I probably use my cordless more, but the corded is essential. It can do all the coreless cna do and more. If you have no drill I would always advise a corded first and then a corless second. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

The corded drills in that price range, from dewalt, Makita and Bosch, are all about 650watt, I'm not sure if it will be powerful enough, I resorted to using an old 500watt drill yesterday, and was absolutely pathetic with a holesaw attached. Audi s4 b5 - 470bhp & 486ft lbs

Im not that impressed with my Ryobi. The chuck cover has come of, the grip is uncomfortable and I have to put my finger in an awkward position to get full power. My sister in law used it for a bit and got a blister (small girly hands like you Benny). On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

I would like a nice cordless, but its the power/torque that I'm unsure about, doesn't help when my drill and grinder need replacing in the same week. Audi s4 b5 - 470bhp & 486ft lbs

This one looks a good buy, but how much is 44nm torque in a drill? Enough to drill stainless?

The reason I say corded is that when I need to drill a wall or use a hole saw then battery drills are not really upto it unless you spend the money.

That's what I mean Ben, that is the sort of thing it would be used for, which is why I wanted a high powered corded one, no fuss and just munches through steel, my budget I am limited to 650watt, I would like one a bit more powerful tbh, maybe I need to up my budget Audi s4 b5 - 470bhp & 486ft lbs

I have burnt out 600W drills before, but my 700W Bosch has been good for years. Edited by Ben H on 2nd Aug, 2012. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

Just been and bought a Bosch 850watt corded, first impressions, excellent, build quality is good, everything has a positive feel to it, goes through bodywork like a hot knife through butter, either with drill bits or holesaw.

They are a very good drill i had one one of those, sold it to my brother when the lithium set came out with impact driver, never use mains any more no need, will cope with all your DIY and the mini, Im with the rest dont wast your money on a cheap battery one.. Alan
