I need a new drill! Bosch or Makita???
When you have a bad day, it can't get any better!
The best thing is to go to sleep and in dream wait for another, better day.
First, I almost had a car accident, second, I found out that my old drill doesn't work at all!
And I have some minor works in my apartment, I have to mount the new shelves and fix them to wall, but first, I have to drill!
Well I can borrow a good drill from @alktoni, but my household is in need for a drill every day, so I have to buy a new one.
And this is the day! I found these two drills that are exactly what I need and they are in price range that I can afford at the moment! So, will Japanese Makita finally find it's place in my workshop instead of my beloved German Bosch??? Let's see some specs!

DEWALT LOL
LOL! But, Dewalt is not available in my town! Thanks for comment!
pretty much the same show, both good brands, I would go makita because I've never owned bosh, just my 2 cents worth ( hint ) :-)
Enjoy your new drill !
Oh, thanks! I will surely enjoy it!
Both about the same
Do you really need a hammer drill?
For more power get a power plug in one, otherwise get a cordless.
Both are hammer drills, thanks. I chose Makita this time
Both are made in RPC , internal mechanism are mostly made from plastics, not recommended for longer used at any one time. They will melt.
