Im quite happy with my Ryobi kit.. originally bought after loosing my rag many times with a cheap 4v driver and a mains budget drill.

Can get the drill/driver and two batteries for under £100:

I have this one:

Linky

And it works very well. Comes with an extra battery so it is never out of charge.

Get a mains drill, unless you work on site it is the best option,

£50 will get you something that will outlast , £100-150 battery drills 2 or 3 times over, especially as you want a hammer facility which really saps the power.;);)

Come on Bri - where's the link for an SDS drill then???

And don't forget - the main purpose for the initial purchase is to screw down decking.....

I don't think he said SDS drill just a hammer drill, although probably like you I say go SDS, but that will come later for him.

Russ, I see the bigger picture, ;) OP has a job to do for now, flooring or decking or something, but given he wants to hammer drill in future, and the drill will be flat when he wants to, then it's a corded drill all the way.

Of course folks are polarised on this, that's more or less what the OP wants, pro's and cons.

I'll see what I can find for that £50ish:D.

And yes, he will have to spend 2quid on a screwdriver:rotfl:

Plenty of Bosch drills on ebay for about £53, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131173167461?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT but having had similar to this for about 15 years I'd go with this

I also have a wickes own label that is at least 25 years old, and a Toshiba 110v that has to be over 20.

Just to show I use both, my own Dewalt battery drills, I have 3, are now about 8 years old and just 2 bats out of 6 replaced, all my Bosch battery drills have been junked

For screwing then an impact driver is better than a drill. It depends on the ongoing use though - a drill is more flexible in use.

Makita 18v cordless with batteries and charger can be got for around £120. Used by trade and built to last so easy to sell on if you want as well.

Both of the above will work as screwdrivers.
