I tried the drill out the other day and the higher torque motor (compared to my Makita 8396 drill) ate the concrete blocks I was drilling into.
Seems like the lowest price (for this particular deal) uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Mak…BFI
I've just noted it's even cheaper at £179 via the 'other sellers' and choosing UKtoolMart - that's the supplier I got mine from and had no issues.
I've edited the original post accordingly.
I see it is also available from Amazon themselves for £182.56...might be worth paying the bit extra to buy direct/use up any voucher codes or Amex offer to get £5 off.
Yep, maybe the second battery won't be of use to the average DIY'er.

The drill is superb a real pro piece of kit and still gets Hot from me at that price.
I'm not in the trade and nor am I trying to plug my own thread, but the Wera bits are generally very well regarded (google them). Here is an offer on Amazon:
hotukdeals.com/dea…283
Know what you mean about having cheap ones that keep slipping/rounding off!
Wera are very good as mentioned above. But can be a bit pricey. Have a look at milwaukee shockwave bits. I find them long lasting and reasonably priced too.
I too was looking at wera bits untill someone suggested i try milwaukee shockwave bits. (They are made for use in an impact driver so can stand up to alot of abuse in my experience)
Buy one just to enjoy the pleasure of owning a man tool.
For Christmas my wife bought me the Makita twin pack tool case drill with the red batteries but I really fancy the one in this deal. Can anyone out my mind at rest please?
She said I can take the present back and didn't even pull one of her faces - so it now or never
Please help
Hope this convinces you.
Could be the best xmas deal posted for 2013.
Try this - u can mix n match - 1 ba ttery TO HELP THE COSTS DOWN GIVEN THE SHORT TIME CHARGE U CAN ARGUE A CASE FOR 1 BATTERY ONLY. Careful of what you actually buy in terms of the model though. Good luck.

Gonna plump for the drill with two batteries
Would spend all Christmas wondering if I missed the boat looking at my big drill batteries.
Thanks for your help
Secondly, I'm surprised Makita still sells the Ni-cad ones for around £100.
The warranty period of your Makita tool may be extended to an additional 2 years subject to the following conditions:
Makita Tools that are CE marked and (with the exceptions of Batterie, Battery Chargers, Accessories, Petrol Products, Production Tools and Air Tools and Compressors) purchased on or after 1st July 2012.
The tool is registered by the end user within 30 days of purchase.
If this is in the home improvement category, remember the 6.5% quidco that ends this week (not sure if only works at Amazon themselves or third party too).
I get the VAT back so am not bothered about quidco. Why you would want 2 drills to drive and combi is a bit kitchen fitter. This drill will knock houses down at 2.3kg and, more importantly 88N torque is stunning. Not for weaklings or, really DIY - it is a serious bit of kit. I lurrrve it. If u want a simple house DIY then you could do a lot worse than the Stanley Fat Max on offer at homebase for under £80. I have one and it is worth every penny - but would not earn its keep on site. Nicely balanced drill with metal chuck n gears .
This drill at this price is a steal - get one.
Having said that I'm using the small makita 10v impact driver all the time at the moment, great even for 5" screws.
As with most things (especially building tools) you get what you pay for, if you only ever screw sub 1 inch screws into softwood then the cheapest ones from a pound shop will suffice. Once you get into larger/longer screws quality counts. As mentioned Wera are good but pricey, so are Milwaukee.
Beware of good make (Bosch, Makita, De Walt) cheap screwdriver sets, these companies have a tendency to sell quality tools but inferior Chinese accessories. Best bet is to go to Screwfix or Toolstop to see the ranges available & buy the best you can justify.
As for this drill, it's a really good deal, I just ordered one, the batteries are worth well over £100 & I'll sell the charger for circa £25, so I get the drill & case for £40-£50, I may well sell my older model drill for £50 plus, so a bargain to me as you can NEVER have too many batteries.
The build quality is instantly noticable as more solid and professional (not just all plastic casing) and it feels damned solid. The removable handle means more stable drilling if required. 22 mins to charge the battery is excellent.
I think for me at least it's the higher torque that I'll find the most useful as drill into masonary quite often.

Time travellers will be pleased to note this was a mere £99 a month back and then £115 a few weeks back (I got one at that price, yey!) but even at £136 it's a superb deal I think.
Tosh!
Where and when exactly?????

Like I said, it's only really useful for time travellers (there's a few on here that bleat on about deals being cold because an item used to be cheaper)
You, my friend, would not last until breakfast on site. Do you seriously expect us to believe what you have posted?
Please do not use a ladder under the circumstances you describe. Get someone who knows what they are doing. One handed use? Please. Diamond/granite drill bits are the way forward not cheap tat! There is no DIY comparison. Sorry.
A well thought out intellectual reply, full of useful information for the posters enquiry.
You are one strange fella that's for sure...
Insert this into your pipe and smoke it

I was merely referring to driving in say a pozi screw whilst up a ladder eg installing an alarm bell box, not using a diamond / granite drill bit. One handed use - yes I'm sure most people drive screws in 1 handed! All I wanted please was a recommendation for a bit holder and good pozidriv bit.
Where is the £99 deal?
