Opinion? I bought this about 6 months back. Built a timber workbench with it, drilled some holes in various other stuff - bricks, metal etc. Worked fine and still works fine.
Hope that helps

Cheap as chips. Every man should have a cordless. Buy one. Just wonder - will they drop again over the weekend?

They have a 45 day refund policy. If it drops then buy it and refund other one. Worked for me before when I bought wallpaper for £15 a roll and the it dropped to £3. Eeek

The bonus with this vs last time it was on offer is the 2 x 2.0ah batteries you get.
Some people say that build quality is what makes a power tool last but thats only half true. The other half is knowing how to use and look after it. (ie ive had a non branded £12 angle grinder for 6 years now still going strong)
This drill will be fine for you building that shed. Plenty of power for what you will be drilling and screwing.

Homebase have this for 3p cheaper and I've got nectar points to spend this but with 2 x 1.5Ah batteries, can some one (montana78 :wink:) confirm that this does indeed have the 2.0Ah batteries?
Thanks.

Yeah if someone could double check, because these look the same as the ones listed on amazon and Homebase but will higher rated batteries.
Thanks

If you looked at the picture on the website you would be able to clearly see they are 2AH

I've had this for a couple of years (was originally around £100) - the Li-ion batteries stay charged well even if not used for several months (at least) so it's always ready to go unlike the old NiCad battery driven drills. The 1.5aH batteries last a good while in use too. Decent enough power for even light drilling into brick for the occasional job.
Having the 2 batteries helps too so that even if you've got a massive job on (decking etc) one can be on charge while you're using the other - they don't take long to recharge either.

Bargain at £65.
