Anybody seen any good deals on drills at the moment? Not looking to spend more than £100 ideally. Just for household jobs but want something that will last. Would consider second hand off ebay as well to meet the price bracket.

cheers

I think this includes 2 very expensive batteries:

It's a Hitachi DV18DCL2 18V 1.5Ah Li-Ion Cordless Combi Drill.
Combi means that it's got a hammer function and torque settings for screwdriving as well as drilling.

There's a chance this 10% off code works, but I haven't tried it:

Don't bother with NiCad or NiMH.

Why not on the nickel batteries? They've been OK for me in the past

Genuine question...

Ryobi is ok stuff, but it's not in the same league as that Hitachi. The Dewalt is also good, but the quoted amp hours on the Hitachi is slightly better.
no-brainer imo.
