How much do I need to spend to get a decent cordless drill. One where the battery isn't completely f***ed after a year or two. I just want it to drill holes, I can use a screw driver. I happened to be in Costco and they were anything from £150 to £250. Surely they are good ones for less than that.

Titan. But better to spring the extra for makita etc

Loads of good deals around. SF and BQ have Hitachi for £90, Makita, DeWalt & Blue Bosch for under £100
£100-ish

Hi Kevin,
Certainly not the 'cheaper' end, but I absolutely swear by (not at) my Panasonic combi drill/driver. I made the switch from Makita gear about 2 years ago and have absolutely no problem with it, and I have tested it to the max! I was sold on it when I went into TooledUp in Enfield and the guy told me to drill into the concrete floor of their warehouse with a 25mm x 500mm long masonry SDS bit- how about that for an acid test :)
I got the kit with 2 batteries, charger and case and he did me a great deal and matched a price I'd seen on tinternet, also threw some other bits in, so my advice would be to go to a decent professional tool store, with pound notes in your pocket and wave your wad in their face ;)
Enjoy... Deano
I just bought this

They had one on display in SF yesterday. Lovely piece of kit.
"Drilling & Impact Drilling Functions" Does that mean it's a hammer drill?
Yup. A combi.
The batteries on my Bosch died after less than two years. I would not recommend. All rechargeables die after a while but I would go for a Hitachi, DeWalt or Makita, preferably not with NiCd batteries.
