Have you got a link for a better one for this price? I bought it last time round at this price, and for diy it's a great buy. Also used Argos delivery. Ordered it late at night and was delivered 08.30 next morning. A great service.

No you are not going to use it on a day to day basis.
But this is hot for the price for a diy drill.

I bought the 14.4 bosch drill for 39.99 from amazon. Was that better buy?

Have this drill from 2 years ago. It's a great drill with good battery life and with two batteries, the charge time is just not important for most.

Got one when last at this price. For the money it's a great deal. 2 lithium batteries make it a great price. Not suitable for a trader but for diy it copes well.

I've found it to be a great drill, with excellent battery life

Heat from me, sure its not a patch on my Makita kit, bit £60 would just about get you a battery. Great for the casual DIYer.

only £80 normal price on homebase, so deal not that good, still cheaper but not amazing

10 more the fat max at home base, better torque and quicker charge , or if you ain't going to use it much the one at lidl for 40

The one at home base is only a drill driver. This one is a hammer drill

It has more torque tho, can't remember last time I used hammer on a drill as it seems to drill in concrete easily, not sure if that's down to the torque but probably is
I'm just an occasional DIYer but found this Worx drill perfect for what I needed. Obviously the Wickes drill is 18v and the Worx is 20v. Will that be noticeable does anyone know?

Don't be fooled by the voltage the wicked drill has over 15% more torque. Both would suit your needs.

Average 4 out of 5 stars is 'terrible' like to see what adjective you use for 1 star reviews.

I have this drill and it's fantastic. I paid more so this is a great drill for the money. The drill is pretty light too.

No, cheap lightweight plastic. Prone to faults. Have you got another one we could look at?

they were at £39 @ Homebase and £49 with the 1h charger

Still are. Bought one last week with bigger chuck and torque in Crawley. Worth checking your local store if popping into Homebase.

Bought one of these a couple of weeks ago, brilliant drill. You really don't need anything better for DIY jobs for the home.

We bought one, absolute junk, returned it (no hassle returning it to be fair). The batteries drain incredibly fast and the charger is slow. For the lightest of jobs its OK but its really not great. Its a shame cause the size and weight was really handy but functionally pretty useless

And why is that a problem
you can get drill bits with a reduced shank.

And the Worx one is not!!!!!!!!

Nope.

Homebase do one with a better spec for about half the price:
OK less well known brand and 2yr warranty but maybe worth a punt at the price.
EDIT: Not a hammer drill, DOH!

I take it you own one.

I had this one but returned it. The charging unit is built in to the battery as one unit, pretty poor design.
smileypete
21 Mar 16#47
Really? How do the two batteries work then, surely they can't have a charger built into them?
Just noticed it's a non hammer drill anyway... :neutral_face:

Had this for a couple of months and it's perfect for diy and all household stuff, eases through brick and so on, actually used the brushless version of this yesterday with the metal chuck and all the fancy add ons, but actually prefer THIS version. HEAT!
Opening post
Excellent deal

1.5Ah batts and 1hr charger too...
