New Drill.....

beer enigma

I'm looking to get a new drill as my old one has gone to drilling heaven......

I'd be a serious DIYer, so I'm looking for quality & performance.

Bosch is my preferred choice & I'm caught between two drills...one is €139 & one is €199 !, there does'nt appear to be a massive different between the two, but going by price...there must be.

Can anyone who knows about these things help out here ??

One is the PBH220 @ €139

Looks like the chuck is a lot better on the bigger drill.

If you can afford to wait for the cheap and cheerfulls...ie Aldi / Lidl. I can't remember which store. Best drill I ever used for concrete ...even better than the Bosch "concrete killer" (600w). Brand name is Parkside, my machine is 900w , newer version is 1000w....and at the right price and 3 year guarantee.
