My dad's old Dewalt 12v cordless drill is on it's last legs, both batteries coming to an end after 16 years!
I'm now looking to replace it and it will be used mainly for DIY around the home, drilling into brick, concrete, plasterboard etc.
I'd rather spend the extra and get another drill that will last another 10 years so I've been looking at Makita this time. They do a lot of different models and i'm just wondering if it's worth while going for a brushless motor?
My next job around the house is to fix a wooden board which is just above my garage door which has dropped a little bit. I need to put some screws in it to fix it in place so I have to drill through the wood and into the concrete/brick and maybe metal lintel above. Would an 18v cordless drill be up to this job? Or do I need something more like an SDS drill?
