Bosch professional or dewalt

[Rooky007]

Ive been looking at getting a new cordless drill but not at silly price but there appear to be Dewalt and Bosch professional at reasonable prices but which is the better make?

 

[G.s Glazing]

Wow, another thread about drills!

Bosch I would imagine as I hear dewalt are just pimped up Black+Deckers.

Bosch has great after sales service - my drill broke last week and they sent a courier the next day to take it for repair.

 

[Pestilence]

Totally Bosch.

Neither..............................go have a look at Makita. Will certainly outlast anything DeWalt make and are just better built than almost anything made by Bosch.

+1 for Makita, premium price but worth it

Ok will have a look see f can't find one for £150

Is it still the case that DeWalt is actually Erbauer internals in a yellow casing at a massive markup?

 

[Maccapacca]

Makita

No they are Stanley black and decker

To me , Makita always looks good.

Just save the money and get the bosh. Really won't notice any difference. I've got a few Makita tools and a bosh grinder. Tbh there's not much in it. All are well made.

Not really no. DeWalt took over Black and Decker..............who a few years earlier took over Elu.
DeWalt's Entire cordless range and some of it's powered range is a direct result Elu's development in the 1980's.

If Elu still existed it would very interesting to see what could be available now.

EDIT: Either way, Makita was always better than Elu...........................and still knocks everyone else sideways.

I bought a drill from Argos for £15.

It makes holes. Said holes work as intended. Why spend £150 on the same appliance unless you're a professional (in which case, you probably don't need advice)

DeWalt, they are used, abused and sometimes loooooooooosed In our place but on a whole they work when asked. Make sure you have spare batteries though.

Why pay more?

How round are your holes.

If you want to make another hole in a years time - how confident are you that your drill will oblige?

What if I AM a professional? In what way could the holes drilled by your bargain machine be considered 'Unprofessional'?

Please excuse me whilst I re-evaluate my life...
