I have the 14.4V version and it's a little workhorse.

any idea what the max torque may be? been looking at the listing and the interweb but dont see it listed.

This should be good as a Bosh 18v, who knows

Can this be used as a screw driver

Excellent drills - I bought one of their earlier ones maybe 8 years ago & it lasted until the battery died & I used it on two full house total renovation projects each taking months & many different carpentry jobs. If they still have a ROHM chuck, then even better... heat added

For a lady you are well into your Diy :smile:

Bought one earlier this evening.
I've had a Parkside 18v ni-cd for many years and has been great, but the batteries wont hold their charge now.
This one has a 2 speed gear box - 1 for screwing (400rpm). 1 for drilling (1400rpm). Variable speed trigger. No hammer action though.
No mention of torque in the manual. Max Drill diameter: metal 13mm, wood 30mm

That's what I thought, but they had everything out that starts tomorrow - I also got a Japanese saw, some rechargeable batteries, some work gloves and a fur-lined fleece jacket - sorted.
