    very strange
    A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

    A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent,
    the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to buy spare batteries for the Challenge drills? I can't seem to find any at Argos or Ebay.

    What happens when you are in the middle of a diy job & the battery runs out?

    This looks great value but I really want a drill that has 2 batteries :(

    Is it not worth buying two drills? -- then you have a spare battery and a spare drill
    YOU CAN'T HAVE EVERYTHING........
    WHERE WOULD YOU KEEP IT!!!

    It may not be very good - this similar one made by Challenge has a rather poor review http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/product_test/46420/cordless_drills.html
    The cheapest drill on test came with 73 accessories in a multi-layer case. That's the good news - the bad news is everything else. The build quality of the case and the drill was poor - flashing around the handle of the tool had to be sanded down before use. Performance was disappointing, too. Despite the large-capacity battery, it struggled when screwdriving and still more when drilling.

    I don't expect much for £15, can always take it back if its crap. I can't justify the expense of £80, for the tiny amount of drilling I'll be doing.

    Rather than paying for 2 drills I would rather spend an extra £5 and get a drill with 2 years warranty & 2 batteries from Robert Dyas ;)
