    Hootsmon,

    You could do far worse than get the blue Bosch range...an absolute crapload of torque, batteries that charge in about 2 hours and robustness in a well put together tool.

    I bought this very drill for work a few years ago and it was $350+ so $19 at Bunnies makes it a steal.

    Just make sure it is the blue one and not the green one...the blue ones for memory are made in Switzerland where the green ones are a bit chinese rubbishy'.

    In saying that I have an old 7.2 volt bosch drill that weighs nothing that I tend to use for assembly because you can hold it all day without getting arm fatigue that my 15.6 volt Metabo gives me...

    Good luck and remember you can't have enough cordless drills (I've got 6....)


    Cheers,


    Scott in Peakhurst.

    I got 2 Ryobi cordless, keyless 14.4v drills. One of them came in a pack for around$60 from Bunnings a while back and came with 2 batteries so I got 3 batteries between the two drills. If you are only doing light work, you dont really need super heavy duty drill and I agree 2 are better than 1. I use one to drill the pilot holes and one to screw with.
    You will be able to buy 2 drills for around the $200 mark and you can spend the rest on some drill bits. I wouldn't go for key chucks, not necessary. Good luck in the sales.
    Reality is no background music.
    Cheers John

    I've been using a black and decker firestorm for a few years now at my work and i find they're the best because they're so pratical. I had a $600 hitachi which i bought a few years ago and one of the batteries died out. The batteries cost like $80+. No point spending that much on a new battery when the firestorm cost me only $50 (bought it on ebay. That didn't have any batteries though, but i bought 5 firestorm batteries on ebay for $100. That will last a lifetime)
