Useful drill which has the advantage of coming with two batteries. The drill bits that it comes with are not of particuarly good quality, so buy some more substantial ones and save yourself the hassle of rounding off the points. Overall the total package is good value for money.

As previously stated, it doesn't seem to have enough power to act as a screwdriver. Ok for drilling small holes and undoing quite loose screws, but not nearly strong enough to get them out itself.

This Hammer drill generally lacks the power to drill into brick and concrete walls. I can get maybe two or three 5mm diameter drill holes in to a brick walls before a freshly charged battery looses power to drill. The bit grip is also poor, leading to the bit frequently stoping rotating and getting stuck in the drilled material. I thought it was a good price, its not, its not up to the minimum amount of DIY I do around the house.

"POWER" Drill... I think not!
This drill is Very disappointing. It has hardly any strength to do more than drilling small holes into chipboard, so I guess if that's all you need it for then it's fine. Read more
