Looks the same machine but a ton or so cheaper.
Can't help you as i have the originals

saw the ddm2 sparky for £203 and the 3 for £300, and my 1100w sparky is now £209 in screwfix so the ddm2 lookalike is a no brainer, but I just wonder how much better the higher speed of the 3 is. is it worth another 100 notes then tamz?

I've got a 2 and a 3. I'm using the 3 atm (have been for ages) as my 2 is slipping in the clutch and needs a service. I need to hand it in to my mate.
Not a lot of difference between the two. The 3 spins faster and maybe takes 1/2 a minute less to drill a hole in a std cavityt wall. I paid around 450 for the 3 and around 300 for the 2.
If you are doing this every other day or just value your timr they are worth the money.
Personally i've got every tool i need amd i aways add if id see.Its all tax deducabl
