Makita is a well-known high quality brand for tools. This drill weighs 4kg and works as any other drill but due to the high quality will probably last longer. All the tradies I know use Makita due to the tools' sturdiness and robustness. My dad's Makita tools have been going for longer than I can remember and he is always doing something around the house.
I am sure of you that are interested in this know Makita anyway.
The cheapest I could find in Australia including shipping was $215 or $219 respectively (from Ebay). Shops were more expensive. Given Amazon's warranties and excellent customer service I think this is a good deal. All that is need is a plug converter (couple of dollars, will also come in useful when buying other things from Europe).

AS THIS IS CLEARANCE only 9 drills left as per Amazon page! Yes, it ships to Australia.

  yes, your Dads lasted as he bought it way back when, when they where decent quality, most of the "Decent brands" are now made in china and quality has plummeted, they won’t last anywhere near as long anymore.
  I believe Milwaukee are one of the only "brand names" still made in the US now…

  I've also been looking for drills, though ill probably get a 18V as they are pretty much as good as mains powered ones now..

  (I was looking at this:
  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002WJH9WO/ref=ox_sc_sfl_ti…
  which was only 280 a few weeks ago..,.. unfortunatly the charger is 110 though, and buying a charger locally pretty much removes most of the savings.
  so was doing a bit of research into all the brands.)

  side note, i bought one of the bunnings specials for 30-40 bux… seems to be going strong. they probably come out of the same factory!

    I found the cheapo drills didn't have the torque. However if its for general purpose works then the cheapos are fine.

    After trying alot of the ozito line a few years ago I found I had to replace them eventually because they just couldn't hack it. I won't buy cheap and dodgy ever again.

    It appears Milwaukee, AEG, Ryobi and a few others are one and the same nowadays…

      What about Hitachi tools?
      Are they still made in Japan?

  Check out the Aldi catalogue on Wednesday. 5 tools for $200. Aldi will exchange or refund without a fuss within the warranty period even if the tools have been heavily used (on a daily basis for example).

  I'd go for the ebay one with the australian plug & warranty. Difference in price is trivial

  Or, skip this and go straight for a SDS drill. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

  The problem I have with cheap drills is that although most are replacement warranty you still need to stop what your doing and go to the store and swap it over. This is a pain in the but if your midway through a job. No doubt if it's a top tier drill you will most likely need it sent away for repair which would be even more inconvenient but the cheap ones from experience die more often than the quality ones.

  The price difference between getting it local and from OS for this deal probably is not worth it as its only about 15% cheaper. If it was say +30% cheaper than it may be worth considering as you have to forego the local warranty and also need a plug adaptor.

  I have been using and repairing all sorts of power tools for more than 40 years, working as a Sparkie .
  Makita's kick arse imo.
