Thanks for all the replies, very much appreciated. :-)

A drill/driver? If so try the B&Q PP Pro range.

unifix ain't cheap - just about every one of the tools I compared (like with like) with the dm site came out more expensive on unifix.

Just a thought, Homebase have a sale on at the moment - well they did on Sunday. Anyhow they have end of line Bosch tools going half price at the moment.

The Canterbury branch apparently had loads of them.

Their pro range is quite competitive and they do have a bargain basement range too. They are far better for fixings than Screwfix.

It was the pro stuff that I was comparing. They seemed competitive, but then you needed to add VAT onto their quoted prices.

Was 10 to 15% more expensive on a lot of the stuff when that was taken into account.

Just glancing at them in my local branch, it appeared to be all bottom of the range stuff - maybe even specially bought in. They had nothing I fancied, regardless of price.
