Black & Decker twin hammer drill drill/driver pack £69.99

Found this in Argos, not in the Autumn Winter catalogue. Reduced from £139.99 to £69.99. Ideal for the DIY enthusiast, looks pretty good. I know the purists will say never buy a cordless hammer drill, but for the money I think it's very good. Only 14.4v, but you get a battery with each drill. One charger included, and unfortunately the 3 hour charger, but both drills fit into supplied case.

    Are you certain that you get TWO drills?

    It looks like ONE drill to me as I didn't read TWO drills anywhere!!

    The price sounds about right if you go around the DIY shops. I bought a hammer drill last year from homebase or somewhere. The brand name drills are always slightly more expensive. I bought a 21v non brand name one for the same price as a 18.8v black & decker. Im sure it was only about 45quid.

    Cordless hammer drills are perfectly fine for small jobs. Mines had a lot of use. For any serious work i use a corded hammer drill or my pneumatic drill.

    Defo 2 drills in their own carry case, a small pack of heads for the screwdriver attachment and a box with loads more heads for the screwdriver, and lots of drill bits too.
    Actually bought one - it's very good. Wouldn't have paid £139.99 though for £69.99 it's worth the money (IMHO).
