because the Wickes web site says they are selling a battery one,
however reading the small print you only buy the shell and have to buy
the battery and charger separately, so I assume that doubles the

The Wickes blue range battery tools are all 33% off until Sunday (in
store and on the website).

Previously Wickes' tools had a good reputation. Who is making
them this year? The old Kress range seems to have gone and the new
range is cut back.

A lot of the pro stuff is still Kress. They've just updated the
models and changed the colour scheme from blue/grey to red/grey.
