Drill/Driver advice required

[zanwan]

Hi all

Put this in another section but not many repleis. I want to buy a drill/driver, mainly for the screwdriving feature. I want to spend around £40. I'd class myself as a light to medium trade user of this type of tool. Are there any recommendations you guys can give?

This one gets a lot of good reviews from screwfix

big bulky 3 hour charge definatly not a good ideal unless you have lots off time

i always egnore reviews by the people who sell the item
although interestingly one reveiwer says not bad for £24 that was 2 years ago

you either settle for a 3.6v driver or doule your budget
toolstop are doing an ryobi 18v angle drill driver and hammer drill for £90

Buy cheap buy twice!

Get yourself a nice Makita from B &Q or Sfix for £100 and it will last you for a good while.

increase your budget. screwfix are doing a good ryobi deal at the mo. I wouldnt buy a budget Makita. I've had 2 in a year, the chuck is really poor quality, it got stolen out my van at the weekend, Im pleased its gone, someone will buy it in a pub and be very unhappy

Hi Naz

I have an unused brand new Makita still in the box and has never been opened (it was a present to one of my ex boyfriends from one of his friends) which is worth £100 but you can have for £40. Do you live anywhere near Manchester? If you tell me how to email you on here then get in touch.

Hi Threadjacker

It doesn't matter what my ex wants back. He made his choice and must live with the consequences.
