buy it - great for DIYing I use it all the time.

(Li-Ion batt. versions not worth the ££ for DIY use - IMHO).

Has been around at £79 from screwfix in the past, or at £109 now if you
fancy it a nice Makita case and an accessory kit

Can't go wrong with a Makita. Doesn't say what a/hr the batteries are,
but that won't be a problem with DIY use.

Agreed - I bought one from SF when the price was £80 and it is very good. I
was doubtful about the NiCd, but it turns out that good NiCds are better
than cheap NiMHs and perform very well.
If the offer lasts until Wednesday and aslo the stock willl last, do you
have a way of getting the 10% discount?

Picked one up from B&Q this morning, used it for putting up some fence
panels this afternoon - very pleased
