Aldi stuff is usually pretty good - HEAT!

I call BS. Bought a few things from their own range and both have been returned within a week! I don't know why anyone would buy a power tool from Aldi. Seems like a paradox to me.

I got one last time they were at Aldi, its good for £20, better than anything you could buy from B&Q at this price!

Worth checking what sort of torque it does, might say on the box.

Battery is 25% better than the Draper posted on here last month (which is now £23.99). It's also twin speed and comes with a few bits. Also benefits from a long 3 year Aldi warranty. Not aware of anything better for the money at the moment.

how fast is the fast charge? I've been looking at getting a replacement drill and some products that said fast charge were actually 3 hours! If its an hour then i would say its fast charge.
also, no mention of what it weighs either?

Does anybody know whether these have NiCd or NiMH.batteries? If they are lithium-ion i assume they would have it in the specs.
I purchased the 18v lithium ion from maplin @ £31.99 plus free delivery. it is a great drill and far better than my last 18v challenge extreme ion drill. I was making a oak aquarium hood for my fish tank and after I had drilled well over 30 holes and used it to drive in all the screws battery still showed full and keep in my I was drilling into oak wood, also comes with several drill bits and screwdriver attachments to get you started.... the trouble I find with in cad is the battery detiorates from either to many charges if using reguarly or from not enough charges with only occasional use.... lithium ion is the way to go for either use as it holds its charge much more efficiently.......

Considering that they are not Lithium-ion this deal is better. May not have the hammer option though.
