The computer also said they could not be
reordered and that, combined with its absence from the web site, makes
me agree with you that they are being reduced to clear,

Wickes never sold the drill properly. They never advertised the angle
attachment at all. I went into one branch and they never knew it could be
converted to angle drill. The average punter would see a £100 to £120 drill
driver (Plantpot says it is also a hammer too) and walk away thinking it was
just a simple overpriced drill driver. If what has been said her is right it
is:

1. Drill/driver
2. Hammer drill
3. Angle drill.

The punters are the losers here, as a quality 3 function drill is not know
to them or on the market any more.
