Did see the extra 10% off at SF, my finger was hovering over the Makita twin pack for a while but then noticed the equivalent Dewalts were brushless and a bit more torque'y, wasnt previously aware of the extra cost of Makita when compared to Dewalt, I've used Dewalt's plenty at work in my old job and never gave me any issues, never had to pay for them myself mind, I just picked it up and drilled holes with it!
Got the Dewalt 5ah twin pack bought at Christmas for £200+. It’s excellent, use it for all sorts of stuff.
Grinder just expired after 11 years of horrendous abuse, so bought a corded one for £25. Apart from occasional cutting it is mostly used for stripping paint off metal parts. Quicker and easier than blasting in a lot of cases.
Whenever I’ve found stuff cheaper it more often than not has been at either FFX.com or http://www.buyaparcel.com
This. I rarely buy actual power tools from Screwfix. Always can be found cheaper at the likes of the above.
Enthusiastic DIY-er here, I was powertool-less when I became a homeowner, carpenter friend mentioned the Stanley Fatmax Drill and impact driver set was £100, have had it 2 years now, it that time its been used when doing two kitchens, building a shed and multiple other DIY jobs at home, cant fault it for the price, but then I havent owned anything pricier...
Thanks Oikeith, the specs on that twin set look very good for the money! I'll take a proper look at them later
