For anybody looking at this, makita do a 36v range which takes 2x18v batterys. If you already use makita kit it makes sense to stick with the same batterys you already have, or get additional batterys you can use with other kit.

"cathartic" ? Strange spelling of lethargic.

Cheaper and less hassle buying the one-battery kit from Anglia at £379.96 (with discount code) in that case, but the second battery is more than worth the extra £50, if only to sell on. If you're not already invested in 36v Bosch, there's better available for less, for example, Milwaukee M18CHPX is a better specced drill (brushless, higher impact energy, more blows-per-minute, higher RPM, lighter in weight) and can be got for about the same as this Bosch, but with 2x 5ah batteries (or less with 2x 4ah). Considering the Bosch is 36v, it's very underwhelming really. That's probably why the fella looks so angry, his mate's just shown him his Milwaukee and he's realised he bought the wrong drill :D

if she is dimples i would love to get her on her knees :D

Not to mention knee pads, wouldnt want her to get dimples on her knees

Ah well, a mistake you'll never make again ay chap :{ Yeah I've seen that one, its a DCD776 but ideally I'd like the DCD785 with the 2 batteries. We shall see.

Yeah not my finest hour :D B&Q have the lower-end DeWalt on at £87 if it's any good? Only one battery though.

Bloody hell! As I said in my original post, I'm holding on for a Dewalt... her indoors has grand plans and I want to erect my shed :p

Mine only came with one battery, so like an idiot I bought another, the fast charger and a new chuck, and before I knew it I'd spent over £100. I think that's what you call throwing good money after bad! :D I used it about three times, realised it was still no good, then sold it for about £60 all-in. A very poor purchase on my part.

It does get some very good reviews but, as you say, it does get some bad ones too especially regarding the hammer action.

I have this one and the chuck isn't great doesn't seem to hol drill bits well they always seem to come loose and stick in the work peice. Its fine as a screwdriver as the bits are hex shaped.

I have several Guild drills and they're very good but I honestly wouldn't recommend this one. Small battery, weak motor and the battery isn't interchangeable with other guild products. I'm not even sure that you can get extra/replacement batteries. If it's your first/only drill I'd honestly suggest one of the other Guild drills (extra batteries currently just £12.99 which is terrific) or better still if you can stretch to this one (link below) you'll get two batteries plus lots of drill bits, etc all in a neat case to keep them together and tidy; perfect for the ocassional DIYer: http://www.argos.co.uk/product/8086545

Ideal as a screwdriver ,1.3 ah pretty useless . Better with aldi one, 3 year warranty ,20v,and 2ah battery.Same money.

Ideal for the average DIYer

I've got this. Quality bit of kit, especially at this price.

Cheaper than a new key. :/

This deal will probably get hammered but I think it's great

Clearing Valentine's Day stock...

Forged not forge. Looks like clumsy American English is taking over the world. Almost as silly skim milk.

Got one as a recent valentines gift... had a right smashing time with it (cheeky)

Stock update 4 on shelf in Southampton. Same price. Would have jumped on it if I hadn't gone for the Makita I posted the other day

Apologies. They are kept in the (anti-jumble sale) glass secure display cabinet. There were 6 left in the Camborne store. Hopefully not the last batch in the country.

Yep.

meh deal

Got a set a couple of years ago for £89.99. Great kit for a DIY'er

Keep that thing away from me, the last one I had just constantly kept beeping... ;)

Ha, I think they need a proofreader :D

A corded battery drill or am i missing something ?

I think all Black and Decker products come with a 2 year warranty. Seemed like a pretty good deal to me, especially as the stud detector alone is worth around £20.

Owned the black and Decker for a couple of years, used only approx a dozen times. It went in the bin as the chuck collapsed. On the plus side, the case is quite nice.

Its was never available i clicked the link in the first hour and its been discontinued ???

If £40 is your max budget then it's not a bad deal, but for an extra £15 your money's better spent on the Makita MT-series drill from B&Q or Screwfix- it's 50% more powerful and has a three-year trade warranty as opposed to a domestic (DIY) one.

The product is discontinued ???

Actually, it should be a tripple pack for Peter, Paul *and* Mary.

His and Hers?

STOP. Hammer time

The other is framing hammer.

if you look they are not the same one is a claw and the other is flatter to get better angles on removing nails etc

Gotta love B&Q's description and marketing blurb. TLDR "£1 hammer"

My local and now out of stock. I’ll give you £2 for one?

10x OP!!! just ordered one. (popcorn)

Same here

Just happened to me as well.

There is a pun there somewhere.

Should be useful for the ATOS sign I keep driving past to work (lol)

Cold, not a super sledge.

Fairs fair, without his post you would have missed mine ;)

Heat giving but going to HomeBase ( in stock by me ) tom ;)

Wow, this thread seems to have got well out of hand! Whichever side of the unnecessary argument you were on, thanks for your opinion. I'll take the cold with the hot. Clearly I believed in the post or I wouldn't have taken the time to make it but I've learned a few things here. Clearly the people have voted and the vote is freezing cold. Think I'll expire this one before someone gets hurt! (:I

Not promoting any particular alternative but cannot understand your obsession with brushless. Please explain why a brushed combi shouldn't be considered. BTW, having checked, the bosch mentioned is, in fact, a combi so it does have hammer action (still not promoting it, just setting the record straight for those who are considering all sensible options).

It's just a drill ffs, chill people! I own the bosch blue personally but with 3x 1.5ah batteries. Very light, put a summer house together without issue. Have since ordered a 4ah battery but am yet to need it.

?

I like my cordless power tools like I like my women, easy to pick up, full of stamina and does the job first time. Yes, I am that shallow 🙄

do Don't worry i'll tag you in when she's done (cheeky)

(lol) (lol) (highfive)

You'll need to eat fast to have that popcorn done in 5 minutes ;)

Haha i would! ;)

I wouldn't bring your popcorn to that show (flirt)

1.5A say no more.

Haha nice one!

Quality seems ok have had a look at them plenty of stock in my Homebase Newcastle Staffs but should be national

No definitely a club one seen one there the weekend , on the other hand might of been stoned, don't now which is right one now?

Wasn't quite what I meant when I said I wanted to get hammered
