    This seems decent. Handy to have. Delivery is bad price though.

    I've been working loads lately, have very little time to check, but i saw this in an email as i was clearing out my inbox, and i haven't compared it to any other prices.

    If nothing else, i might just use it to point at my head...

    Before anyone complains about Pixmania, apparently their service is a lot better since Dixons Retail took them over.

    More power in 1 of my farts than in that yoke.



    You will do a far better job by using a screwdriver and your hand.

    You will also pick up a propper 14v or 18v cordless screwgun/drill these days for 30-40 euro,.

    Yep, just noticed as i was deciding to make the order. That's not a great shipping price.
    It did say in the Email that delivery was free, so maybe that was the deal.

    Not such a great price with that delivery added.

    I had that one before for about 1 year,before the charger wire frayed on me and became too dangerous to use.

    Good drill for general and light DIY around the house.:)

    Would the wire not be carrying just low voltage DC?

    Not your ornery onager

    The wire frayed and more or less snapped right where at the sealed plug/transformer.

    Shorted out on me twice while trying to recharge the battery.:(

    I bought a Mac 18V cordless with 2 Lithium batteries in B&Q with a 50 minute charge time for 50 euro last year.

    Also bought a Parkside mains powered SDS Impact/Hammer Drill in Lidl for 40 euro last year too.

    Serious bit of kit for feck all euros.:D

    Saw one in Aldi very similar over the weekend - Li-Ion battery too

    Just under 14 euros I think.

    “Roll it back”
