FridgeFreezer Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 My local B&Q (Segensworth) have in their £1 bins: Flap wheels for grinders triple-packs of those sideways cutting drill bits Multi-packs of mounted stones for drills/dremels Assorted bags of dremel bits Mains plugs with switches on the back Screwdriver bit boxes And loads of other bargain tat They also have a 51-piece socket set for £5, which includes 3/8" ratchet and sockets plus 1/4" ratchet and sockets plus a 1/4" driver and set of bits plus extensions. Ideal for flinging in the back of the truck as an emergency kit that doesn't matter if it gets muddy / abused / lost / stolen. They have many other lovely things but I had to stop after buying all their flap wheels, only went in for a doormat but the nice ones are £25, sod that I'll have a muddy floor and a bucket of tools instead I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbeaumont Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 My local B&Q had a whole bargain basket of power tools - some of which were only discounted a bit, but there were some very good deals too. Mostly woodwork oriented, though. I'd have had one of the Bosch orbital sanders (complete with their own flight case, for added power toys points) if I wasn't skint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Humphries Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 My B&Q have DeWalt angle grinders for £31.99. Personally, after spending £96 on a Bosch one only to have it break from DIY use just after 12 month guarantee expired, I now only buy £9.99 ones from supermarkets are they still have 12 months guarantee !
