Just refer to them as expensive Black & Decker, that normally gets their backs up


Oh, hang on, I use DeWalt. Mainly because that's what little bro found in the skip when I was in desperate need following the "garage incident".  The proper stuff is absolutely bloody fantastic, though being NiCad, helps if batteries are reasonable fresh from the charger.

I also have a lower end DeWalt drill, as well as the XRP one, and while reasonably good, not a patch on the XRP, both in power and the fact its not an all metal chuck.

Before I got the XRP (cheers, little bro ), I'd always got out the mains drill (old skool Wolf) for heavy work, but I haven't felt the need to replace the now melted mains one, as the XRP is probably as good as it gets for non SDS.

Ooo, that reminds me Titan 5kgs SDS drill, £49 including accessories - bargain considering the 2 year warranty  Makes mincemeat of anything I point it at - includings its own cheapo drill bits initially. Adding some Bosch ones cured that, bought it for renovating the house, figured if it lasted the course I'd have had my money's worth, shows no signs of slowing down as yet.
