Why? Get yourself an Impact Driver and good SDS drill. It can't see the
need for bulky, heavy combi drill.

B&Q Norwich won't price match (match fix?) with Screwfix as they are
relatives.

Makes no difference-tell them to ring their head office- or get any
brochure from B=Q and look at price promise details-no mention of fact
that both are owned by kingfisher-stick to your guns!

I know it is all about saving money but personally I would rather pay a
couple of quid more and give the cash to the company that has the balls to
price it competitively in the first place. But I suppose on the other hand
it is good to screw the company that has it for sale at a ridiculously high
price ;o)

Also if you go through Quidco to screwfix you get 6% back.

Brilliant - is that new? I used to put all my Screwfix orders via
rpoints, but they stopped it a couple of years back: I didn't know
Screwfix participated in any of the rebate schemes now.

Thanks, I've just ordered one from Screwfix and delivered to my door -
I could not cope with the hassle of B&Q, plus of course I have saved
the time / fuel cost of collecting the item.

What ****es me off with Scewfix is that they always seem to reduce the
price of a product just after I have bought it.

This drill is no exception. I bought mine AT £99 before Xmas.

When I bought a pillar drill it was hardly out of its packaging before
the price dropped considerably and it was much the same when I replaced
my consumer unit.
