Had an email from tooled up, they are doing the bosch 10.8v li-2 mini drill for £109
If you google, you can find £10 vouchers so should work out at under a ton.

I have the driver, and impact driver in this range. Was thinking of getting the mini drill and maybe ditching the driver as I'd probably get more use from the mini drill. Seems like a good price compared to other places.

looks like they've been naughty and got links to their site blocked, but it's easy enough to find the ofer on their site.

For an extra 50 quid you can also get this deal.

Some cracking deals on Bosch

They dont look that they have punch, i have a draper 3.6 and its next to useless.

i bought mine naked for around £77
now theres not a lot of difference in screwing power but because its got a second gear its more versitile [quicker drilling]and of course it has a chuck



apart from the fact its 3 times the power it is a pro tool and as such has plenty off ooomph 60mm screws no probs

Weegie,

Your second link was edited out automatically by the forum software probably because some spammer had used the name or web address to spam previously. It is nothing to do with you.

How many 60mm screws could you drive before it went flat no pilot holes?

dont know but my expectaion would be in excess off 40 or 50
if its important i will try it out for you

are these powerfull enough to do that sort of work?

i assumed they were for light work,small screws eg

a sparky screwing backboxes on etc
plumber screwing pipe clips
joiner, hinge screws/ kitchens

50no 60mm screws is a lot for such a small battery?

[quote="big-all"] i bought mine naked for around £77


hope this was done in the comfort of your own home

must admit i do salavate and drool when i go in to a tool shop, (fully dressed)

elecrticfix had a good deal on a ryobi li ion 18v with a little micro drill with a load of bits, for around 100. but cant find a link as there sites are under construction.

I can't imagine a 10v drill have any guts at all.

How many people actually use these on a regular basis?

I have the driver, and impact driver. It is my only cordless set, so haven't got one of the big ones to compare it to.
However, it has done everything I need it to. I've fitted radiators recently, use some 50mm screws into wood with no pilot, and no problem at all.
I've boarded a loft with one of these.

I'm only a DIY user, so maybe the pros need more, but in this size driver, I don't think more power is required.

I had some guys round this week fitting a patio door, they were using an 18v Makita, it was very heavy in comparison.

Looks like one of the site links posted above no longer works.

How much do you want to be that they checked their statistics and saw that they were getting hits from here, so then thought that they would have some more of that and joined and spammed us, resulting in their site being banned
