pretty much useless now because they didn't get a lot of use and the batteries just die.
Because I like toys, I started buying decent kit and now have Makita 18v li-on stuff. Unfortunately you start paying serious/silly money ([url= http://www.screwfix.com/p/makita-bhp451rf-18v-3-0ah-li-ion-cordless-combi-drill/48855 ]like this[/url]).
Unless you're aiming on doing things seriously and NEED cordless, buy a decent corded job. It'll be a better long term investment. - carlosg's link should be good.
Bnq did an 18 volt bosch li ion cordless with 2 batterys ( smallish capacity keeping it light to work with)
Its been a corker for me
Got a bosch corded drill also i bought previous that only really comes out now if im doing alot of drilling into block work.
Its previous life was flapper wheeling a land rover chassis and it did that well.
Sds really is the bollocks for stone , borrowed my dads 24v hitachi sds gun - makes light work of 20mm holes in stone 🙂
