My trusty B&D driver doesn't hold charge anymore, and needs replacing
(although I haven't yet investigated options as to getting the battery
replaced). Can anyone recommend a replacement? Similar questions have
been asked before, but previous threads seem to soon diverge into
discussing the merits of cordless drill/driver combinations.

I'm looking for a *light* driver with torque control. Although this will
be used for driving into wood, etc, more often than not it'll be used
around the house. I lose track of the number of times that I've been
using this fully stretched or in tight corners, and so for this reason I
*don't* want a combination drill/driver - just a standard straight or
angled driver.

Given that this tool has been by far the most useful tool I've ever
bought, I'm prepared to spend to get the right replacement. Previous
threads have mentioned the Matabo at (gulp) ~£70. Does this have
variable speed (trigger sensitive I presume)? Variable speed is the only
thing I miss on my existing driver. Is it possible to get this feature
on a standard driver?

Many thanks in advance for any response,
Mike.
