So we've seen the advert for half price sofas and
the other offers over the years. But if I was selling sofas
I would think the offer that couldn't lose is
"Buy a sofa and we throw in a Makita 24v SDS"
She gets what she wants and you get to own killer kit.

Its a damn sight more obvious than the desire to pay top bucks
for a sofa that 3 times bigger than it should be.

But it's Ryobi that looks more like Airfix, not Makita.

I assume that's what you meant by a kit?

I saw the ryobi thing on the advert but it isn't being used as a selling
point.
When I mentioned 24v Makita I meant 24v Makita.

So how pray tell does the Ryobi SDS or anything else look like Airfix? The
Ryobi SDS I bought looks like - an SDS drill
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/23674/...rill-2kg-240V#

Granted Hitachi looks like something Flash Gordon would use, and B&D are
going that way, but Ryobi looks perfectly normal to me.

Oh BTW - the Ryobi SDS performs very well indeed thank you. Very nice to
use, drills holes perfectly and is gaining status because peope have seen
the name on the DFS advert.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

Ah, found it. Volume crappy furniture store.

It appears that there isn't one in Wycombe. That would be sacrilege indeed.
