Help choosing a new cordless combo

Shrek said:

I'm looking at getting a 18v cordless combo. I want a driver/hammer drill, impact driver, torch and maybe a grinder

My question is what brand to get? I would like 3+ amp hour batteries, I can't decide between AEG, makita, Milwaukee or dewalt.

Can any of you guys help? I'm from Sydney Australia if that helps

Milwaukee :thumbsup:

Welcome aboard..:thumbup:

I would go with makita

Any reasons for and against? I haven't used Milwaukee or dewalt but I want something I can punish and still go ok

Milwaukee m18 fuel uber alles. Though m12 is good too. :whistling:

My vote goes to Milwaukee.

Black & Decker

You ever see the B&D 20 volt stuff, down under?

B & D? Is that for Buy and Dispose?

I have various milwaukee M18 and M12 tools and there is absolutely nothing that I haven't tried to do with them. Every time I pick one up it amazes me.

Milwaukee. I've never owned a Default or a Mosquito.

So where's the cheapest place to buy the Milwaukee combo?

Anyone like the Panasonic gear?

My first drill was a B&D 24 volt hammerdrill $99 bought it in 2001. That served me well for years. Gave it to a younger coworker in 2010. He used it for about a month. Got some drywall dust in the motor and it locked up. He said the batteries were still strong.

Just before i gave it away I bought a porter cable 18volt for $135. That still runs great as well as the impact and 4 tool combo kit to go with it.
Batteries are still strong and they do everything I ask of them.

From where you are I'd say metabo.

Why metabo?

Because they are great tools. They are hard to find here(some are impossible to get) and if it was not the case, milwaukee would lose a lot of sales.

M18 Fuel! Cry once, when you pay for it, and be done!
