Impact Driver Deals & Offers

I wonder who got the power pack...

Yep, expired

Great bit of kit

Snap!!

Use this myself monster of a tool, Once you go down the impact driver and seperate screw/drill driver you wonder how you ever got by. I have 2 x 5aH and these just run and run easily see a 2-3+ days worth of use on site per battery I'm pretty sure the larger batteries (4aH and 5aH) also increase the torque of the impact driver

no. just no.

This is a good manufacturer. If you are a hobbyist , or a first-time home owner, or this is your first cordless drill, then this is a good buy. Maybe you will be doing framing or decking or something that needs 'wallop' and newtons of torque and you will have to upgrade one day. But these will always be there, for the domestic stuff, the everyday stuff. COCo

How about this one, DHP482RF 18v LXT combi hammer drill, 1x 3.0ah battery, charger and case. Comes to £116 with the voucher. Looks similar to the white version sold at Screwfix for £140.

Ok, so for those who are saying to go for an LXT instead, can anyone recommend a good deal on a LXT drill, battery, and charger? I see plenty of deals on bare units but not so much on a complete set.

Looks like Makita price was an error but you really don't need to pay the extra for DIY use certainly for drills. You want a decent saw cut then yes as all the cheaper ones seem to lose their settings and you are constantly having to adjust the angles for horizontal and vertical cut but at well over half the price sometimes it's worth the effort. When I used to work for a joinery company we bought Makita and DeWalt drills. Had quite a few failures on the Makita drills and sanders. No failures on the DeWalt drills and all Makita Sanders were eventually replaced with Hitachi. Bosch blue brand also performed well.

Yeah, pity that but to be honest though I was actually thinking of cancelling this 10.8v set to go for an 18v LXT drill with a little more oomph. I've posted a deal for one that I'm thinking of buying where the seller has 20% off at the moment on Ebay.

Looks like our Makita orders have been cancelled (mad)

Went to 2 of my local ones, not 1 single titan tool anywhere

That's nonsense. 10.8v tools are fine for many jobs, especially DIY in the home, it all depends on what you are using it for

Watched a YouTube video that showed that higher capacity batteries (i.e 4Ah vs 1.5Ah) lead to the impact driver being able to exert more torque. Obviously depends on the jobs you're doing as to whether the extra torque helps. Watch from 10 mins into video: https://youtu.be/JVMwp4Hm7OQ

Your 1st image is a few pence out and the 2nd one the VAT element is correct

Right own up which mod can’t do maths?

I bought the bare unit from ebay with the 15% code for £67.67p

Ah fair enough I did do a search but it didn’t come up. Anyway 2 batteries over one, heavier driver to use with 1 bigger battery unlike 1 smaller one, less fatigue on the arm. Always got the power with flexibility- 2 batteries over 1. Non prime price possibly more money? Problem? Just pop back to tool station who’ll sort it there and then - not sure if you’ll get that with amazon? That’s all I’ve got (excited)

If you want a couple of spare batteries for this then it's cheaper to buy their drill kit. Assuming of course they are the same batteries. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hilka-Pro-Craft-18v-Lithium-Ion-2-x-Battery-Cordless-Drill-Driver/173086777059?_trkparms=aid=555017&algo=PL.CASSINI&ao=1&asc=20151005190540&meid=7bd5a8cf4738468b89cf9c2aa49b4a5b&pid=100505&rk=1&rkt=1&&itm=173086777059&_trksid=p2045573.c100505.m3226&redirect=mobile

Voted hot

Almost all impact drivers have a 1/4” hex drive unless it’s as you say an impact wrench in which case it’s likely to be 1/2” and above. This will be fine for DIY’ in fact it’ll be more then fine assuming it’s 150nm as your unlikely to need anywhere near that for around the house DIY.

I've never owned an impact driver... is 1/4" insufficient for your average hobby diy-er? I'd understand if we were talking about an impact wrench but they are different tools no?

We can't all have the length we want

Just clicked on site it's now £26.99 + £4.99 P&P

That's pretty decent for the price.

Max torque 120Nm

Not a silly question, and yes, but only to drive screws and nothing else. Once you have used an impact driver for that you will never pick up a drill driver for screws again.

I got most of my makita kit cheap from wickes clearances in the past their stock system is junk though I think Diane Abbot may have been involved in its creation. good luck to whoever gets there first.

230V Makita tools for £20 include: Jigsaw, 720W (stocked in Boston, Burton on-Trent & Swansea) www.wickes.co.uk/Makita-4350CT-Orbital-Action-Jigsaw---720W/p/100046 SDS drill, 800W (stocked in Wimbledon, Sutton, Slough & Glasgow) www.wickes.co.uk/Makita-HR2611FT-SDS%2B-Rotary-Hammer-Drill-110V---800W/p/104244

Considering Wickes stock the batteries for these at £49.99 each, these packs would be pretty cheap

And when you get there?? Oh sorry can't find it!! Worth a go if you live nearby.

But not like a tesco deal. It actually shows which store has them.

I grabbed the Combi Drill from Amazon a little while ago when it was on a DOTD and i'm really happy with it. This seems to be a great set. Thanks @bargainhunter4

Excellent drill, best of all, the batteries are inter-changeable with other Bosch One-4-all kit

Thank you, OP. Weirdly, you posted this about three minutes after I'd decided to get this little set, and it's a tenner less than the rarely in stock b&q price & a great deal below most other retailers. (The driver alone is usually a ton twenty with two batteries, so a dinky drill for a fiver is how it sold to me. After a week of hard use I'm very impressed with the driver & wondering how I ever got by without one. Cheers.

Not a bad deal. £25 more than what I paid when I bought them individually (Amazon Prime £55 for the combi + 2 batteries and B&Q £45 for the impact body only). I use them both and they are brilliant especially the impact driver for screwing. The combi is good but not powerful like the 6500 RE corded hammer drill which is about the same price and far superior (but corded).

£79.95 now

Good to know , I've heard some bad stories about there customer service

Dewalt will also do that, without any fuss.

Point I was trying to get at was that Amazon will sort you out with a refund or replacement without any fuss up to 12 months , trying to do that with small companies even though it's the law doesn't always work as simply as you'd expect (y)

Actually that no longer exists but this replaces it Consumer contracts regulations

Brilliant price if you find one!

Owning this ome for three years i didn't expect it to last and withstand the abuse but it is still working with no problems just two battery's are a must buy with confidence

OOS nationwide according to DIY.com

Good price for the 18v.

Nice one

I have a code for 10% off £40 spend. PM me if anyone is interested.

What kind of an attitude is that...! 😁 buy buy buy!!!

Called Screwfix it was discontinued a year ago & shouldn't be on the website , shame good price..

I have some makita 18v equivalent (which does the business for ikea to car bolts) I don't suppose these will add much to the arsenal would it? I'm thinking portability (in tight areas) and weight.

This is a bargain, and let's not forget this driver is so cute!.

Try machine mart

Looking for an impact wrench to use on my car.....this ones a little out of budget...any one know the best budget one to look at? Thanks...

Looks quailty. I am tied into milwaukee though

Okay if you've not got the kit already but its cheaper (and a bit more hassle) to get the bits separately 2 x Batteries £110 https://www.powertoolmate.co.uk/Products/004000060013/BL1850%2FE?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzYjOoqL33QIVhojVCh2FLwxfEAYYAiABEgIsP_D_BwE Tool (Body Only) £139 https://www.powertoolmate.co.uk/Products/00400006000b/EB%2FMAKDTW285Z?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkeL0xaH33QIVir3tCh3d4g8LEAQYAiABEgImnPD_BwE Charger £28 https://www.powertoolmate.co.uk/Products/004000060013/DC18RC%2F2%2FE Case - it doesnt state which one you get with it but a makpac case is less than £20 delivered. So £297 total or £16 saving

I haven't used it yet for grout removal yet but the other tools seem fine for low powered use so I expect it to be OK. My only concern when reading about using them for grout removal is that they can damage the glazed edges thus exposing the "biscuit". I have bought several blades supposedly for grout removal but none are particularly thin. Someone suggested using a worn saw blade instead. But if they are now £50 they are a steal.

Buy it for 50!!!! These are awesome tools. Trust me you'll never look back with regret

How did you get on with the multitool for grout removal? Just seen that these are now 50 quid but assumed that they were too low powered. Considering price now having second thoughts. Update on performance appreciated. Cheers robatt9th

Which stores were these available in?

Go to the tradepoint ask for the manager.
