I've got a cheap Wickes own-brand 3.6V cordless screwdriver. It did me for boarding out the loft, and for other odd jobs around the home. I can't think of any reason to pay £100 for a screwdriver for a bit of DIY.

As somebody else said, it depends on what you class as DIY. I used a 3.6 volt ni-cad Black and Decker screwdriver for years for general DIY.

I now have an 18v Makita impact driver that cost a bit more than a £100 and I don't regret buying it.

The Bosch ones aren't all that powerful. I have one myself and its not that powerful and battery doesn't last long either only good for small jobs. Better to use a drill driver unless space is difficult
