Drill Driver 14.4V. It's almost brand new. I got it a year ago but only just started some DIY
Battery has gone dead again so here i am back on here. I think it's because i'm drilling through a concrete floor

Shouldnt use a drill driver on concrete cos you can fuck up the hammer mechanism, and really you need an 18v+ drill but even then its only really meant for mortar not concrete. get an sds hammer drill you will have the job done in no time.

My flat is mainly concrete so i think i will need to invest in one that drill through concrete. Anyone got any ideas of a good drill to get? This is the only bit of DIY i haven't managed to fuck up

bear in mind you get what you pay for.
Personally i go for Makita stuff, they usually make reasonably high quality stuff and its durable.
