I am looking for a small 10.8v impact and drill set. The impact driver for mechanical use and drill for light use, i.e fitting my kitchen. I have seen the Makita set for around 125 quid , but have also seen the Draper set for £75. The specs are a bit thin on the Draper set but the only comparison I can find is that the Draper impact driver has 98Nm of torque ant the Makita has 90Nm of torque. On the other hand the makita has 1.3aH bats and the draper 1.1 Amp batts. A;so seen a youtube where the makita kills a bosch on drilling power so don't really know what to buy.

You also need to look at things like type of battery and charge times. If it's just for the one kitchen the Draper may suffice but at nearly half the price of the Makita set it's not going to be the same quality.
check the charging time
do not use an impact on small screws no8/4.5mm plus an impact is a brilliant tool but is difficult to tighten small screws without stripping the carcase
check the charging time for the draper suspect it will be 3hrs
i personally have the bosch 10.8v kit and cant fault it the newer impact is much more powerfull than the older one so perhaps the have compared it to the old one
remember you can get an angle drill driver with the bosch

I've got the AEG set. The drill is OK for little jobs but does stall easily when you over-do it. The impact driver is fantastic. 6 inch screws straight into solid oak. I even use it on the car with a 3/8 adapter. About £130 including fast charger.
As above you need a fast charger as they get through the little batteries pretty quickly.

I've got the bosch too. I couldn't live without it now.
My mate has the makita one and to be honest there's very little between them, except his is physically a bit smaller.
