B&D VPX range

Anyone seen these yet?

Was in B&Q and spotted these, They looked quite robust but I think still for the DIyer. They are the Li-Ion range and quite a nifty little design with the battery. The power screwdriver grabbed my attention, this one in particular has pretty much the same specs as the Bosch GSR 10.8V, and they set you back for about £40. I thought these were definitely better than the 'other' puny torqueless screwdrivers you can buy for the same money...

This looks like a reincarnation of the failed 'VersaPak' system, in which case words like 'avoid' and 'like the plague' come to mind

The battery capacity is not listed, nor is the charge time.

And there is no way that the screwdriver has the same specification, performance or ergonomics as the Bosch GSR
