Which drill would be best? Sets on offer in B&Q 14.4v or 18v

evilgoose

Hello, I'm looking at a cordless drill for doing some rewire work on my house (i'm helping out my electrician).
I've got a corded SDS hammer drill so a heavy hammer action isn't vital.

B&Q have got two sets on sale at the moment. Both Makita and in plastic carry boxes.
One set consists of two drill/screwdriver with two batteries in a carry box 14.4v for £79
The other is an 18v Drill with something like a 60 piece accessory set. for £99

Is it worth going for the 18v or for the two drill set?

many thanks

Do you really need the accessory set.???

You already have the corded SDS hammer drill.
On balance .. i would go for the £79 set

See what offers screwfix are doing first. If you are just using it as a screwdriver id go with 14.4 but it will probably only have a 10mm chuck so if you want to use something like a hole saw you will need the 13mm chuck which will defo be on the 18v.

used them both in the past, the 18v will have more torque, 2 drills are handy if you want to use say, one with a drill bit and one with a screwdriver bit without having to swap
