Ws looking around for a drill for use here in the lab.
and a bit confused by these options.
Although B&Q for once seem to be cheapest.
cheaper still for 1 batt
Impact driver tends to be a phrase scattered around. In this case, it means a hammer drill, as opposed to an impact driver designed to remove stubborn nuts, etc.
Do you need a hammer drill in your lab? Their normal used is drilling into masonry.
Is that Rapid price right? There, the single battery one is more than the twin battery? Assuming the batteries are the same. Notice they don't give the battery capacity - only voltage.
They both say 1.5AHr.
I remove stubbon nuts from the lab at 5pm by shouting at them and insiting they go home like I want to do ;-)
Well a month ago we asked for 4 coat hooks to be put on the wall so we could hang such things up. I'm a bit bored of waiting and I'd like this done before I retire in a handful of years or so. Also I don't know in advance exactly what I might need to drill in the future, but in the past having been asked to drill through a wall and to borrow the Kango drill from maintaince department... might as well get one that can do a little bit of masonry drilling, it's not like I'm planning on drilling into a bank vault. e also have a number of racks to put up[ on the wall to hang a few hundred cables mostly 1 metre BNC to 4mm. Again we asked last year for this to be included in the new lab build but as yet nothing been done and I suspect it's too late this year and as we've paid they are unlikely to come back and do it. As with a lot of these things it ends up DIY. Last month there was no soap in the toilets or toilet roll holders or even toilet rolls, but they did install two of those fancy dyson hand/washer dryers.
If you scroll down you'll notice we are mentioned.

They do give 1.5Ah under technical details and yes the price is right having emailed them asking if they can match B&Qs price they said, no so we'll go to B&Q.
amazon have a similar odd pricing, but another amazon supplied will supply just the drill for £70, but we do need 1 battery at least with charger.
Lidl have been selling an interesting range of drills, matching batteries and chargers recently. I noticed one was rated 4Ah.
according to their web site they aren't in until 29th May.
aldi have been selling 20V/40V tools that share the same battery.
It was on my chair when I got in this morning, so I'm sorted now, time to do some drilling. :-)
Bosch have an interesting marketing trick, see if you can spot it.
Don't think I have spotted it.
I now have that drill, it seems fine, nothing amazing to comment on, quite a bit of space left in the carry case which I might find useful.
No it doesn't. The picture says 1.5 Ah. You're looking at the "Power
4All" branding on the yellow.
Max has now already pointed it out it does say 4ALL on the actual drill we bought, even so these images are usually 'representative' of range or similar bit if it did say 4Ah then that could be called misleading.
