  • It's all a bit budget dependent. If you got a big powerful combi drill like the Milwaukee one Konstab posted, that'll be more than enough for most home jobs. But it's quite an outlay if it's not going to get used much. However, a decent battery combi drill and impact driver will make so many jobs so much easier/more pleasant. It all kind of depends how much of each thing you're going to do (and how much you're happy to spend).

    That will do all you need, and has a hammer only function which is always useful. Erbauer is a Screwfix brand so if it breaks it's easily replaced, and it's at the cheaper end of the scale.
    A Bosch or Makita will be around £100-140.

    A bit of an outlay, and you can always shop around etc, but it also gets you onto the Milwaukee battery platform which has a ridiculous selection of tools. And both the drill and impact driver will last forever, especially if just for DIY use.

    The one caveat is that if you do go for upgrading your combidrill, you may still find certain jobs where having a dedicated SDS is much more preferential. But again, this is down to the scope of what you intend to do.
