My 20 y/o B&D electric screwdriver has finally given up the ghost. The battery
was starting to fail to hold charge, and then at the weekend, the switch broke,
so although I can drive screws in with it, I can't take them out!

So ... I need a replacement.

Any recommendations?

What's this Bosch 10.8V Li-ion likely to be like?

(I need a new cordless drill, too. The el-cheapo Wicks special has lunched
its batteries after less than a year, and I've bent something in it anyway
so the chuck doesn't rotate true...)

How large a drill do you want?

Festool's C12 is excellent both as a screwdriver and as a drill if you
are otherwise looking for a drill in the 14v range.
