Hi All
My powerdevil 12volt cordless drill has now died. What cheap, £40
or less drill
do you recomend. I have a mains hammer drill so do not need hammer
action in
the new cordless.

Thanks for any advice
Mike


Argos, forget the quips about Aldi and anything under £25.

£25 for 3 powertool items in aldi, how sad

I had the forerunner of this rechargeable Bosch found at Argos. Very
good spec - 12V, keyless, reversible, varispeed at about £40 from
Great Mills over10 years ago. But when the accumulator failed several
years later, I was quoted £42 at several places for its replacement.
So I binned it.


You should of kept it and bought a new model of the same voltage and 1
month later taken it back with duff batty attached and asked them for a
replacement drill as the batty is not holding it's charge. ;-)
