The battery for my old Wickes impact driver is not holding charge and it seems that the system it is part of is no longer made, so replacement batteries are not available. This seems to make it a good time to consider replacing my cheap old Aldi combi driver too so I'm combing through the huge range of prices and specifications available looking at combi-driver/ impact driver sets.
I'm 61 and would really like these tools to see me out so will be buying some spare batteries too. I tend to prefer corded tools and have never felt the need to go beyond a combi driver and an impact driver for the small domestic jobs I take on. However now I'm retired I'm working myself up for a reasonably big project putting shelves and a cupboard in the attic.
Any recommendations? Initial thoughts are thoughts from some Youtubing are that; "brushless" is worth it, the big brands are a step up from budget stuff and 18v is OK for my needs. Beyond that I'm clueless.
The tool I really need to get right is the impact driver, it is the one I use most of the two.
