Battery drills

Posted by Tim Bucknall on October 17, 2025 at 10:15am

Hi, can anyone recommend a brand that will stand up to heavy use.  Currently using De Walt, but fed up with broken chucks etc.

TIA

    For heavy use...

    An impact driver, impact wrench or an sds drill.

    I question how you're using your drill in order to destroy a chuck. Seems more of the case of the right tool for the right job.

    Makita are much better than DeWalt and I have never had an issue with their drills. I use 40v xgt but the 18v lxt are very good and spares are readily available and they are easy to fix.
