Thinking of getting a cordless driller. Any recommendations?
Or is this more of a /diy/ question?

You're buying a batter system as well so decide 12V or 18V and what other tools you can use. 12V is easily enough for home use.

I'm assuming 18V is for something more heavy duty?

Yes, some tools are not available as 12V version and 18V is professional/work use like circular saws.

Bosch Blue is for pros, like them lot over at /diy/.
/g/ would def. be a Bosch Green board.

buy a cheap ryobi. More than likely, if you are just a homeowner that wants it for DIY it is all you need. You also get the benefit of being able to abuse it to hell and back since its so cheap and you'll know what you really need if it breaks (it wont)
>>
>>106644589
What is your use case?
If it's drilling lots of holes in your apartment concrete, you'd better off with a corded hammer drill.
>>
>>106645271
>apartment concrete
Doable even with a 12V hammer drill. Takes a bit longer since the drill will need to cool off a few times if you're drilling more holes but buying a corded SDS drill for an apartment is a massive waste.

I'm a professional woodworker. I have $6000 cnc setups, $4000 8" jointer, and all of the expensive shop stuff, but for 90% of my handheld power tool needs Ryobi is goopointer, and the price is right.

If you're doing onsite stick frame construction, use dewalt, milwaukee, or makita. Electricians love bosch for some reason. But just gone owner shit ryobi, or rigid if you're feeling fancy, are fine.

Ryobi. Cheap, good and huge ecosystem around their batteries for various things you may need around the house in the future

Other than the spellcheck issues, what part were you having trouble with? Happy to clarify.

I'm a pro. I have used some of the most expensive and sophisticated tools available for decades. I recommend ryobi, unless there's a compelling reason to buy more performative and durable tools.

Pretty straight forward.

>>106645858
You're probably confused about the preamble where I mentioned expensive tools? If you recommend Ryobi on a forum where tools are discussed routinely, you'll be met with
>stop being poor
So... to overcome that objection preemptively, I need to state that I have tools in my workshop that most others, including professionals, could never afford and have never used without joining a maker space.

If you're continuing to have trouble understanding, that's a (you) problem, or possibly an esl issue. Have an awesome day, anon!

always buy the cheapest shit you can find and then replace it with something good if you use it a lot and/or it breaks

You should maybe start pre-emptively apologising for your obsession with male genetalia, TTI chinkshit shill. It's getting embarrassing now. Has your battery not near ran out by now anyway? Lot of effort you been putting in today, typing out all these ' I have every expensive tool under the Sun, BUT my FAVORITE is RYOBI!' numbers.

I had a ryobi that was struggling putting up blinds, which is ridiculous. So I bought this which is overkill, but you can't get much better.

:) just like annoying the TTI shill.
Festool is top end shit, if you are woodworking everyday. Way overboard, and very definitely overpriced, for anyone else. I wouldn't buy a Festool battery drill, it's certainly not what they are famous for, and high chance it's just rebadged Something Else. Think Hilton pull this shit as well.

Skil 12V supremacist reporting in. I use this thing multiple times a week to break down cardboard to feed into the paper shredder to use as worm bedding and compost filler. Their brushless drills are also pretty much near the top of the pack for 12V systems.

Ryobi got a lot better after they started releasing brushless motor tools. Almost all the ryobi complaints you see are from people using old batteries on brushed motors. Professionals don't like ryobi because you can't throw it off a roof and drive a thousand framing screws every day like you can with dewalt or milwaukee.
For any lurkers: get a brushed ryobi tool kit and replace individual tools with brushless ones as they break or you think they're not powerful enough. Best bang for your buck.
>>
>>106647961
Hell those old brushed motors run on the same level of Hercules which are surprisingly good for how cheap they are
>>
The tech is nowadays often brushless by default and so good even on the lower end, that you can basically just buy the cheapest Chink product and it's going to do any job in your home just fine.
Though logically speaking, even the brand name tools are relatively inexpensive all things considered.
You could just spend couple of weeks beer, pizza or other bullshit expenses towards the drill and get a top end product that's for life and it's not like the cost savings of getting the cheaper product are in any way going to show up in your life even 6 months from now.
>>
>>106644589
Buy a Makita. Milwaukee and Ryobi are owned by the same Chinese firm.
>>
>>106648097
Most people would be fine with brushed motors desu. Especially for one off specialty tools like the oscilating multi tool. The only brushless I'm sort of interested in is an impact driver so I can really torque down lug nuts.
I know the home depot near me is constantly running sales on toolkits. $250 for 6 tools and a couple batteries. A brushless 1/2 drill alone is $99.
>>
>>106644589
i recommend the 18v ridgid platform if you live near a home depot. 18v milwaukee FUEL is good too. DO NOT buy milwaukee that isn't a FUEL labeled tool, they are dog shit like ryobi
>>
>>106644589
Avoid "brushless DC" motors, they're cheap garbage and essentially a marketing scam
>>
>>106644589
>cordless
Get a $40 corded drill and a nice 25ft extension cable. It will be more powerful and you won't have to buy another $80+ battery in 5-7 years.
>>106645271
>hammer drill
Almost no one needs an impact driver. It's one of the most misused tools in existence. Though if you do know you need one, then it's absolutely worth it.
>>
>>106649096
>confuses a hammer drill with an impact driver
never change /g/
>>
>>106644589
Festool stuff is probably the best, but also most expensive. Other than that, just pick one of:
> Makita
> Milwaukee
> Dewalt
Go 18V, and just remember to stick with one brand (for anything battery powered) so you're not wasting $$ you don't need to on duplicate batteries.
>>
>>106649128
You don't need either. Unless you know you do.
>>
>>106644589
My recommendation? Pawn shops and Facebook Marketplace. Absolutely no reason to buy brand-new really
>>
>>106649701
Corded, yeah, no issue.
Battery, price in the cost of a new one (and make sure there's a charger with it). Shit that ends up in pawn shops tends not to have had optimal battery maintenance, or will work fine in the shop, for 5 minutes.
>>
>>106644589

get small one first
i use small more often than 18V

>Thinking of getting a cordless driller. Any recommendations?
i build stuff for a living and if you are thinking about expanding into more tools later you have to pick which battery environment you want to be in. top tier is milwaukee, it's what i run for my battery tools. the batteries perform better and last longer than any others i have used. i had bosch before and the batteries kept dying and not taking a charge. i would avoid them. it all comes down to how much you are going to use them and how much money you can afford to spend. your middle of the road option is going to be rigid or makita, both are good tools. also, get a drill/driver combo.

this is what I have
https://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-Electric-Fuel-2-Tool-Combo/dp/B0BY9FSCC1
the impact driver has oil in with the anvil and it makes it super quiet and nice to use compared to others, the hammer drill is a hammer drill, good all around tool if you aren't going to get an SDS hammer drill

for about 100 cheaper this will do the same thing but not quite as nicely
https://www.amazon.com/Makita-XT269T-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless/dp/B07N9LDD65/

the advantage of milwaukee is that setup now lets you buy bare tools and have 2 5.0 AH batteries, and the other milwaukee hand tools are very nice
>>
>>106646343
dewalt sucks now, compared to what they used to be
>>
>>106644589
Bosch, thank me later
>>
>>106649844
My DCF891B Impact wrench is my favorite power tool I own.

>>106647961
>Professionals don't like ryobi because you can't throw it off a roof and drive a thousand framing screws every day like you can with dewalt or milwaukee.

If you're habitually throwing tools off the roof, then you've got a bigger problem than not having durable tools.

>>106644589
The cheapest one on temu
