Power drill

.

How much is 'not too much'?
Have a look here - they do cheap ones and not-so-cheap ones, and free next day delivery if you spend over £45

If you want a decent corded one for a reasonable amount, how about the Bosch GBH2-26DRE 2Kg Hammer. A lovely little number

I have a makita 8390 that I got from screwfix just before christmas, comes in a case with 3 batts. Its been fantastic, it drove in 750 decking screws last weekend effortlessly with no fatigue to me. I paid £99 and thought I'd got a bargain, now the buggers are selling it at £79

Do we, shows how much I know dont it !!!

Hint.. and I shouldnt say this, but dont buy the cheap stuff we sell it really is rubbish.

As for toolstation, they are the devil...

The Makita and the Dewalt stuff is normally OK though

I got a B&Q own brand. Really cheap and I've had it for 5 years. Still works. If it breaks I'll spend another 30 quid.

Yer, I got a Mac Allister 1Kw hammer drill from B+Q ?79ish - it's the dog's dangly bits! And it comes with something silly like a 3 or 4 year guarantee

Are you looking to be working for a discount jewellers?

The be fair to Screwfix, I recently bought on item that cost a few pence less that the amount needed to get the free delivery. The nice lady asked if I needed anything else to push it over the threshold, I got 99p worth of Stanley blades, not every company will do that.

I have the same one, most of my tools are Mac Allister which is the B&Q own brand. I was a bit sceptical at first but they are superb. I can highly reccomend their impact driver too!
