Black and Decker hammer drill - free laser - £20 at ASDA

HankMcSpank

Asda's stock control systems must be pants...when I ring up the local Asda's they actually have to go & physically see if there are any Black & Decker drills (of any model) on the shop floor.

Confirmed in asda queensferry! priced at 40-ish scans at 20!

They have about 15 left on a stand near the tvs, a bit away from teh DIY isle.

Thanks be to OP!

Usage update; My other half has been using this to drill some metal...using correct bits etc. He's come in disgusted and says the chuck will not hold the bits securely for any heavy work...and that's one of the reasons you buy a corded drill...going back I would imagine...just fishing out the receipt now...explains the price!!

the only problem i've discovered so far is the whole back end of it lights up with the sparks coming out of the motor!!! a bit alarming but I think it's OK?

@ Tin - !!!!!!, sparks coming out of the motor?!?!?! That sounds really dodgy to me!!! Anyone else had this problem? I was going to get one of these but with the reports of sparks coming out of the motor (you sure its not the laser lighting the drill up) and the chuck not holding the bits, i'm starting to think twice.

I could understand if it was one of their cheap models but this is supposed to be one of their "heavy duty" models (albeit at a cheap price!!)
