Need a new combi drill

[Fruffy91]

OK guys my old drill gave up. Went up in a billow of smoke and everything was actually quiet impressive.

Am looking at these 2
Ryobi R18PD7-0 https://uk.ryobitools.eu/diy-power-...rewdriving/percussion-drills/r18pd7/r18pd7-0/
And
Makita https://www.wickes.co.uk/Makita-DHP...-With-101-Piece-Drill-And-Driver-Set/p/101047

Can anyone with a bit more experience give me some help please at to which is better or can suggest something else different? And still getting used to this diy business.

Many thanks

do you have any cordless tools, once you buy into a cordless system, it can become cost effective to stay with the same system.
Would you be buying an impact driver as well. often useful to have both?
& this is for DIY use
I purchased the bit set when i purchased my Dewalt set, but i would not choose a make based on that bit set, its often offered for around £20-30

I own a few ryobi tools already and they all use the same battery so ryobi it is!. Never personally had a problem with the brand had a tool bust up on me a while ago and they replaced it with a new one, no quibbles at all. OK let me refresh the question.

Whats the best ryobi combi drill they make to purchase?

Take your pick.

Personally I use Milwaukee, but then I rely on my tools for my work.

Whats the best ryobi combi drill

There is no "best drill".

Do you want to be holding a big heavy drill for the jobs you will be doing, or do you need a big heavy drill for the jobs you will be doing?

Conversely I've not relied on Milwaukee

This is pretty much the discussion I had with our last apprentice. It's all very well having a massively powerful, heavy combi drill, but when (in his case) you are going to be drilling 20 times as many 3 and 4mm pilot holes as anything else and won't need to drill heavy steels for a few years, is there any point to having a big 'un?

I just want to make sure am buying a quality item. As its going to be my workhorse of diy everyone needs a good drill right . Just want to be making sure that it can handle most jobs thrown at it. I understand there is certain jobs that require more "heavy duty tools". What I mean is if I need to do a job here or there I can pick it up without having to worry about if it will do the job.

I went from Bosch to Milwaukee due to the fact that Bosch do not have a charger that can work off a cigarette lighter socket. I emailed Bosch and they told me to buy an inverter.

I find Milwaukee to be the best cordless drill out of all the other brands I ave owned. I have tried all off them.

Bosch 12v Combi drill then, that will do all DIY tasks
