I'm also looking for a cordless drill which I can use as a

using a cheapo Woolies cordless drill as a screwdriver which,
although useful, isn't a lot of use for anything the slightest bit
heavy. The battery also doesn't last long.

I need to have another look at the Screwfix catalogue to see what's
available.

This has got to be the best offer ever;

I don't think these come with batteries. *It doesn't mention any.

Doesn't mention 'bare'. *Click the picture & it shows the tools with
batteries & charger in a case.

Those are the ones B&Q were selling at around the same price.

One of the problems with Makita is they will build anything to meet a
price level. Or should I say that one of their geniuses is doing so
without apparently denting their brand reputation too much. I guess
that means they are good at it.
