Good for youI hear you say!

Don't want to spend to much £80.
What do you recommend?
Needs 2 x batteries - Hammer not important.

Any online sites that you care to mention.

New just out. In that price range. Ryobi CMD-1442 with 2 speed
gearbox,
3
batteries, one hour charger and aluminium case. £85 +VAT on offer. V
nice
drill. www.protrade.co.uk

Cheers - Are ryobi a good make?

This is questionable. There are a number of different companies
using the Ryobi name - e.g. Home Depot in the U.S. for their in-house
range, which is absolute junk.

Any proof of this or are you making this up?

I would check very carefully what it is that is being sold here with
the Ryobi label and especially spares availability and service. It
may be reasonable to sling away £20 drills when they break, but at £80
this is not attractive.

....and Andy now attempts, as usual, to get people to part with their hard
earned cash by buying over priced tools.... here he goes...

There are some very good deals around now on proper Makita 14.4v

......see!
