Check out your local B&Q or focus, they have some good drills and some have two years guarantee, so wear the bugger out in twenty three months then they give you a new one!!!

I've got a lovely dewalt, BUT, get yourself a chep wickes cordless for that work, save the good drill. Then, on the weekends bully the college stuants at wickes to give you a new drill, been doing that for years, only cost me 50 quid, several years ago as well............

This is my 14V Boshh and somebody nicked it from the Tile & Stone show (Thieving g**s)




So I replaced it with this Dewalt 14v at £170 with two batteries.



Yellow is the colour of construction and so I picked Dewalt mostly for the colour match to our drill plates. I was doing a lot of demos and finished some filming for the BBC for a show that will air in December 2007. I thought the yellow would look better.

But in hindsight for overall robustness I miss my old Boshh. It might be a bit dull looking but was a better drill.

My only upside is the stolen Boshh was coming to the end of its life (used every day for 5 years) and was almost knackered. It kept sticking. Whoever took that got something that I had flogged to death.

if you like bosch

go for the new 36v lithiun ion battery models..they have no memory effect and will waltz through stone, with the right diamond bits of course???

ps how many holes should you get out of your drill bits, they look good and are very cheap, so there has to be a down side surely, you dont get nowt for nowt, even a fool like me knows thats..

crocotile we do great drills. They are not "cheap" they are "INEXPENSIVE". I will have you know that they wont last forever. They are not like Armeg and Rubi but they will give you a good lifespan.

We sell a pack of 8mm drills for £29.99 which will give about 30 holes.

This is it




In contrast Screwfix sell the same drill for £9.99 each without the drill plate.

So they are £39.96 for four. And they are the same drill. We are £29.99

We just like to be price competative. Give them a go.

You can go to the page. Click here


Still not sure we are excellent? Want 700 people to tell you first?

Ok then ask this lot

And that lot are the most demanding customers ever! - One complaint can cause havoc.
