Money off power tools and accessories at B&Q

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

DIY giant B&Q is currently offering up to 50 per cent off on some power tools and accessories - these range from essentials like sanding discs, cutting discs and blades to useful stuff like storage pouches, grinding stones and polishing kits. You can also pick up some great savings on DeWalt rechargeable batteries, so well worth browsing if you’re in the market for those.

These offers in particular caught our eye:
