Default No compact 10.8v drills - has everyone gone power mad?

I have been vaguely looking for a second combi-drill/impact-driver set

However no one (well neither Screwfix nor Toolstation) now seem to
have anything vaguely similar, there's not a single drill that doesn't
have a bulky sticking-out battery on the end of the handle.

The whole beauty of my 10.8v Titans is that the handle and battery are
all the same diameter. They are perfectly capable of driving all the
screws (up to 6mm) that I want to drive and with one spare battery can
keep up well with my use.

I think everyone has gone power mad! I don't need battery capacity
sufficient for a serious SDS drill, I just get my old mains powered
one if I need that. The portability and 'ease in the hand' of my
10.8v drills is what makes them so good for me.

However you are unlikely to be able to use a 10.8v battery pack in any other device. With 12 or 18v there is a reasonable possibility of finding them usable in other tools.

If compact, low voltage is needed, there are still 7.2v Makita screwdriver/drills.
