You know that feeling when a job that used to be a struggle suddenly gets a whole lot easier...
I knew for ages I *should* get one - but now I'm having to do a lot of holes with big auger bits (32-56mm) through stud, I finally caved in:
Stonking torque on the dewalt though, also delightfully compact, though I'd have liked a keyless chuck.
...at thirty quid.
For the cordless with right angle drive and two batteries? Somewhat of a bargain - I paid over 100 quid. Excellent drill though - and the batteries are still fine.
They reduced both the high torque mains drill and the cordless with angle drive to =A330.
I bought one of each.
I'd already got the cordless without angle when they reduced it to =A380 a few years before. Shortly after that, they reduced it to =A350 and I bought one for a friend. Shortly after that they reduced it to =A330.
So this time, I'd learned my lesson.
You were right about the angle drive. It's great. Used it loads - don't know how I got by without it. And the batteries on the newer model are either improved or my old ones are getting a bit tired.
Trouble is they were clearing out. You can't always wait for that.
Indeed - great for drilling holes in joists for cables, etc.
Of course no battery lasts for ever. But those (and likely the charger) seem as good as any.
