Been looking for a Makita TD020DSE - its a 7.2v Li-Ion Impact Driver.

Lawsons HIS have them for £52 but a search on E Bay brings up a tool shop on
the Isle of Wight with them for £36 - quite a difference
http://tinyurl.com/3xlg6f

However Lawsons have a page devoted to Makita warranty
http://www.lawson-his.co.uk/makita_warranty.htm which seems to me like a
scare story.

Never bought anything on E Bay - does this IOW deal look kosher?

That refers to non-EU models having no warranty wehn imported, the IoW
one says it has full manuf. warranty Lawson site does sound like FUD to me.

If you look at their Ebay shop details there is a link to their bricks
and mortar shop and to their own web site.

https://secure.thetoolman.co.uk/

Interestingly, though, they don't have the Makita Impact driver listed there.

I would call them, ask why and if satisfied, buy it over the phone.

Yup, brilliant shop - been there in person on a number of occasions.
They can also order and supply spares for most proper tools and have a
service centre as well.

Well worth a visit if you are in the area, only a small ish shop but
they do pack in the kit. Last time I went for example they had over a
dozen mitre saws set up for display - most on proper stands or tables as
well.

Which is pretty good for a small driver like this. The Ryobi one is nothing
like as powerful. The Metabo is 16Nm.

I want something small for confined spaces. This also has 2 batteries,
rather than a built in one.

But of course. These things can conquer Al Qaeda, inflation in
Zimbabwe and even sort out a prime minister for Belgium.

Oh, and provided that you are not looking for subtlety can put in a
screw or two as well.

Plus, the rapid way in which they appear to do it will impress those
around you and make them think that you are a true professional.

TMH is even looking for a way to work his into his magic acts - great
for attaching the lid to the box with the girl inside really quickly.

I've just had a look on eBay. did a search on: Makita TD020DSE

24 for sale. You might be interested to list the 'completed ' items. It
shows that the normal price is £25-£30 + del.
