Hi All,
My old man has asked for a drill for his Christmas and suggested a £50 Cordless B&D 18.8V.
However I seen a MacAllistar Lithium from B&Q for £80. Its a bit more but the best I have seen for Lithium. My dad is not a builder or anything like that, just needs it for odd jobs round the house so does not need the DeWalts or Makita drills and Bosch just seem really expensive and not as good as DeWalt.
So My question is - if you had the choice of a drill with a normal battery and one with a Lithium battery what would you choose?
Also what would make you go for it?
Lithium seems to be the way ahead as I believe the battery life is a lot better than with a normal battery and the charge time is dramatically reduced to 1hr charge.
Are there any other adv. / dis adv.?
