The chuck on my cheap and nasty Aldi drill/driver has shit itself. First
the chuck wouldn't let go of the drill, I stripped it down and was
surprised to find that one of the major components was plastic. Now it
comes loose while drilling.

So I need a new 18v drill driver, the best buy that I have found is this:

https://www.totaltools.com.au/152150-bosch-18v-1-x-4-0ah-hammer-drill-kit-0615990j4d

I like that it comes with a 6 year warranty (if you register) and seems
cheaper than most of the competition. Bunnings, for instance, have a
Ryobi for $99 but that's just the skin and the battery and charger are
$149 extra.

Anybody got a better suggestion?

**Not me. That drill represents excellent value for money. Particularly
with the 6 year warranty. I have the bigger brother:

https://www.totaltools.com.au/18v-13mm-brushless-drill-driver

It's got Blutooth.

WTF?

Anyway, I've owned it for 3 years and it has never missed a beat. More
power than I need. I even use it with a 75mm auger for drilling holes in
the garden.

It would depend largely on what you're planning on using it for. The
Bosch would probably be okay for timber and light steel, but for
anything more serious I would probably look at Milwaukee's range.

Whatever you do, avoid Makita. Their drills are rubbish. I have three
here that do this:

**Or, the larger, two speed Bosch drills. Like mine:

https://www.totaltools.com.au/18v-13mm-brushless-drill-driver

With 85Nm of torque, not much slows it down. Strong hands are required.

If you don't do any heavy duty drilling for extended periods it will be
fine.

Just avoid Makita. Their drills are rubbish now and their warranty
policy even worse.

Milwaukee seems to be very popular with tradies at the moment but if you
don't need anything heavy duty the Bosch should do the job.
I've got mostly Makita power tools plus a few Bosch, my small Bosch
impact driver is at least 10yrs old and both batteries are still good,
I've also got an old Bosch drill that was a cheapie, drill is still good
but one battery failed.
It comes down to how much money you want to spend, at that price the
Bosch should be very good.

My Makita drill has a metal chuck and doesn't have that problem, its an
older model that was used by my son when he was still on the tools, it
stopped working so he gave it to me, I put a set of new brushes in it
and it now works like new.

Hmm 400 bucks for a skin, and I have a hammer drill already (it's a

Mostly light work, aluminium mainly with occasional drilling out of
hardened screws although that is a last resort, I have other techniques
that usually work.

Milwaukee would be nice but, for my use, an overspend.

That seems to be the general opinion. A pity because, once upon a time,

**I think so. It's a $34.00 option. I don't need it. That said, the LED
worklight that came in the set:

https://www.bosch-pt.com.au/au/en/products/gli-18v-1900-0601446400

Had the Bluetooth option fitted. It's actually come handy a couple of
times. The light is really handy and plenty bright.

I think you need to take your own advice. but my point remains. Aldi
products are largely unsupported by service and spare parts, and are of
unknown or dubious quality, so it's foolish to buy them when there are
reputable branded alternatives that do have backup.

I've heard that the metal chuck drills are more robust, but the trouble
is that they're hard to get. Their "regular" plastic chucked drills are
fucking hopeless.

A mate has got just about the entire Ryobi range of battery tools,
renovated his house so they have been well used and he's very happy with
the brand.

The one I have was pretty expensive when new, its also big and heavy so
it rarely gets used.
Don't need to drill too many holes these days and when I do I just grab
my Bosch cheapy, its only got one battery left so when that dies it will
be going in the bin and then I will have to think about a replacement.
