I shouldn't tell you this, but do a google search for powertools.co.uk or similar - they are selling Senco cheaper than I can buy them from Senco GB!

Just one note - I get people telling me the battery chargers or the batteries go kaput now and again. I've replaced a couple under warranty.

If you're doing full time boarding the DS275 is v. good - 4000rpm and takes up to 75mm screws.

Lastly - buy good screws. Cheapies may not feed too well, but ask around.

They should be £389 + vat with the collated attachment, as an introductory price. Ring Hilti direct on 0800 886 100 or register with Hilti online and see the prices there.
