Fantastic for jobs like yours.

Check out E Bay, got mine for £35.

A Yankee? Boy!!!!

erm, I think you will find he was linking to the very Makita to which
you were referring.

It competes with an 18v drill/driver
in performance.

Not even close in fact. Its a nice tool and certainly has a place - it
would suit John's requirement very well. However it only develops 17Nm
max torque, and a 2" 10 gauge twinthread screw into a brown plug is
about its limit. Its not comparable with a 18V drill that will develop
two to three times the torque, or a big impact driver which will exceed
ten times the torque.

Seen them on Ebay for a lot cheaper too.

Got mine for about £35 with two batts from eBay.
