​I used to think the same but my 10v is a tad bit less than a makita 18v. which is a real endorsement.
I easily use the 10v ten times more than my makita.
also try doing plasterboard on walls and ceilings with a 18-24v over the 10-12 V ones and you'll be onboard with the idea real quick!

i have this particular model and trust me it keeps up with alot of 18v alternatives. great build quality and light which helps if your doing a big job for example putting a fence up.

of course it has it's limitations like anything, really depends what your doing with it.

Noticed there is another thread covering the toolstation discount on the whole range, but think this deserves its own thread as its the only one really worth pointing out.

TWELVE volt ? Isn't that a bit....weak ?

Cheers for the reassurance ! :laughing::wink:

We have a couple of these in our workshop and they are superb. I personally use Bosch and my workmate uses Makita and we both agree that after using the Milwaukee's they are better.

£24.99 very similar and possibly better

!2v, not the most powerful but would be great to have as a second drive with screwdriver bits in, so keeping your main drill with the drill bit in. (no swapping bit as you work).

Good point made.But there is a BIG range for the Makita, while no range to compare with the Milwaukee. Still decent of course but more like the companies sales pitch than actual comparison, no offence intended. :smirk:

I moved over to Milwaukee a couple of years ago having previously used Bosch Blue/Makita. No contest as the Milwaukee are better in every respect. The 12v has enough torque for everything I've thrown at it and is perfect for overhead and restricted access working. A decent range of battery capacities are available. The quick charger is particularly effective.

Of course your 10(.8)v is a 12v, its just a marketing difference

we have 2 of these at work and I have to say these are amazing! holds charge forever and as long as your using quality drill bits it can go through anything

absolute bargain

I have one of these, I had though it was excellent quality, but the torque adjustment ring on mine is stuck on one position. Apart from that, really fantastic, even for small jobs drilling into stone, with the hammer action. Also one of the most important things with any make of drill is the battery charger. If you have a rubbish charger which takes all day, then it makes the whole drill a lot less useful. These normally come with an excellent one hour charger.

I was about to pick up a top end brushless Erbauer tomorrow-

How does these drills compare? would 12v keep up with the 18v erbauer?

TALKSPORT5 Knocks £5 off

They are different drills really. The Erbauer is a bulkier drill, but has more power and a brushless motor theoretically lasts longer. That said Milwuakee are a top end brand, and you pay for that, same deal as buying a DeWalt.

Small drills like this are great for smaller jobs, easier to carry around and nicer to use. But if you are going to need the power and longevity on each charge of the Ebauer then go for that one.

I think most people WOULD be using around the house reading this
