Anyone know of cheaper "unbranded" ones? For the limited use I'd make of
one,
90 squid for a Bosch from Screwfix seems a bit much

That is for a driver really. 7.2V is not that powerful to use for constant
drilling, say in wooden joists. It only has one battery too. Do a google
on "angle drill", I recall seeing a mains operated one for around £90.
These have much more power. Unfortunately there are no cheap mains angle
drills. Protrade http://www.protrade-direct.co.uk sent me a catalogue and
are pushing a Roybio 14.4 v angle drill and a 14.4 v drill/driver and
charger and bag for £114 inc VAT & del. If you need two drills then is the
one to go for. DeWalt are selling a similar angle drill with two batteries
for around £170 Tool shops sell angle converters for around £12-15.

That URL should be http://www.protrade.co.uk/.
