The B&Q and screwfix search facilities are almost useless.

A good tip is to use google, just go to google and then type the keyword that you want to search for then a space and "site:" and then the site-

AEG site:www.diy.com

So that will search diy.com for the word AEG

Much better than their own search engine :wink:

Before I order one of these, just one more question... (always asking!)

I always thought as a rule of thumb, the higher the battery voltage, the better it is. So with this one being 14.4v is going to be lacking a bit in the power department?

Voltage ain't neccessarily the problem..torque and Amp Hour of the battery are...my Ryobi 14.4v is more powerful than my B&Q 24Volt.....

Totally agree. My 18v Ryobi was more powerful than my neighbours Challenge 24v and my Ryobi is a lot older than his.

Plus the battery charge time with his drill is 5 hours. The Ryobi is an hour.
