I use a mc-kellar drill, never heard of them? Well they were the focus diy own brand arm. Mine was bought s/h from cash converters 4 years ago for a £10 (it looked hammered then) and in all that time its still going strong having been used a few times every week, the battery lasts fine as long as you dont leave it attatched the drill when your not using it however the superdupa lithium ion bosch thing which cost nearly 10 times the price (it didnt as it was a prize but if i bought one it would have cost it) is naff in the extreme, it never holds charge and even when fully charged it last minutes, and no its not dodgy as this is the first of two, i swapped the first one because i thought it was broken, on the expierience of this obviously not! The moral of my story is fancier doesnt always make better! Anyone want to buy a bosch drill?

Thanks for the info guys, my Bosch is so old I can't find a replacement on the sites mentioned.

But as I don't use it that much i'll  have a look at the Erbauer from Screwfix as it could fit the bill.

When the battery in mine went ti pear shaped I rang Bosch service dept and it was they who told me they were no longer made and I had to get a new drill :worried:

And when they did make them they charged almost as much as for a new drill!
