Anyone know if Worx tools (Homebase and Argos) are any good? I've
seen a 14.4V drill/driver with 2 x 1.5Ah bats and 3 yr warranty for
£45 which looks like a REALLY good deal.

Probably is, but only if they are 1 hour charge time.

They are 1 hour IIRC, which B&D aren't.

Why this fetish for buying a cheap drill good enough for limited DIY use,
but insisting on a fast charger?

Like for like, the faster you charge the batteries, the less time they
will last. And more so with poor cells - which is one of the main problems
with cheap power tools.
