Recommended cordless screwdriver ?

[johnnyhamster]

The batteries have gone on my Black and Decker cordless screwdriver - the replacements cost more than the original tool itself. Is any store doing a good deal around the £50 mark at the moment? I'm not a heavy user so don't need to splash out on a professional tool.

B&Q have in store a Makita 14.4 drill and 14.4 screwdriver in a twin pack hard case for £99. I don't know how many batteries it has and I think they are ni cad but it is defo worth a look. (couldn't find it on their website)

I didn't want to steal Big-Al's limelight but now you come to mention it...

The Bosch although a fantastic little driver, will be well over your £50 budget. Are we talking just a driver or a drill too?
