I want a De Walt cordless drill.

A 12V is big enough.

What is the best (cheapest) online retailer for such things?

From Google, there are quite a few sites that import from US and you don't pay VAT (somehow). Are these legit?

Thanks

This is cheap , but what do you think about it?

De Walt is the nuts. Tis what all the trades use (I'm in the construction industry).

The cordless drills are very very light.

I'd like a big mahoosive Makita but I wouldnt buy their cordless drills.

p.s. I've got a big drill with hammer action etc.

Just want something light and nimble that I can adjust right down and use for screwing (guffaw) etc.
