Please recom 14Jan 29, 2014 10:40 am It depends on what you are doing.... I would also go to a specialist tool shop as the servers are more likely to be seasoned tradesman (retired) and experienced handimen. At least they are in the one I frequent. They can give you the steer... Bunnings is good for a lot of things but many brands are house brands in there and depending on the level of accuracy needed it may be wiser to spend a little more on the tool since you will have it for a long time. That said Bunnings should be able to help with corderless drill/ driver. Impact drivers can be switched from normal to impact as far as i know. Most drivers have a clutch trigger to regulate speed. You may be stressing and over thinking this one to be honest. Re: Tools for Home - Cordless Screwdriver etc.. Please recom 15Jan 29, 2014 10:42 am Well think long term. If you only ever need put things together like flat packs with it and only need the screwdriver alone - Go with something like this. http://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-4v-li- ... r_p6210120 If you'd do a little more work like above plus drilling holes etc with drill pieces - maybe something like this - http://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-18v-co ... t_p6210436 If you'd do all of the above plus the harder work like drill small light holes into masonary etc - http://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18 ... -_p6210438 The bonus with Ryobi one cordless tools that even their whipper sniper and other garden tools run all on the same batteries.

So buying impact drill (which can switch off impact) will suffice for me for some time? or combine that with a screwdriver? Cheers Re: Tools for Home - Cordless Screwdriver etc.. Please recom 17Jan 29, 2014 10:53 am My hubby is a tradie so that's why we have all the tools but for me at home he first bought me the screwdriver but now I only use his Impact driver as I can use it as a screwdriver, a drill, a hex key and has the power to back it up if needed. The impact side of it only comes in when the driver is under enough pressure that it is needed. bonus as its gentle enough for flat packs but powerful enough for screwing screws into timber. Mind you hubby had to go out and buy himself another one.lol Forrester 43sq We have our keys (3/6/11) Now it's time to decorate (that's the fun part.lol) https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=37598 Re: Tools for Home - Cordless Screwdriver etc.. Please recom 18Jan 29, 2014 11:11 am I haven't got the Ryobi impact drill myself, but if it's like the normal drill driver one, it'll have the different torque settings on the barrel, which you want to set down to the lowest setting for your furniture, then adjust upwards so you don't overtighten the screw. I think bunnings have a deal on the Ryobi kits which come with the drill driver, a multi-tool and a couple of batteries and charger for $199. If you don't need the impact drill right now, this might be a good starter for you. If you then buy the impact drill, you already have two batteries to put in to it, or the impact drill kit gives you another two batteries to keep you going at all times.

Please recom 19Jan 29, 2014 12:49 pm Thanks guys.. So I have learnt till now that 1) Get a 18V one 2) Get something with 2 battery pack 3) Get Li-ion and not Nicd.. 4) Battery 1.3ah will be fine (?) 5) get Impact drill to do everything (??) OR 5) Just get driver drill (??) 6) I will also need to buy bits kit right which has screwdriver and basic drill and masonry drill bits? Is there some in market which has allen key used to build ikea stuff among other flatpack builds? 7) Should not go very expensive as I am not a tradie and will probably use it once a year or so.. Re: Tools for Home - Cordless Screwdriver etc.. Please recom 20Jan 29, 2014 8:52 pm I think we all may have led you a bit astray here with a impact drill and talked about it as a hammer drill. A impact drill does the impacting as it rotates, picture a rattle gun at the motor racing or at the tyre shop. It's not what I think you should be looking at. A hammer drill basically hammers the masonry drill bit in to the concrete or brick, and that's something you might find a use for. The hammer mode can be turned off, so you can use the drill as a normal drill. My recommendation is just go for the plain drill/driver Ryobi 18v. Consider the current deal bunnings and Ryobi have going for the multi-tool with drill/driver, torch and batteries for $199. The multi-tool can be used for a lot of things, even cutting grout out from between tiles amongst plenty of other things. Owner Building at Jimboomba Woods in Logan City Qld.
