Agreed. Bargain of the century.

Makita make brilliant drill drivers, really feel good in the hand, great
speed control, plenty of welly.

What would that offer then? Never used a DeWalt, so no experience of them.

Seconded, bought one two weeks ago, very happy with it. Spend the extra
20quid on a selection of drill bits etc. or the Makita accessory kit for
14.99 and a bacon butty from the van outside (assuming yours has the
same arrangement as mine).

Noticed in B&Q ( a large one) that they have a Makita twin pack on offer,
combi drill & drill driver, two bats & a charger in a case for £97 ish.
Think they were 14:4v.

Worth a look, very handy sometimes having a combi & a driver.
