    You can buy it here for £118 so its not that great a saving. Still looks a good buy though.

    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    My local Screwfix has just opened, so were doing 10% off last weekend - if they are still doing that, I can get it for £64.80 :)

    Er No, it was £79.99 as Screwfix, the lower price was because B&Q give an extra 10% off when pricematching.

    I think he means B&Q might match the Screwfix 10% off price though.

    So Screwfix 10% off takes it to £71.99, then B&Q match that (hopefully, lol) and they give 10% off again which takes it to £64.79.

    Apologies, but when Screwfix opened near me, their 10% opening reduction was by press leaflet/ invitation voucher, so the price advertised would still be £79.99.

    And as I said the drills were already marked down last week in B&Q to £79.99 so the price being the same would negate the extra 10%.

    Seems like some B&Q store managers were asleep. ;)

    Although this offer was supposed to end Monday10th, it is being kept going till they sell out.

    Was on offer still at my local Screwfix today 13th, but none in B&Q, sigh, as I was going to try the 10% off for oldies as well.
