Default Screwfix + Site

I see in the latest catalogue from screwfix that they have dropped all of the
Site power tools.*
Wonder why?

I was in my local SF depot last Tues & they had huge piles of 14.4 & 18v
combi's at silly prices.

Just looked at the SF web site & only 2 products show, 110v angle grinder &
14.4v Combi.

Interesting.

I received a whole (small) catalogue from SF full of Site stuff only
this week.

I got a srewfix spring update catalog yesterday with Site
drills,jigsaws,circular saws and angle grinders all at lower prices.
Any opinions on Site tools as i am looking for a cordless driver and
these prices look tempting as my tools spend most of the time in the
tool cuboard



they're good and certainly at the prices they are going for now an absolute
steal

as long as you realise that they are a clearance item so replacement under
warrantee could be a problem, as could the availability of spare parts.

However they appear to be almost identical to Makita comparable modal and
the battery's of the cordless drills are interchangeable with Makita's

just ordered their 59.92 cordless driver

was told that it was now only 49.92 so had to buy a box of posidrive bits to
avoid the £5.00 postage charge bits were only 3.90 so effectively free and
change

delivery tomorrow

Seems like a good deal to me

Regards
