Makita 18v B & Q Deal £79.99

[Ultimate Tiling]

Just one the way to B&Spew to grab this Makita drill.

18v Drill
2 x Batterys
101 Piece Drill set ( In case)

I know these have been on offer before but thats cheap and i like the case as it holds a few drill bits ect.

Was going to get the £80 deal from screw fix with the extra battery instead of the 101 piece kit but needs a set of good drill tools anyway!

Offer is only on for 4 days (ends tuesday) but i did read on a forum that if the still had stock let a further £10 will be discounted.

I also got a B&Q trade card through the post so that might get abit more off, let you know!

A good buy there,
hard to beat the LI-ION range though,last longer etc.
Makita all the way,i even have their site radio(it runs off my LI-ION battery!!!) very handy

Think I would go the extra battery though, the drill bit sets ( cheapo's ) are cheap and nasty, weigh that against the cost of a battery

i just bought the 18v lithium-ion drill and impact driver, cant fault the 22 minute charger lots of money but what an exellent piece of kit

 

[DHTiling]

Seen that kit in B&Q this mornin...looks anice kit...i have looked at the SF one as well..

But i don't think i need anymore drills..:smilewinkgrin:

I've got the 18v Makita, can't fault it.

The extra battery, would have rather had it cheaper TBH, although it did turn out handy the other day.

How long have you had your site radio?

I bought mine origionally from screwfix approx 13months ago....im now on my 3rd

Fantastic sound and bass but rubbish reliability

I personally think that makita have gone towards the DIY market with some of there products

Makita have started a nasty habit of rebranding cheap accessory packs, I've bought a few on the strength of the Makita name and have been very disappointed! extra battery option for me

cant believe only 3 months ago i just purchased a black and decker 18 v cordless for £70 the makita drill at the time was £100 i wish id have hung on a bit longer having said that considering my cordless is a black and decker not a bad little drill good battery life and i dont use it much really:yikes:

I've just bought the 18v Hitachi Combi + 18v Drill Driver + Torch + 2 batteries from screwfix £137. High quality drills, very impresssed.

 

[locky]

had 1 of these cheap makitas before didnt last long

bought the 18v li ion one was £300 but was worth every penny just for the belt clip and lights it has

 

[Frosty]

If you do decide to buy, make sure it's got the MiMh batteries not the NiCd ones.
I got caught out by a B&Q "special" before and was always waiting for them to charge up

Lithium Ion for me everytime now:hurray:

The first drill I bought was a De-Walt (14 years back when the gearing was metal) which I still use today! I might get this Makita as a back up, a mate got one a while back which I was quite impressed with for the money. My drill that I use at the moment is a bit heavy to have in your hand all the time... But it does have 3.5ah beat that!!

OMG!!!! I paid £360 for this drill a few years back, you can pick it up for less than £250 now GUTTED! why did I have to look?

I recently got the Dewalt 36v set from Jewsons. Included SDS drill, reciprocating saw, circular saw and torch - £500 plus vat - one only stocktaking clearance.

I note the page that you linked to for that pipe freeze kit was selling them for £1250!

With savings like that, now I know why you can afford to use yorkshire fittings :lol:

I need a new cordless but the 'drill' set on the B&Q Makita put me off. Now I know that Screwfix do the same but extra battery, guess where I'm going this week

I had a look at Makita, DeWalt and Hitachi as I was after an Impact driver and in the end, after advice from a mate who is a spark and has one, I went for the AEG. So far brilliant and the LED just below the bit has come in very useful. Maybe tell you in a while if it lasts!
