Default Electric Screwdriver

Also easy:http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...23716&ts=21081

Fantastic drill for the money, worth £150 easily.


Saw one of these at my local Screwfix trade counter on Saturday. I'd
say it's price point was about right at 90 quid. It certainly didn't
feel to have the build quality I would expect for the original list
price. I was umming and ahhing about buying one (and gaining the
advantage of fresh cells) - or buying a naked bosch combi and using my
existing 14.4v bosch cells. I bought a naked bosch unit off ebay (for
70 quid) and the build quality is quite a bit better than the Hitachi.
I know that's not a one for one comparison - but I don't think this
was ever really a "170 quid of value" product.
