Power tools

yeah sold out at that price

what have BandQ got?

I know they were doing the makita at about £90ish

 

Thats what i was looking at the other day, was thinking of getting one myself,

 

yeah I went witha friend who bought one. but its not the li-on battery

Amazon do a Bosch PSB 18 LI-2 Cordless 18 Volt Hammer Drill, 1 x Li-Ion Battery for £84.99


are draper any good?

 

in all seriousness. stay the **** away from draper tools

 

What the **** you on about daft arse

 

Yeah, stay away from Draper,you may as well buy ****ing supatool, and i don't mean Stereotypist.
What are you, a DIYer, or tradesman, forget that, you're a DIYer, aren't you.

 

if he was a tradesman he wouldnt be looking at amazon, and b&q for tools or asking are draper good in fairness

 

mainly DIYer tbh

 

Thing is I have a lot of tools, of the corded variety.

Just looking for a reasonably priced drill/driver

 

Well ,depending on what, and how often you're gonna use it, i'd get an half decent one if i was you.

Do you have a JTF round your way

 

not knocking ya kid, just if you were a tradesman you'ld get the good dewalt tools or whatever is top brand for your trade (marshalltown for me) at your builders providers instead of diy chain

 

yeah

isnt that membership or something though?

 

Bought one of these for 89.99 a while back from B&Q

18v - 2x Lithium Ion Batteries, I used this for work for a few months whilst my Dewalt was getting fixed. I was gutted when they gave the Dewalt back to me as the Hitachi pissed all over it. Nice & light, the battery life was amazing as well.

They do offers every now and then in B&Q it's just a matter of timing, if you're a sad git like me who has regular trips round those stores you'll eventually find something to suit.

 

cheers

heard good things about Hitachi

will look into it

 

yeah, but they let anyone join these days
i bought a AEG drill set comprising of 2 18volt drills, (one hammer), 2 batteries, charger and case for £65+vat, they're selling for 200+ at some places, i have some big dewalt drills that knock **** out of my hands, and these little beauties are great for my job.

 

had a look at their website

seems you need 2 business ID's to join

 

They keep sending me leaflets with their latest offers and also tickets to pass on to friends to join up saying anyone can be a member even if you're not in any kind of business, i'd go to the warehouse if i were you and check it out, i know they used to be pretty strict but they've definitely relaxed a bit now.
