If it's just for DIY, why not try one of those multi tool sets........they usually have 2 or 3 batteries with them too!!

Thanks Gadget,

I don't suppose you could recommend a particular set could you?

Thank you

Hi Leah,

Id get a Bosch if possible, some of the really cheap makes are cheap for a reason. Bosch domestic (the green ones) should be ok for the home DIY user.

You can often get these on screwfix or amazon for a decent price.

Good luck.
