makita drill ltc204w

have a look of these, im thinking of buying the kit, 10.8v not the best in use to using 18v dewalt (work with dads joinery company) but might be ok for some simple domestic work i.e putting in back boxes etc, wondering what you think?

I have the Bosch 10.8V equivalent set and I am impressed with it. As a demo at a toolshow I attended they were driving a 6" No12 screws into softwood with them. Nice and light and easy to use. Not sure I've used my 18V impact driver since.......

I got the Bosch set for

They are only 1.3ah , so they might not last that long so could be recharging often.

This doesnt look like a bad offer but it only has 1 battery: http://www.screwfix.com/search.do;jsessionid=P5TKELA3ZD3MKCSTHZOSFEY?_dyncharset=UTF-8&fh_search=74113-12&searchbutton.x=0&searchbutton.y=0&searchbutton=submit

Ah but a lower voltage tool cf a 18V drill, the same battery would last nearly twice as long in the 10.8V tool!

i just think as an apprentice/student not doing much extensive work a smaller screw gun would work well

It might do yes harry , I am a firm believer in right tool for the right job and always get the best I can even if it means waiting a few months until I can afford a good quality one, I have found I use my battery drills alot less for doing up screws since buying one of these :

I've heard very good things about the makita 10.8 li-ion kit.

May try the set myself.

I've got the Hitachi 10.8V set of drill driver and impact driver. They are superb bit's of kit and i now never use a 18V drill. I use the impact driver to drill holes in wood joists and it goes through like butter. The screwdriver drill is great as it's so light you can use it all day and it sits in the pouch of my snickers perfect.

battery life good? good build guality?

I have a metabo 7.2v screwdriver, its almost as torquey as my 18v drill (albeit a lot slower), the moral being, it's not the voltage but the gearing that makes the biggest difference to ability, and small stuff works a lot better in tight places.
