Thanks as usual for the input guys.... however i have ignored you all and gone for something else! No offence.
I would have bought the Wiha speedE as even with that price tag it looks as though within a month or 2 it could have paid for itself. However, amazon has 3 reviews on it and 2 of them are very poor. I believe one of the reviews is by @NDG Elecs . I'd be interested to hear if you ever got your Wiha back NDG, and if so are you happy with it now, any more problems, do you use it lots?
I have gone for cheap and cheerful this time TACKLIFE Electric Screwdriver, 3.6V Screwdriver Drill Set 2000mAh Li-on 3 Flexible Positions and 6 Torque Setting with 31pcs Bonus Bits, Front and Rear Lam in a Storage Box -SDH13DC: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cordless-Screwdriver-Tacklife-Lithium-Ion-Positions/dp/B01N0ZGIG0

Thanks for that NDG, good analogy with the cars!I have it back now yes. Took around 6-8wks to do so though. I use it not daily but a few times a week.. Useful in tight spots. I rarely change the bit on it as by the time you have done I would have finished the job with another driver.
I wouldn't say it was any faster than if you were for instance putting a 3.5mm screw in with both hands (twisting handle with one hand and drivers shaft with the other) - you know the technique!! It is useful as I say in tight spots when it is hard to get your hand(s) in the right place..
TBH it is a bit of a lambo of a tool when a nice BMW would do instead!
I use it more when second fixing rewires.
Going to see what ELEX has to offer this Month may treat myself, shhhh do' t tell HIDsI use a Worx electric screw driver when I get bored with extra long faceplate screws. £30
Looks NICE was it ? or whatI'm sure there was a thread on here recently which heartily endorsed the use of an impact driver for those delicate screws...NOT!
I really like this, though...
Take a trip to the big O shed or LidlSorry, Pete999, I don't have one! i just like the concept of variable speed and gyroscopic control. Indeed, I couldn't find any for sale from the usual outlets last time i looked.
He aint worked ot howto use a screwdriver yet Tel give the Lad a chance, rush rush all the time chill out Liverpool weren't built in a day, might look like it though sorry mategyroscopic?????, pirate you've not yet sussed out how to use your ship's compass. .
it's easy enough. the pointy end goes in the screwHe aint workek out howto use a screwdriver yet Tel give the Lad a chance, rush rush all the time chill out Liverpool weren't built in a day, might look like it though sorry mate
Only if it's a Phillipsit's easy enough. the pointy end goes in the screw
i find the aldi tools are better than lidl's. my workzone sds 18v or 20v, can't rem.) will do most drilling for rawlplugs and at £50 it's not a suicide job if i drop it off a ladder.
Thanks for that NDG, good analogy with the cars!
What I'll probably do is use the cheapy tacklife one i've bought and then over the next few weeks convince myself that I need the Wiha as well
I wonder why we love tools so much. I'm not fussed about clothes, cars, TV's, anything material really, but I do like buying tools. Perhaps books, I do like books as well.
