Recommendations for a light-duty cordless drill / driver

I'm looking to replace my corded drill with a cordless drill / driver.


It only gets used for DIY (at the moment, fitting boards and bits so I can replace loft insulation in a long, confined space), so I don't want anything that's going to cost £lots, but I do want something that's going to last and that's able to do most jobs.


I've been looking at the likes of the DeWalt DCD778 (65 Nm). Thoughts?

  • Two friends both bought Makita 10.8v sets of a separate drill and driver and both thought they were excellent. Small but powerful. A new improved? range appears to have been introduced and I have no idea what they are like.


    While drill manufacturers have introduced drill bits  to be used in Drivers I have tried them and did not like using  them, while they work the rotary hammer action of the driver seems at odds with drilling and they were slower than a normal drill. A separate drill is still in my view much better.
