CPC Makita deal.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Looks pretty good with free postage. But Ni-Cads? Hope they haven't been lying in a store for years.

I picked up one of these about a year ago, close to a ton with VAT I think. It's been fine and the tools are pretty good quality as well.

without tool kit they are abt £99 regularly in B&Q et al.

The tool kit alone sells for 20quid - which is pretty good value anyway.

With two batteries?

[Tony Bryer]

Looks pretty decent for the price. A year or so back I bought a cheaper

18v Makita drill for a small job thinking I could extend my kit later. It turns out (here) that most Makita 18v tools will only work with the 1.5 or 3.0AH batteries, not the ones that came in my kit (1.1 LIon without checking). I've ended up starting again with new batteries and charger as to have the cordless circular saw - planer and multi-tool to follow. $100 extra on a better drill in the first place would have saved me twice this and more down the line.
