Cheap 12V cordless driver.

[chaoticbob]

After the death of a freebie from Axminster (which proved surprisingly useful) I'm looking for a cheap,compact 12V cordless screwdriver - the type with the battery in the handle - to replace it. For occasional use only. There's a bewildering array of these things on Amazon, ranging from £20 to £50 and up. Some (even at the lower end of the price range) claim to be combi drills (ie hammer action) which I don't need. Enough torque to drive a 2" number 8 into softwood would be fine.

Any recommendations in the £20-50 range?

Bob.

I can recommend this one...

Metal gearbox, good power and ergonomics.
Better than the Macalister one I have.
(Probably the same battery)

Thanks James, looked at Toolstation, not in stock for delivery but 1 in stock from my local branch in ... Morecambe. Last time I looked at their site I was in Leeds apparently. But Wickes have them locally (Derbyshire) and for delivery, so have ordered.
