As it's a bare unit you'll end up paying £280

It's ok I have the 5ah batteries and a duel charger already sorry should of said but thanks for the heads up. Do you think it will be able to mix wel I don't have any experience with using drills over big mixers

Maybe ok for adhesive but I have never used one.

You'll find 18v a bit on the weak side for mixing adhesive imo, 36v is a much better option, but obviously costs more.

If you work a lot on site then invest in Hilti, the technology and performance is incomparable. It's an expence to claim for and it'll make you money!

Surely 110 volt is the way to go for the jobs your asking .

If you rip up floors on a fairly regular basis, a scutch comb is a useful attachment for your sds.
