    This offer sounds incredible. Which store did you see it in? Did you by any chance see what voltage the cordless drill was?

    I saw them in Abingdon. The cordless drill was 14.4V I think.

    Be warned, the quality of these is absolutely terrible.

    But at those prices, what have you got to lose!!

    precisely, normally the mega cheap ones at the diy places are about 10->15quid each, so the tesco prices are excellent. Its worth buying it just for the accessory pack at that price.
  • BFG is right. Don't expect these drill to last long as they have plastic gears, etc, but they are perfectly fine for the odd DIY project (i.e. not drill through 4" of hardend steel), but at £20 you can't complain

    The accessory pack is nothing to write home about though. It's just the standard drill bits, that you would get normally, plus lots of wall plugs.
  • My PD drill still works well after 2 years,so the Tesco price looks attractive- my drill cost £15 !1
