I need a new combi drill/driver. Current one is a Bosch 14,4 with a knackered Nicd battery. Looking at 18v stuff.

In terms of buy it for life, is it total overkill to go Makita brushless, Milwaukee M18 or Bosh pro?

Would like to keep it close to £200.

Out of interest, do you use it a lot? Like a few days a week recharging daily. I'm asking because I've got some batteries that start working well enough when they are getting discharged and charged regularly but when they sit around for a few weeks/months the battery performance is terrible to begin with.

Mostly sits around doing nothing but not enough capacity to finish a small job or enough torque to really drill into anything harder than a spalled brick.

The 18v stuff seems perfect but would probably get a lower capacity battery as it gets crazy expensive with the bigger packs.
