cordless combi drill for shed build

Looking for a combi drill to build a shed. Want something that's up to the task but don't need anything too fancy as it will only get light use after that hanging the odd shelf or picture etc

thanks

    What sort of materials/fasteners is this shed going to use?

    Screwing a few woodscrews through lightweight softwood panels together from a kit is a lot less demanding than coach screws through a chunky hardwood beam into concrete.

    If it's the former then anything will likely do the job, so pick whichever own brand/budget option is likely to have the longest battery /parts availability.

    Why are you getting a combi? If you are building a shed you should buy some sort of 12 gauge/framing nailer (air or battery). If you want something that you can use as a household drill afterwards then you'll either need a something with masses of torque (and preferably anti kickback tech) or a drill/impact driver kit (with impact doing most of your heavy lifting for the shed build).

    If insistent on combi drill, Bosch GSB 18V-110 C comes to mind (DeWalt has 997 but is expensive. 996 is comparable without anti kickback, but much cheaper).
