Sep 28, 2017 - When choosing a cordless drill, there are a few things to look out for. Makita DHP484RTJ 18V Combi Drill: £269, Power Tool World.

STAR is communications technology that monitors conditions during use, allowing the tool and battery to exchange data to protect against overloading, overdischarging and overheating. If STAR detects conditions that threaten to overload, overdischarge or overheat the tool or battery, the tool will automatically stop. At that time the user can either restart the tool, change or charge the battery, and put the tool back to work.

When you slide a Makita 18V LXT® battery with the STAR symbol onto a Makita tool that has either the STAR symbol or a yellow terminal, you are benefitting from STAR Protection Computer Controls™. XPT™ Extreme Protection Technology When the job takes your Makita tool into harsh conditions, Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) provides added protection. XPT™ is a series of integrated seals engineered to channel away dust and water for increased durability. Wherever the job takes you, Makita tools equipped with XPT™ are engineered for increased durability and longer tool life. Do more with less. The Makita 18-Volt LXT® Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless Impact Driver (model XDT15ZB, tool only, battery sold separately) is a fastening solution with significantly less weight. The 18V Sub-Compact Impact Driver is part of a new class of compact, with the size and weight of lower voltage tools but with the performance, power and compatibility of 18-Volt.

The expansive breadth-of-line of the Makita 18-Volt LXT® Series means an 18-Volt battery from any LXT® tool will power the 18-Volt Sub-Compact Impact Driver. The XDT15ZB has an efficient brushless motor with two speed settings and dual L.E.D. Lights illuminate the work area. The innovative Assist Mode (A-mode) helps eliminate 'screw cam-out' and 'cross threading' by driving at low speed until tightening begins, and is ideal for driving longer fasteners. At only 5-5/16 in. (with battery, sold separately) it is a fastening solution with superior comfort and handling. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT® system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion batteries.

Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

Hi all, So, Im about to move into my house first house which needs rennovation, as part of it I will be knocking down all internal stud walls and rebuilding them from scratch. I already have a drywall screwgun thingy My cheap ass old portable Drill has just broken. What Im trying to decide is whether I need an impact screwdriver in my life, or whether I should focus on just getting a good portable drill? I know impact drivers are supposed to be ace for studwork, but obviously theyre a good few hundred quid for even a semi decent one and Im just wondering if its worth the expenditure or whether just spending £100 or so on say a Makita portable drill would be a better way to go as I am trying to keep expenditure down.

Im also struggling to think what I may use it for after I have erected the studwork as from my understanding they can be abit too heavy handed for assembling cabinets etc! Any thoughts? Many thanks Grangey. Impact drivers are fantastic. They will drive in screws that a standard driver just won't touch.

Well worth the investment. Only downside is the noise. They are incredibly noisy compared to a standard driver and I do get a lot of complaints from my customers so if i'm working in a terraced house I tend to lean more towards my drill/driver instead.

I've got the Makita Impact which i bought with a high end Makita combi drill, all in it was £350 with 2 x 3.Ah Lithium Batts Tax deductible obviously in my case. Click to expand.I may have made that recommendation!?!?

I have the US driver + impact driver version of that set and I love it. Living in a timber framed house in the US I do far more screwing than drilling and if I need to drill I purchased a or you can get a selection of. The impact driver is brilliant and they are both so light and compact that it makes using them a real pleasure. I do have a set of 18V DeWalt too including hammer drill and impact driver and these are for the jobs the 12V just can't handle.

If you're using normal size wood screws (upto 4') into softwoods then the small versions will great but if you want to drive carriage bolts or 8' landscaping screws then you'll need something more powerful.Not sure why they list this as for an impact driver? You could use it for that but I'm not sure how many drill bits would benefit from the impact action!?!? Not saying this as I have the Makita Kit (I don't have any brand loyalty) but I would avoid Dewalt Cordless tools, they really have gone downhill. I know a lot of tradesman that have had big problems with them.

Might be OK for a DIYer so you could be OK. Make sure you look into what you're buying first- the 1.5ah batteries in the link are very small so this is how manufacturers try to sell their products for seemingly fantastic prices. Batteries are often more expensive than a naked tool. Not knocking Dewalt entirely, they make great Chopsaws, I've been through a couple and can't fault them.

Hmm ok so I really need to think about ordering this pretty soon. Thank you for the recommendation on DeWalt but clearly there are some split reviews on this- I also wonder whether 10v is going to be enough?

I really am clueless with this kind of stuff so if someone can tell me if the 10v versions are going to have enough grunt for errecting new studword and everything else needed in a house renovation I would be grateful- it may be worth me mentioning that downstairs I have concrete floors which I will need to attach batons to somehow incase that makes any difference! Ive just noticed Wickes doing this cordless makita drill but again cant decide if its worth it or not. Thanks Grangey.

Click to expand.Forget about a combi drill for drilling into concrete or even screed. You have two choices, either an SDS corded as mentioned or a battery powered SDS drill which will set you back an arm and a leg.

In my opinion, you should buy a decent corded SDS, a decent impact driver for your stud work and a decent battery drill for general drilling into timber etc. If you want to take it a step further and are looking at a more complete package as you expect to be doing a lot of DIY then I suggest you just bite the bullet an get a monster kit.

I think someone has posted this already but the ideal is: corded drill + impact driver + drill driver I would say the corded drill is a must because of the power and and also time saving changing from drill bits to driver bits.

I managed for years with an old fashioned £20 corded percussion drill and it lasted me through 3 house re-fits and many days on site. I still have it in my shed as a back up. An SDS is obviously much better but not essential given your budget. It will however give you the option of using a chiseling setting which can be very handy.

Although an impact driver is a brilliant tool again considering your budget I would personally go for a cheap corded drill and a drill / driver but not a combi one due to the weight. There is obviously a weight penalty over an impact driver and you gain a bit of depth (from the base of the drill to the drill bit end) however you will gain flexibility and quietness. You can even buy bits for drilling into walls without requiring any hammer action ( Bosch Karat ). They are extreemely usefull for those late night DIY sessions where quietness means you can work on a bit. Most work I do has my corded drill set up for drilling into walls and in my case a combi set up for pre-drilliing wood and fixing the screws in. I could managed just with the combi but the frequency of changing bits makes having two tools pretty much essential in my book.

Edit: forgot to mention: if you are concerned about a drill driver having the torque to completely nip up a screw into concrete a ratchet screwdriver ( right angled ) is another must have tool in my view. They are about £20 and will enable you to tighten and loosten screws in places you never dreamed of.
