    New code for €15 off when you spend €80.
    Valid until Sunday 29th November
    Code: IEWINTERA


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,916 ✭✭✭Marhay70


    When I saw the 15e off code I said I'd bite the bullet and get a Hitachi drill I had looked at over the weekend for 114e. Guess what? It was 129e tonight.

    howd you manage that delivery is 9 quid


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,877 ✭✭✭matchthis


    I think delivery was free at the time or their was a code also for free delivery


  • Registered Users Posts: 63 ✭✭John C 1981


    Just so you know, if, like me, you place regular orders with Screwfix and you've already used the IEWINTERA code to get €15 off any order over €80, you won't be able to use it again before the end of November.

    You will however, be able to use the code IEWINTERB which will give you the exact same thing. - I just chanced it and it worked.

    Maybe it'll save one or two of ye a few quid...

    Peace & love,

    John C.

    Looking for a hammer drill for hanging pics and odd jobs around the house. Any recommended from here. I'm not sure what would be considered value. Thanks a mill

    Have a look at the Argos.ie website as well. A drill for home use and handyman jobs around the house need not cost the earth. €50 to €70 should suffice. And there's a nice one in Aldi next Thursday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,213 ✭✭✭Keith186


    Might be some of the €55 ones left in Aldi. It's Lidl that are getting them in next week and that one is €60. Very little info on Lidl ad about it but the Aldi one has quick charge (1hr).

    The problem with the Aldi/Lidl drills is they come with only one battery. This may not be a worry for some jobs but it can be a major PITA if your battery dies halfway through a job and you have to wait an hour before you can use it again. Screwfix have decent enough LI-Ion drills starting at €113, which come with two batteries

    If you're looking for a hammer drill I assume you have solid walls in your house. I've tried a few different drills and settled on a makita with a 3amp battery (u can get 4/5amp now). 1.5amp ones dust didn't have any power to get through the brick and all the cheaper ones seem to be like this. I have that for small quick jobs and a Bosch SDS hammer drill for bigger jobs. Every wall in my house is brick.. pain in the arse for hanging pics!

    I don't think you can judge how a drill will perform by the AH. AH is not a measure of power, it's a measure of how long a battery will last if drawing a set amount of current. Theoretically a 1.5A drill could be more powerful than a 3A one depending on build, gearing, circuitry etc. Makita are well built tools, it's quite possible that a Makita drill with a 1.5AH battery would outperform a cheaper brand with a 3AH battery.Torque and speed are probably better measures of performance.

    I got this one in argos back when it was €70. Great for drilling concrete block walls. Not as powerful as a mains drill but perfect for putting up pictures.

    Try different combinations of IRELAND10 e.g. IRELAND5
    I did before XMas and got a fiver off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,069 ✭✭✭✭Seve OB


    Ireland5 works to give a fiver off. Just thought as I seen so many say they got 15 off there might be a code knocking about. Have the basket parked for the moment as not in a major rush to check out so maybe we'll get a code now that I've registered with them

    The site simply allowed free delivery on everything and I used the fiver code to get some stuff FOC, didn't think it would work but I've a rake of free cable ties and concrete screws now!

    ah right, so delivery used to be free no mater what the spend was, but now it's only free if you spend €70. I get ya now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 621 ✭✭✭Bebo stunnah


    Got an email today saying the code MARCH10 gives you €10 off an €80 spend if that's any use.

    May be too late for Steve but using the new code gives him a net profit of €1.
    Spend €4 more to get €10 off or leave it at €76 and get a fiver off.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,069 ✭✭✭✭Seve OB


    I got a tenner off :D

    Actually just needed a few fittings for cloak room. I was going to buy in woodies, price coming in at 61ish. Ended up spending 72ish with screw fix and got a bevy load of extra stuff worth about 40-50 quid which I would have been buying at some stage anyway, so really ended up well over 30 quid to the good by waiting a few days.

    Even more positive, it won't arrive now till Monday at the earliest so it means I have Saturday all to myself with no jobs to do ;)

    Thanks for putting me onto Toolstop, hadn't heard of them.

    I'm looking at:

    Dewalt DCD995P2 18V Cordless XR 3 Speed Brushless Combi Drill (2 x 5Ah Batteries)

    Toolstop 450.40 + 9.30 delivery = 459.70
    Screwfix 540

    over 80 euros in the difference...


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 39,783 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    €10 off a spend of €80 or more.

    Code : APRIL10


  • Registered Users Posts: 29 boarderuser


    Anyone got a code for May, May10 doesnt work or is there no currently active discount codes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭mcsean2163


    Any actual stores in Ireland?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 518 ✭✭✭beerbaron


    None !

    No. They ship from the UK. Many products they have sell have no Irish warranty. Aqualisa and triton showers, salamander pumps and many more products carry no warranty.

    I use screwfix myself from time to time. I'm just saying it takes a little research to find out what actually has an Irish warranty and what doesn't


  • Registered Users Posts: 137 ✭✭geriatric


    Hi

    Does anyone have a Screwfix discount code please?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 129 ✭✭IrishGaz


    Any new ScrewFix codes around?
