Challenge Xtreme Tools
 

Anyone had much experience with these from Argos? There are some
incredible deals at the moment.

Incredible is right - in the "I can't believe they can call these things
tools" sense.

Yes, are there any in particular you're interested in, or just them in
general?

cheers,
Pete.

I had the bad sense to buy a Challenge once, and its been great, very
surprised.

I bought a challenge cordless drill a couple of months ago. i cant remember how much i paid for it , but it was probably less than it cost me in petrol to get to Argos.
I was VERY surprised with it.

I expected it to be a bit flimsey and fall apart in a week but was shocked to find the build quality to be quite good for such a cheap price.

I bought one of their SDS drills 2 years ago.
Didn't expect it to last but its still going strong.
Excellent for many things but esp. good for removing tiles

Maybe we should have this thread deleted incase some-one from Challenge see it. Their prices will probably double if they see these positive comments.

Proabably best for light to medium DIY use, or if starting out with a
modest budget for tools.
