    Yes.

    Last one I bought from Argos works... as long as you charge the battery before you want to use it...

    But then it was all of £7...

      Right then kids - i'm off

      I'll probably pop in again when I'm on the train with the weirdos

      But you'll all have gone by then no doubt.

      Have fun

        Batteries in cordless tools pack up if left unused for long periods of time, so buy a cheap one.
        Interestingly enough, both the ancient Black & Decker screwdrivers I have access to have lasted a very long time... as in 15 years or so in one case... the old 3.6V one they used to make.

          Did it say bollocks or cupboard on the box?

              Yeh! having to actually do what you are being paid for, can really muck up your day

                    Just been speaking to my mam - I was telling her about somthing me and my sis have planned for later in the year and I said - "What should we do?"

                    Her answer - "Take off your sock and piss in your shoe"

                    WTF??? How in the name of God is that helpful...... the woman is a looney. No wonder we ended up this way

                      And found an interesting little bug...

                      Code:
                       
                          while(1);
                          {
                           stuff
                           }
                      Oddly enough, stuff never ran... and I only spotted it when looking at the assembler it produced...
