Has been around at £79 from screwfix in the past, or at £109 now if you fancy it a nice Makita case and an accessory kit http://directbrandtools.co.uk/Detail... &qsSubCat=24 |

Doesn't say what a/hr the batteries are, but that won't be a problem with DIY use. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

Thanks buy it - great for DIYing I use it all the time. (Li-Ion batt. versions not worth the ££ for DIY use - IMHO). Jim K Agreed - I bought one from SF when the price was £80 and it is very good. I was doubtful about the NiCd, but it turns out that good NiCds are better than cheap NiMHs and perform very well. If the offer lasts until Wednesday and aslo the stock willl last, do you have a way of getting the 10% discount? -- Peter. The gods will stay away whilst religions hold sway |
