ash_s3 · Dec 28, 2013

Just ordered one of these off amazon, Makita BHP458RFE with 2x 3Ah batteries, charger and case for £179 inc vat and postage.

Seemed like a decent deal, if it's no good i'll send it back!

That is a good deal Ash, because of the 2 batteries at 3ah.
I would like to get my hands on the new 4ah batteries to try them.
screwfix are pushing Makita with the smaller (diy?) 1.3ah batteries.

DO NOT send it back

The batteries are £60+ each and charger £50

Sell the drill as a bare unit and buy a proper one as a bare unit from say fastfix

I did think it could be to do with the new 4Ah batteries out now but can't see any other retailers offering that sort of discount. RRP is a bit of a joke but your usually looking at £300+ for all that.
