Cordless Drivers

Dec 06, 2009 11 Replies

Hi



Forgive me if this has been asked before.



Are there any reasonable cordless screwdrivers suitable for limited home use that are recommended in the £25 to £35 range ?



I've tried a cheap Draper which turned out to be very poor. Are Wickes or Black and Decker ok?



Regards



Jim


Drill drivers, or just screwdrivers? Screwfix have a 'Site' (rebadged Makita) 14.4v drill driver for £40. It is excellent VFM. Alan.

I was going to point out to you that Lidl have an 18V at the mo' and that Wickes are doing a two-for-one on their green range, but the Site one that Alan recommended is a very good deal.

If you're signed up for Screwfix e-mails they seem to be sending out

10% off =A350 offers pretty regularly.

Incredible deal - inc 2 batteries & a fast charger. Will last for ever with home use, plenty of welly as well.

It's not in your stated range, but I have one of these:

and it's been excellent. Fairly good run times on one charge (can be days for medium DIY use, 1/2 day for intensive work), fast recharge and surprisingly powerful for its size. The torque limiter is an absolute dream for repeatative work.

Aldo ocassionally do an 18V one, 16 torque settings, two speed, no hammer, 1 spare battery and charger for £20.

I thought for £20, if it lasted me 12 months I'll have had my moneys worth out of it, but I've had mine for about 4 years, fairly light use around the home but it's been to work with me a few times and it can rag in 100mm screws all day long, batteries last well too.

The most recent catalogue I have is one I got in Sept so I'm guessing there is a later one that hasn't been sent to me as this drill/driver is in it at £64.99 but I see it on the website at the £40 price. I also note the batteries are priced in the catalogue at £44.98 and on the website at £24.47 ...if you wanted another battery you'd be as well buying another drill for the extra £15.53

Someone on Ebay has one of these drill for sale on BIN at £19+ £6 postage but with no battery and says to message him for a price with battery .he replied saying £55 + £9 postage . I replied " I guess Screwfix at £40 wins then"

Anyone have an actual link for this as the cheapest price I can find it online is £79 not unless the price has went back up.

Thanks.

83288 on the

website .I bought one at £40 earlier this evening

Thanks for that.

Steven.

They were £40 when I bought one from Screwfix yesterday. Code 83288.
