Is this where tools are built down to a price point for certain vendors?

Thanks for all the replies, I had assumed it might come down to personal preference in the end. The 5Ah comments are very good points I perhaps didn't consider. Weight wise etc. Sounds like 2 and 3Ah might be the sweet spots for the DIY guy like myself, where I don't need them to run all day...

Hi all, I'd like an impact driver and combi drill. I currently have a Bosch professional 18v combi drill. Bought about 6 or 7 years ago with 2x2Ah batteries. However I've noticed how expensive additional bare bones tools cost compared to say Dewalt branded tools. I guess the main question...

Hi all My first post here, I am looking for a advice on a few things if I may pick your collective brains. I am fitting a new kitchen/utility and my next job is to fit 40mm oak worktops supplied by diy-kitchens. I haven't unwrapped them yet, but I assume they are finished to approx 150grit as...
