...at thirty quid.

For the cordless with right angle drive and two batteries? Somewhat of a
bargain - I paid over 100 quid. Excellent drill though - and the batteries
are still fine.

They reduced both the high torque mains drill and the cordless with
angle drive to £30.

I bought one of each.

I'd already got the cordless without angle when they reduced it to £80
a few years before. Shortly after that, they reduced it to £50 and I
bought one for a friend. Shortly after that they reduced it to £30.

So this time, I'd learned my lesson.

You were right about the angle drive. It's great. Used it loads -
don't know how I got by without it. And the batteries on the newer
model are either improved or my old ones are getting a bit tired.
