Impact Driver Deals & Offers

I can confirm that the drills both have LEDs....

Ah has nothing to do with power. A 1.5ah battery has identical power to a 5ah battery. The only difference is run time.

??? 'Two speed all metal transmission for increased runtime and longer tool life'.

The higher the number the more powerful the tool you are using will be and also last longer. 2ah / 3ah more than ample for any diy at home and will still last 5 or 6 hours with casual use. If using for a bit more than diy ideally 4ah or more would be preferable.

Bad

I'd second that. The DCF887 is brushless and has more torque and is imho a bit more refined overall. I buy my tools in general from FFX (Folkstone Fixings) and when I upgraded from the DCF885 to the DCF887 due to someone stealing the former it was £80 (bare) there a month or so back so well worth it. But this is a fair price for the DCF885 posted by OP.

Honestly, it's worth spending a little more and getting the DCF887. It's a much better tool, although this isn't bad.

12 VOLT . 12 VOLT as stated already - not for me.

Are these good for screwing?

Done.

I think it should be stated in the title that these are 12 VOLT not 18 volt.

The older version batteries were compatible, not these ones

Now ebays doing 10% off everything. U can get the tool for £67.49

£3 more from powertool on ebay.. available all day everyday. Wouldve cost less with the 15% off from the other day

I agree, it should be put out at the front with a decent reduction on it as ‘ used ‘ or ‘ open box ‘ etc. I bought a drill from screwfix a couple of years ago and that had been used before I’d bought it. I took it back ( being local ) and they exchanged it no problem, I don’t know what they did with the returned item but suspect they may have just put it back into stock.

I will be doing that, but that's not the point, it's a complete waste of my time and its terrible business practice. Thanks for the number, I've already emailed them.

Take it back for a refund telling them it’s been used or phone them to complain tel:03330112112

Wouldn't use them again - I just collected a mitre saw I bought from them, wasn't reduced, full price, I opened it as soon as I got back as it looked like it had been opened and taped closed again - obvious now that some bought it before me, used it, then returned it and they just stuck it back in stock! - Absolute joke!

Interesting, appreciate the time taken to rely. Cheers!

Drill was and is great. Brexit however was a let down..

31st Dec 2019 have you just come from the future to tell us this - how good was the drill? did it last the whole year? should I buy it??

Just purchased this cheers op :)

The OP makita or this? 18 v but know not of this makes reputation. screwfix.com/p/erbauer-eri742kit-18v-2-0ah-li-ion-cordless-combi-drill-impact-driver-twin-pack/9478T?

it can drive 4" screws into wooden beams and everything easier (e.g. Ikea Malm chest of drawers screw bonanza)

Managed to source one (with the 4ah drill) on the other side of the country and family member collected :) Thanks op

Picked one up today. Really impressed with it already.

Just picked one up. And I already have the drill with two 3ah batteries

Just picked up 2 of these. And one 18v drill that was mentioned. Over the moon. Had a gift card that i had for over a year. Card cost me £90

No stock near me, I could do with one of these........

Great product (I have one!) not so great price as per camelcamelcamel graph above.

Since October 2017 the lowest it’s been is £51.99, the highest is £60, I suspect that’s why this is going cold.

Awful drills! Save your money. Buy a cheaper generic set for half the price.

"This Makita cordless Li-Ion combi drill and impact driver kit is best suited for drilling." Doesn't make sense to me :/

Yep. Can live with 3ah (been fine for my house restoration) but lack of torque and no work light would be the deal breaker for me.

More power, less drain on battery and no brushes to change eventually, all the latest cordless gear is brushless but more money of course

Longer run time, more power, battery last longer. These are only really light DIY drills.

Bosch is not a bad brand. I invested in God knows how many Bosch branded tools and appliances when we bought our new home a few years back. Well the power tools are probably the first batch I regreted. If you talk about price, a Makita DTD152Z is currently the same price on Amazon. But that one is a full 35Nm more powerful than this one. In real life, you do feel that difference when you need to break loose a rusty bolt. Besides, Makita system is just more professional, if you ask anyone from a building site.

But also £6.95 delivery for me on top. (N. Ireland & Scottish Highlands )

Thanks, not in any rush but great price.

Thank you (y)

Sucks there's no adapter for Bosch green batteries to be used on blue tools.. I was looking for a Bosch green 18v impact myself for no real reason other than I want one - the combi drill is usually fine for me.. The green impact is way too expensive. I should have paid a bit more so I could add more tools using the same battery. Everything aside from the combi drill in the green range is over priced..

Mm better deal on at B&Q for the same money, Bosch too.

1.5Ah batteries;(

Same price @ Amazon ( if you can't find stock in Argos )

Agreed. Good tools but this is a silly combination.

Agree with this ^

I'm sure you can get better, and maybe the batteries aren't big enough for a professional, but at this price these are a major bargain for the DIYer.

The ‘ drill driver ‘ is really quite useless as the combi drill will do everything the driver does anyway so pointless buying the pair. Better off buying a combi drill & impact driver set - B&Q are doing a nice Bosch set for £100 well worth it.

All erbauer tools getting updated I think, these will be cleared out maybe before next catalogue

Ive rebulid a house with one of these drills (not the impact) it handled it good, however getting close on a flat renovation now and I will have to give it a good clean or else I think the dust will kill it

Thanks op, Merry Christmas :)

Just want to say thanks for this. I was in desperate need of these to finish a project but was waiting for the right price. Just been using the impact driver, top piece of kit. Both came with drill bits which was handy too. Got lucky and got the last one in the Preston store. Cracking price when you consider the individual price of the drills.

£50 notes apiece, I can see this getting warm in here!

This is a great deal for those in need. They aren't professional tools but then most people don't need professional tools I have completely renovated my house with the Bosch green range including 2 of this drill, the impact driver and the cordless jigsaw. Before anyone comments I chose to get 2 of this drill so that I don't have to constantly chop and change between bits for different materials and hole sizes

Purchased the blue cordless hammer version of these. Drill seems very well built. However I did return as when releasing the power button on 2 speed. It had a rather viscous jerk and the sparks where a little ott compared to my other black and decker. Don't know if I had a faulty drill or not. Shame I didn't hold off and give this a go.

This drill is better than my m8 cordless makita.. This will be a good buy for any avarage diy guy

Yes it has 2 batteries

I was in store today and they had plenty on the shelves in East Kilbride. Maybe try your local.

After 2 hrs of DIY I need a cuppa, a fag and a recharge.
