hello all its time to replace all my power tools (110v and battery) i have had dewalt for the past 8 years but im thinking of a change, any one with any ideas on quality of Bosch, Makita, Dewalt and Milwaukee.
Phil We moved from Dewalt to Makita at work and Makita have definitely been more reliable. Good deals out there as well when you shop around.
power tools hi,you cant beat makita,mine take a lot of stick on site,i am a joiner and would only buy makita mainly because they are reliable,and they have some good offers ,
I have always had dewalt from becoming a joiner 15 years ago and they have never let me down on site. My personal opinion is that the quality between makita, dewalt and milwaukee are much the same and it depends on what suits your pocket and needs at the end of the day.
I have hilti 36 and 22 volt drills we also have 110 stuff at eork and they are unreal Used bosch dewalt makita and milwaukee also and would have to say 1 hilti 2 milwaukee 3 makita 4 dewalt 5 bosch Imo
Lad in work got his milwaukee set 18volt drill and impact driver from city elec factors had a good deal Hilti is hilti only manchester and liverpool are closest i think Everything else is pretty readily available
i have several teams of site fitters and the tools get used hard for screwing drilling and jigsaw's makita for chop saws rip saws & routers dewalt we buy most stuff from here http://www.itslondon.co.uk/ you may find some items a bit cheaper elsewhere but overall they are the best we have found :wink:
