I use a hitachi 18v drill driver- it was the best I could afford when I started out, and after 18 months of a lot of use, it's still fine. I often use a sanding disc in the drill for large areas, so it gets quite a lot of use.

The hammer function is ok- won't do concrete, but at 18v I don't expect it to.
Would definitely get another.

just in case you need it for concrete the one above will work

Yep you often get the much better 18v version of that Hitachi drill on offer for under £100 with 2 Li-ion batteries just the same (just lower capacity in the batteries unfortunately but 3ah ones are available for it)

the drill thats usually £100 is a totally diffrent drill, smaller/cheaper/flimsier diy grade

Would never buy Hitachi again, went through 3 of those in about 2 months, in the end just got a refund and went elsewhere.

They are two completely different machines, you would have a job driving screws/drilling joists etc using an SDS. An SDS complements a Combi drill
