    Which cordless tool ecosystem?

    Looking to invest in cordless tools, and would like to buy the same make to share batteries etc. What make would the panel recommend for domestic use?

      Looks good - what do they have over other better known names?

        Pros buy them...?

        Mine are largely Bosch , which are fairly solid. The other pro kit is Makita.

          Isn't De Walt the go-to manufacturer? Or are they no longer fashionable?

              I'm waiting for the post.... "Can i buy this 10 piece De-walt kit through my Ltd company and expense it. I need it to build my new desk (also expensed) and that is wholly and exclusively for company use since my employer, er, sorry, client, says I can work from home".

              I've started building up my collection of Bosch 18v kit - not the best there is, but a decent brand and not too pricey for the home diy'er.

                No. No you're not.

                  Thought not.

                  Bosch for good and cheap, Makita for better and more expensive, De Walt for professional kit.

                  Bosch probably have the widest range incidentally.

                    Probably not much - them, Makita, De Walt provide a similar offering. You're better asking on a tools site rather than asking a bunch of Destroy-It-Yourselfers.
