Hi everyone,
First off not sure if this should go here, but seemed like a good place at the time
I'm in the market for some DIY hardware, drills and routers. Not because I dont have a drill or router, but because it's such a big pain in the rear to change bits repeatedly. Put in bit for pilot hole, drill pilots holes, put in counter sink, drill countersink holes, put in screwdriver bit, screw in screws. This seems fine to do it once, but you rarely only do this once when building something like a speaker/cabinet or what ever. Then you need to flush router, and then you need to round over, setting the exact depth can take a while, now you need to cut out a circle, and round over again. Enough to drive a man mad and buy all the drills and routers in a hardware shop.
I've been having a look at the Cordless Drills, and see that Makita BHP454 and Ryobi P203/202(which seems to be replaced by the Ryobi One+) really deliver the goods.(not sure if we get the same ryobi here, the ones I saw is yellow) They are LI-ON battery powered.
After looking at the price for the Makita though ouch, it's a bit much for a drill without a battery or charger
Any recommendations on cordless drills, or should I just stick to corded? Max 2k, and should include charger and a battery preferably 2, the above mentioned two does a fair bit of screwing before they need a charge.
For the router, I'm looking for something cheap, but should be able to take a 1/2" bit.
