Don't be put off by the flashy styling, or the 'made in China'. I have used one of these drills for heavy trade use every day for over two years and everything, even the batteries, is as good as new. It is light but very powerful and the 3.0AH batteries give excellent run time. I use it for driving timber fixings up to 12" long, drilling any size hole, even a 117mm diamond hole saw in soft brick. I occasionally use it for mixing plaster. It has outperformed and outlasted my Makita and Bosch 18v drills. It needed a gearbox repair last year, individual parts are available and only cost £27 fitted. Highly recommended.
