Not sure what the specifications of the above drill are but I can recommend the following from Screwfix:

offer at £35 with two batteries and one hour charge time. The 24V power means that it walks over the pathetic cordless drill I had from B&Q before :-)

Cheers, Rob.

Yeah. Mine arrive yesterday. I haven't used it in anger yet, but it seems OK for the money. Cheap plastics and all that, but it seems OK. Most importantly, it has electric braking and seems to be able to go really slow with lots of torque, so should be ideal for screwdriving, if a little heavy.
