Check out FFX, Toolstop, Anglia Tool Centre, Axminster Tools. One of them will have something on a good deal. Had a Toolstop email flyer today, they have Makita deals on at the mo, but I’ve not checked to see how good the deals are?
Makita would be my weapon of choice, but we are all different. Go for 4 or 5 ah batteries.
Beware the deals in screwfix, as sometimes they are not as good as you think, often with the most basic drill and low ah batteries.

The deals at toolstation,screwfix and such likes are the old models ,,not the newer brushless versions and they are still more expensive than the big online companies
I have this model and it is a serious wrist breaker the torque of it is unbelievable but it is very heavy to use for any length of time im going to get a 12v drill or the new compact 18v makita to compliment it

Yes its a serious bit of kit ,,the long handle looks abit overkill but it needs it
This might be good for someone to keep in the tractor or pickup bit more complete than a normal socket and toptul is meant to be good quality
They also have lots of stuff on sale

Or this set really complete

Wish i had seen this before spending so long putting together a tractor kit as its so easy to loose things without the blow molded case

Yep, they are actually breaking the law as their website is required to carry details of their registered office under The Companies (Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2008, possibly also covered under other regulations, there is no mention of their VAT number either. I would also be wary of dealing with them on the basis of the publicised telephone number being a mobile. There are many other clues that cue me into it being probably a man in a van outfit, probably with limited stock and undefined delivery and lead times... I may well be wrong, but that's the feel I get.
there is a land line number no addres

Yes but you have to look for it, the one at the top of the page is a mobile.
Express workshop supplies ltd is listed as being dissolved... and the t’ and c’s look erm complicated, I agree might be you never get the goods...

I saw that too, but didn't mention it as other than being in the same general location there is nothing to directly tie the two together. Also, the Ltd company doesn't appear to have actively traded...
i see the same
Yes, but still silly to name a company after a dissolved one, also must be very small not to be ltd.
