Finished college in May last year. Started subbing self-employed in July last year. Just finished the NVQ3 a couple of months ago. Taking the regs (for the first time) in just under a month's time, will be done on 9th December. Once I've got the certificate for that, I'll get my JIB card. Did...

Nope. I've been getting £100-per-day recently.

Thanks Andy, I'll check them out.

The Bosch one's sold out now anyway. Back to square one :yawn

Thanks chaps. Still doing my NVQ3 so not earning full money yet, which is why I have an upper limit on price. But I will heed your advice next time I buy tools :)

Thanks for all your advice guys. I looked on the isswww site, but they only do the 251 (the one I think I want) in a set. I don't really need the impact driver and I definitely can't justify spending

Hmm, it's 1-1 between Bosch and Makita now! Thanks Matty. ---------- Post Auto-Merged at 14:32 ---------- Previous post was made at 14:26 ---------- Did you mean this one? - Makita LXT232 18V Li-Ion Combi Drill & Drill Driver Twin Pack | Screwfix.com It's a different drill I think. A...
