I use this drill everyday on-site and have been for over 2 years.it's well worth the money.I also like the fact that not many people on-site will be interested in nicking the batteries from this when I have to leave them on charge in site canteens unlike the Bosch and makitas

who's saying this wouldn't last a life time?
I would say it's perfectly fine for the average diy'er which is what the majority of hukd users will be.

your argument is paying nearly an extra 50% for a superior product.......well it will be as your paying more.

Drill is something that should last you several years if not a lifetime. So worth paying a bit more. Fir another £30 you can get a Bosch professional combi drill , 3 yr warranty with 2 1.5 Li-Ion batteries from screwfix

Good deal with two batteries,if you don't need hammer setting Lidl have THIS for £29 next week.

brilliant drill. buy it.

fantastic drill .got one a few months ago. do a search and see who owns the name and other brand names in the same company and make up your own mind .

Got one a few months ago when argos were doing them, used it a few times and nice drill. 3 year warranty.

Stanley black and decker make dewalt.

Few month ago thet had hammer drill version same price with 2x 2ah batteries so beein honest it is not best deal

I have one of those Bosch drills and its utter garbage. Compared to various Makitas and Milwaukee drills we have its far far inferior. Shame really as I like Bosch tools

I have this Drill. Brilliant piece of kit. Battery lasts ages and stores charge for a long time.
Also seen professional builders using the same kit so that's a positive too!

I don't suppose anyone knows the exact weight of this fatmax drill with one battery attached?

I have been pondering getting the bosch. I think it comes in at less than 1.5kg with 1.5AH battery. Looking for something not too heavy.

got the last deal. hammer version with 2 x 2ah lion batteries. great drill. my father in law is in the trade and loves nabbing it off me when we work together on jobs and his gear is makita and milwauke. so this should be pretty good. the charger charges in an hour. this should in theory be the same

Just a side note. The stanley from argos has 2.0Ah batteries and charge from zero to full in 45mins, with the quick charger, for £30 extra.

Another owner of this drill chiming in here - it's an excellent tool, very nicely made and with great battery life.

This is a different model to the 1 homebase were selling for £69.99 on black Friday.

that model was this one

still a good deal, just a slightly inferior model

Bought this one a couple of weeks ago and have to say it's very strong and does the job spot on! The batteries last a long time too.

I bought two of these drills and find them far better to use than my 18v Dewalt drill

Fast charge at 90 mins for 1.3Ah !? That's seriously slow. i.e Makita 3Ah generally takes around 20 - 25 mins, and before anyone says how Makita are far more expensive etc, you can often pick up a hammer drill, 3Ah battery & charger for £100 or less.

Can you tighten the chuck with one hand?

Got one of these last Christmas - the quality and battery life are incredible. I thoroughly recommend it

Last time I picked one up was at Wickes a few months back, £99 including a drill/bit set iirc, but this is a typical example. Can't find any at the moment, around £105 on ebay looks to be the cheapest, but the offers seem to come around every few months.

But only 16v.

Would this Ryobi be better for £87 from Amazon?

More powerfull than my more expensive 10.8v Bosch.:smirk:

10.8v isn't much more than a power screwdriver really.

10.8v enough power to drill walls as the Bosch has hammer function. Read reviews here.

​you have to look at it that I got the hammer drill function one as don't have to dig out my sds for quick jobs. would of been happy with this. 2.0 and hammer was just a bonus. this is a solid deal. solid piece of kit reliable and great price. was just stating I had picked up the other version. so I'm not allowed to mention a similar product in a thread. when did that rule come in to play on this site. Oh wait never. lol

​possibly. wouldn't count on it though. no money would be made. big price difference in brand models. mostly they wouldn't clip together base to battery

just noticed. no magnetic

just noticed. no magnetic strip holders on the unit. boo. they such a funky little thing to hold a couple of screws or screwbits on.

and to continue before app played up.........
no magnetic strips on this. funky little additions. perfect for holding a couple of screws or screwbits. didn't know I needed it till it was there

think hukd app is playing up didn't show my comments correctly. sorry for the duplicatish comments

comments are all out of time order as well

uninstalled and reinstalled now works lol

Yes and Yes

Now £64.44 (Easter Sunday). There's also the paintusapicture.com survey printed on Homebase receipts or possibly by a survey card in store that gives a code for £5 off your next purchase over £50. Haven't tried to use the code yet though so not certain if it works, but maybe worth a try.
