Black & Decker 14.4v Lithium Ion Drill Driver - £40

Options
Hi all,

This seems like a bargain to me, its a Black & Decker drill/driver with a 14.4v lithium ion battery system (VPX), it also comes in it's own case (not a cheap plastic one) and drill bits.

It's from Tescos and costs £40 which is half price, you can order online and collect in-store to avoid the £5 delivery cost.
The closest equivalent product I can find is a Riobi drill driver for £80.

The VPX range was discontinued a while ago but really was great, you can still buy the batteries on the net and the code is VPX0111. Not that you should need them as the batteries don't really 'die', they also hold there charge for the best part of the year. The drill uses two of these batteries at the same time which are 7.2V each.

I have the product in my hand and being a bit of a tool/gadget geek I'll happily say it appears well made and is surprisingly powerful with it's two gears and variable trigger.

Hope you enjoy!
