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

[GRIFF55]

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

[chris68nufc]

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!

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

I've managed for 15+ years!

[RudeTony]

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!

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

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/Product/partNumber/7110371/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CGarden+and+DIY%7C14418702/c_2/3%7C14418702%7CPower+tools%7C14418763/c_3/4%7Ccat_14418763%7CCordless+drills+and+screwdriver s%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.

What made you realise you need one Danny?

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

[MattADH]

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

[Danny McGee]

Sorted. Hitachi in the post :)

A quick note. I now have mine and want to give the thumbs up to hitachi-direct on ebay. Hope thats not breaking any rules? They were the cheapest at 59.95 for delivered db3dl with two li-ion batteries.

[PaulRotheram]

Do you need to buy new hex adaptors too to use these things? For eg.. 1.5mm, 2.0mm etc etc..

[mikeyscott]
