love it got about 20 odd bits of kit from the spit concrete nails guns to the big dd120 on order to replace our dd100 that got stolen,

the big 36v hammer drill was the only let down.

there based in trafford park, i park in their car park when i used to go old trafford. they'll do demo's if they have a rep near you.

Really bad round here - (Sth Bucks) - you daren't even leave the van unlocked for a minute.... general feeling it's the pikeys - you see them cruising round in the white pick-up casing the smaller building jobs.
We had a long thread on here a while back with all the recent stories from myself, LLL, GB, Mikey etc.

I don't know how big impact driver you want. You may want to consider the Bosch Blue 10.8V one. I've got the non impact screwdriver version and it is a quality bit of kit, I would have said that even if I had paid full price for it at circa £100, however the brother in law works for Bosch (not the tool making business unit) and therefore can get them at half price!!

was always going to buy the hilti but am temped by the panisonic impact driver, cheaper and a great bit of kit but with the hilti all my cpc batterys can use one charger. at the monent got a te 15, te 6a, jig saw, nut runner (siw 114a) & the dx 460f8 nail gun and they have never let me down. have a panisonic drill at the moment and its starting to sound rough after 7yrs of hard work but still going strong, my heart says buy hilti but the brains voting for panisonic. ???
