Save your money get some decent gear. I gave up on Crap & Decker after my 18v charger overheated and failed. I opened it up and sent them pics of the burned board but they said they couldn't say why it had failed, and also couldn't guarantee that a new one would last any longer (2 years). I paid £50 new for the drill, and a new charger on Ebay would have cost £30 odd. I then happened to go to a B&Q and saw the Makita deal for a 14v drill, a 14v impact drill, 2 batteries and a charger in a case for £98.99 I bought one (on a Weds) so got it for £89. It's a far superior piece of kit than B&D, feels smooth and well made. To be honest 14v is great for everything apart from serious masonry drilling, but then I use a corded drill for that. The really good part is having a drill and a drill/driver side by side when working, it saves all that swopping of bits, handy to have 2 batteries as well. A bargain I think and the deal is still on. If you really want 18v then they are now offering a Makita 18v drill/driver for the same price. Food for thought with Christmas coming!
