I got a Dust thinggy for drilling downlights it was about 15 quid n great for keeping drill ,eyes and more importantly clients office,house clean

Ill prob get a b&q special if I need to drill alot of plasterboard. But at the moment Im on a site so its not going to be much of a problem.

Try these ones , i have the same ones and they are invaluable as the shaft goes all the way through you can give them someabuse without any issues.

website is screw fix

Cheers for the link Nick. Is the head big enough at 9mm? i was thinking more along the lines of 12mm but im not sure lol.

The head size is fine for what you need it for , i use mine to remove stubborn gland nuts and it works fine, the pozi one is ideal for freeing off rusted seized screws, one good bang from the hammer and shes free.

I've got one of these, along with the bigger brother version (451). I'm happy with mine, switches/gears get stuck but they are intentionally designed like that - just a quirk with these drills. Might be underpowered though for masonry work. the 451 is much better for that, bit more grunt but I am looking for a new masonry specific drill to deal with hard brickwork and concrete.

For tightening locknuts have a search on ebay for locknut spanner, bit pricey at £60 a set, but well worth it. I absolutly love mine, couldn't be with out it now.
