Morning all! I must admit i'm no expert on DIY but this seems like a very good price for this combi-drill - currently £170 at BQ/Screwfix
The great GSB 18 V-EC Combi Drill with 18 torque settings, hammer action, drilling mode and screwdriver setting is at home with many tasks. Paired up with 2.0Ah batteries which keeps the weight down for a great all round drill you can use all day without fatigue. At only 189mm long, this compact machine comes with 2 x 2.0Ah batteries and a charger in a carry case with enough free space to hold drill bits and other accessories.
FEATURES:
100% longer lifetime thanks to brushless EC motor technology
Very efficient: up to 75 holes (6 x 50 mm) in masonry (test concrete in accordance with EN 60745-2-1-) with only one battery charge (18 V - 4.0 Ah)
Even more powerful: 31 Nm (soft screwdriving applications) for a broad range of applications (18 V - 4.0 Ah)
Integrated impact drilling function for drilling in masonry up to 13 mm
Compact design: very short head length (only 189 mm) for perfect handling
Innovative CoolPack batteries ensure optimum heat dissipation and therefore increase lifetime by up to 100% (cf. Li-Ion batteries without CoolPack)
Bosch Electronic Cell Protection (ECP): protects the battery against overload, overheating and deep discharge
Electronic Motor Protection (EMP) protects the motor against overload and ensures a long lifetime
13-mm Auto-Lock drill chuck
Integrated LED light with afterglow function for illuminating the work area, even in dark places
Replaceable colour clips for easy labelling and identification of the tool
Mountable bit holder for easy transport and storage of bits on the tool
Practical belt clip for conveniently hanging the tool on a belt or ladder
Motor brake for precise work when driving rows of screws

Is this a good price with 2 x 2ah batteries and being brushless?

Just as an alternative I spotted this the other day and thought it was great deal for £20 more and slightly lower capacity batteries you get an impact driver and a nice bag. Dewalt also have an identical kit for the same price.
For this price I think you'd be better buying the one that's £99 at screwfix with 4ah battery and buy a second battery for £30 - £50 depending on what size you want. Lots of 4Ah ones in the amazon warehouse for £45.

Depends if you want an impact driver I guess, If you are doing Decking you wont regret it.

Worth the extra £15 to double battery capacity.
Normally you have a choice between 2 x 2Ah and 1 x 4Ah , but the below has one of each, plus an L-BOXX and accessories for an extra £26 :smiley:
