Where's the best place to get them? What should I expect to pay for it?

B+Q had an offer on the smaller one locally mate. have you tried shopping sites like kelkoo etc?

I buy all of my stuff from www.itslondon.co.uk they have got all sorts but may struggle as that's quite small. Hth!

One on the bay for £59 + p+p, but comes with a 3rd Li-ion battery:

or powertools2y are £76, but unsure on postage:

lazy git

Not at all danny! They are really handy when your in a rush! :thumbsup:

Be organised and do it right first time and you wont need to rush. :)

I've managed for 15+ years!

I agree with Danny BUT if your going to get one, get one like mine - the Hitachi DB10DL - he he he :lol:

I'm going to look into these soon too, try screwing an RC8 gearbox together!

They are an absolute 1/8 essential. The battery dying or realising I haven't packed my hitatchi at the start of a days 1/8 scale racing is a devastating thing!

Im sure we were waiting for a certain someone on sunday ;):p

" be organised and do it right first time" hmmm... :woot:

you aint got as many cars to build as cockers though dan! have you not seen his uni shelf?????

Isn't that full of sleazy porn and dodgy drinks?:lol: hence the driver to strenghten the shelf!

o.k. so i now realise that i need one of these things. I hear people were getting them for less than £50. Where? Ive found them in ebay but there for £60+ when it comes to postage etc.

Cheers

Danny

What made you realise you need one Danny?

I can recommend the bosch Li-ion one i have one with the schumacer/EDS power tips and its great for anything 1/8th related !
This is the one i have http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...7C14418778.htm
If you lookout in Argos/B&Q/Homebase you can usually find these on offer.
The Makita one is awesome but at £150 it's a bit steep.

Many reasons. The first of which is im getting old, and as such need help.

I got mine off ebay for £35 or thereabouts, but was really lucky.
Will try and find the sellers details and post back...

cannot work out if its just a hex drive thingy or a propper mini chuck, has torque settings, forward & reverse. screwfix also carry it, may be worth a look.

colour to match your wheels :D

Sorted. Hitachi in the post :)
