Thanks, useful to know.  Anybody know a cheap source for quality drills,
other than Screwfix and eBay?

Here's another 2p worth...

The DeWalt cordless drills are indeed expensive. However, so are the rest
of
the good ones, the (professional) Bosch's, Panasonics, etc. Bosch have two
ranges, the green consumer stuff and the blue professional stuff. IMHO, the
green stuff is no beter than B&D these days. The blue stuff is very
good,
well worthy of consideration. Given the relative prices of the professional
stuff, I'd be inclined to go for the DeWalt.

Go to a specialist, not a DIY shed, and buy a drill you can be proud of.
Here's a thing about DeWalt stuff - I have one of their big routers, a
DW625EK. I've stopped looking at routers now - there's nothing more I
aspire
to. That doesn't happen very often.

Hi,
I've got a DeWalt 'powered' drill and it realy cuts the mustered - my only
problem now is finding drill BITS that can keep up - so yeah I rate the
DeWalt stuff. Admitedly i've not got a cordless but if I was going to get
one - it would be a DeWalt. This is over the standard Black And Decker
Stuff
(although iirc B&D and DW are the same company - just both ends of the
scale)

end of 2p worth
Wayne.
