Scroll to the bottom of the page Makita 18vCombi Drill

Phoned up B&Q after trying to buy this on line. I was passed from pillar to post by customer service.............

It turns out the offer is false the price is £199, and they refused to honour the price offer............poor practice for a company of their size dont you think?

What makes me smile is that they e mail me regular with their their latest offers !!!!!!!!!!

    That offer often comes up throughout the year. I got mine instore for £79.99 back in April. If you can't get it online or even instore try Screwfix as they usually have the same deal.
  • I think you may have a 12v or 14v Neil, but not 18v, I may be wrong though.

    You are. The 18v Makita deal often comes up and that's the exact model I have. I think whoever you spoke to at B&Q maybe mixing this item up with a more expensive Lithium Ion battery model.
