Bought a dewalt 18v drill/driver as a third cordless to see what the hype was all about and it burnt out within 4 weeks so threw it off a scaffold!

Never again! All my stuff is makita and Bosch As they have the best motors and also look the best

At Screwfix, the cordless Dewalt drill with the Ni-Cd Batteries is £99 and the one with the lithium battery is £149. Plus you get two batteries with the first one. So, isn't the first one better value for money?

As long as it is the exact same drill I'd get the cheapest one.

I am sure Li-ion batteries will become cheaper eventually

@ultimatehandyman oh deffinatly worth buy if you get two Li-ion batteries they about £90 each

I bought a 18v Dewalt drill on ebay that was advertised as not working. It came with 2 Li-ion batteries, charger and case for £100. When it arrived there does not seem to be a problem with the drill, so well worth it just for the batteries!

@ultimatehandyman pretty expensive though ive looked in screwfix machine mart there about £80 for charger but worth it ;)

@MrBurnTec

Yes, they are very good. I have started to replace my old Ni-Cads with them ;-)
