Driver Deals & Offers

Li-ion. Can recommend the 2Ah ones, I have a few from previous kits that charge fast and last a long time. eBay knockoffs available too at a cheaper rate but not tried any as of yet.

Are those Nicad batteries?

No they aren't. They are both part of the Kingfisher Group.

I'd often agree - I never shop at B&Q unless there's something specific only they stock, however they're one of the only stores that sell Ryobi along with homebase. (Screwfix don't), so typically online is the only choice

One gripe with Ryobi, hard to find comparisons between all the different models to see which is the newest and to compare features.

Sammboy, do you have this actual set? The write up on the B&Q page says the drill has hammer function. I was going to buy one but this may put me off if it is incorrect. A combi drill would complement an impact driver much better than a normal drill driver as it then covers all uses. Thanks for the tip off if this is the case as my local BQ is out of stock so was going to travel 45 minutes to get one. Having said that, even if it is lacking hammer function it is still a very good deal.

I have this pair. It's really worth for the bucks. Just to confirm this particular drill doesn't have hammer function. On the other hand impact driver put on crazy power.

Oh 😴

You could always train for a few years, but I suppose the offer will be gone then ;) still you will have a trade that will be fairly useless in a country that does not build enough houses and has crumbling infrastructure :) on a serious note most of the trade point stuff is the same price! https://www.diy.com/departments/jcb-cordless-18v-2ah-li-ion-brushed-drill-impact-driver-with-2-batteries-with-1pc-50mm-double-ended-screwdriver-bit-jcb-18v-2-kit/5055803339265_BQ.prd see B+Q open to all with the cash :)

Trade only though so not available to most unfortunately

Thanks!

Thanks for post @Claudiu.Corogianu I've edited the price to include VAT (y)

If only it came with an impact driver too... Looks like a good drill My old bosch one is on its last legs

Oh, Matron!

This tool is soooo lovely...

Just seen that sorry, HP not DHP!

It's a good price for the kit but, I'd save your money and try and get something like the DHP482 or for a bit more the DHP458. More often than not it's cheaper to buy Makita kit piece by piece. I also wouldn't buy anything less than 4.0Ah batteries nowadays with the price now down close to £40 and £50 for the 5.0Ah ones. This drill is good enough for light DIY but nothing else. Finally I would try and get the DC18RC quick charger with any kit - charging times for the model in this kit 1.5Ah charge time - 30 minutes3.0Ah charge time - 60 minutes4.0Ah charge time - 90 minutesand the quick charger Charge Time (1.5Ah): 15 minsCharge Time (2.0Ah): 18 minsCharge Time (3.0Ah): 22 minsCharge Time (4.0Ah): 36 minsCharge Time (5.0Ah): 45 mins

I got this drill and it suffered chuck wobble from the word go. I might have just been unlucky with my particular unit... :|

As spannerzone pointed out the one on Amazon is a weaker drill/battery, this one you can use all the LXT batteries

That's a G series drill and not LXT series.

Hot from me! Nice find Op.

;( ;( ;( I paid £174 last week

For people looking to buy a combi drill for the occasional use, you most definitely don't need one with two batteries. A great deal nonetheless so heat from me!

Yes That's for the price for the bare drill only

Link to this similar deal that includes 2 x 4ah, charger and case please?

Amazon are selling the drill for the same price but not sure it comes with case and certainlt no accessories. Only advantage is they are doing Prime same day delivery if need it urgently... https://www.amazon.co.uk/DEWALT-DCF887M1-GB-Brushless-Lithium-Ion-Impact/dp/B079QBH3YB

Northern Ireland.

Yes it's working now. Voted hot.

Working for me, 10+ available. Free UK postage. Heat.

With the case that holds all but not bit set, can get those pretty cheap.

I agree, but some people don't seemed bothered so posted the deal. LXT for me every time.

Sorry, got to vote cold. After extensive reading about G- versus LXT-range, comments were unanimous: go for Makita’s LXT-range everytime.

Odd, it works on my mobile. Not able to check on my pc.

Nope

Yes HUKD affiliate links is not working for some reason. This should work: https://www.powertoolworld.co.uk/makita-hp457dw-g-series-18v-combi-drill-inc-1x-1-5ah-battery Apologies if it's me, this is first time using mobile to submit deal (never again!!)

Also got mine yesterday. It comes in the box in this link: https://www.hotukdeals.com/visit/comment/37842195/16149153 When you open the box, the top compartment is like so: You can lift that up and then you'll see the following: Placeholder used to store the drill, spare battery and charger. You can however, remove this and will free up a lot of space for additional tools. Will allow you to place much more tools inside when removed, Technically you can even remove the top compartment and just have it all in one box but that's too messy for my personal liking. Very pleased with my purchase so shout out to OP for posting the deal. Now I just need to find out how to use a drill and all of the pieces...

Just got mine today, and it comes in the box in the first link.

Thanks man been looking for something like this

thanks just bought one

Will let you know when mine arrives next week (though, the offer may expire by then (:I) Though, isn't the toolbox the same as this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WORX-large-toolbox-with-toolkit-Fits-various-tools-wx800-WX386-Wx290-hydroshot/264305544039?hash=item3d89d68b67:g:TQoAAOSwRxpcwpPU&frcectupt=true If so, it should fit inside. That said, you can get the drill case for a tenner off eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WORX-WX384-18V-20V-Brushless-Motor-Cordless-Combi-Hammer-Drill-CASE-ONLY/264215610598?hash=item3d847a44e6:g:Er0AAOSw1rpcFQTA

Yes you definatly are.

Never mentioned overall... "far better for in confined spaces as the battery is physically smaller."

Yes it could be easier to use but would not call it better overall.

I’m not sure you’ve understood my point - the Bosch 10.8 range was renamed to 12, but either way is (or at least, was)the smallest drill/driver in its class. The battery forms part of the handle rather than being a square at the base

no is not, charger from dewalt charge 10.8 ,14.4 and 18v batteries do not think bosch is able to do it

Thanks, I was (and still am) a bit confused about the DHP480SYE that I linked to, as I couldn't find any further official info on that specific model. It says it has 54Nm torque on the Screwfix website, which is a bit more than the one in this HUK deal (45Nm), so I wondered if it was a better model just sold with a different configuration of batteries?

many thanks for the info!

Its a good capable combi from the spec, but the 2 x 1.5ah batteries are small capacity, but light weight. It does come with the rapid charger; so faster charging times than the charger provided with the above deal. It's not a drill I own. You may be able to keep swapping the 1.5 ah between drill and charger in time for bigger tasks. I don't own a battery less than 3ah and I reserve that one for my radio as it just doesn't last long enough in my tools. I can't offer any insight into how long a 1.5ah battery will last in a brushless combi. Anyone else??

Apologies for the delay. Your Bosch is a max torque of 28Nm, so this deal will be a step up. The DHP 458 is a heavy, top end combi drill. I only use it for heavy duty tasks. If you've been using it for a while, your arms and wrists know about it. Same for the DHP481. You can pick up a good condition second hand DHP458 on eBay for about £45 to £50; naked.

but DHP458 costs at least £170-£180 with a battery and charger..not really comparable to this one..

I got this drill but with one 1.5 battery for £85 on a previous post from wickes. Excellent drill for my needs.

Sounds like this is a pick and mix drill combo with having different batteries in the case?

Use code M25 for free drills on any order.

Updated, apologies missed the VAT was missing. Thanks all

Heat.... now put the inclusive or price

Anything similar with less batteries? Need a set myself!

Excellent kit but slightly cheaper at Lawson HIS

Drill/driver is just that, a drill and also a driver for screws, identified by two logos on the chuck, one drill nd other screw driver. Combination drills/drivers can do more more than one job. For example a hammer drill can do drilling,driving and also has hammer action for masonry etc.

Thanks. But what’s the term used for electric screwdriver? Both that one and this deal one are listed as drill drivers. Or am I missing something really obvious here?! (confused)

For ~£4 more you can get it as a combi (dhp453) with hammer mode too. Admittedly it’s no sds but it’ll certainly be better than nothing on the odd occasion you might need it.

Now £43.11 and prime member exclusive too..
