Screwfix have been doing the 14.4v version for £75 for the past year
with a set of bits.

Are these drills are up to the usual Makita quality or just relatively
cheap drills so someone can wear the badge?

Yes they are. I've had one of these for some while and it performs
accurately and well with very good motor and torque control.

As a model, the 6228 is getting towards the end of manufacture, I
suspect.

There are now newer 14.4v models with 2.6 and 3.0Ah batteries.
However, the two 1.3Ah of the 6228 can be used alternately and charged
and one can keep running all day with them.
