Interesting. Makita say that Maktec is a pro tool, the same quality,
just
a few features less. I looked at Screwfix and the Makita 12v
drill/driver
with 2 batteries is £95. An extra battery is £45. So that is £140 with
three batteries. The Maktec, equiv., the same but red and a few
different
moulding lines on the plastic case, is going for £80 inc p&p with 3
batteries.

The difference is 32 torque settings to 19, well who is that fused on 32
settings anyway. So £60 difference. Quite a bit for basically the same
product.

Not quite, you need to shop around more. Best price I can find on a
12V Maktec and 3 batts is £59

That is a clearance sale.
