    Batteries not included
    No charger
    Prob no hard case
    Ad is very misleading
    Its prob normal price for bare impact driver.
    Cant see where theres a 70% reduction at all

    Not reduced at all imo add shouldn't show the battery imo as it gives you the impression that get the battery

    120 euro here in Ireland and 159 sterling in the UK

    The RRP is misleading but it's almost £100 cheaper than powertoolworld where I usually get my tools online.

    Seems like a bargain.

    The orignal model seems to have a digital 4mode torque setting but the add is wrong scroll down a bit more and you can get batteries and charger for about 308 pounds no mention of a case

    Thanks for quick replies, yep I knew the battery&charger would need be bought separate alright, = main reason I'm not so tempted. Just seemed like the impact driver itself was still going cheap though maybe

    If you are a complete novice you probably aren't going to get full use out of a tool like that. The other point about it which makes it a decent tool is that its brushless that also puts it in a price bracket above similar tools that use brushes.

    You will get massive variations in price especially on Amazon. Decide what you really need and watch the price camelcamelcamel.com will give you an idea if its worth waiting for a better deal https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B07MQF12DZ shows this tool was as low as £126 back in February but also as much as £255. The prices are put up so they can be put down again if that makes any sense :D
