would I be able to drill concrete wall with this? without buying anymore accessories apart from the ones that comes in the box? I would like to wall-mount my TV!
thanks for answers!

I would assume not. It doesn't have hammer action? You would need to have masonry bits.

it wouldn't turn at all, they were all jammed and I tried my hardest to unlock them .
anyway I then bought a Stanley ,£69 I think with 2 batteries.

Did you turn the chuck clockwise or anti-clockwise. Same thing happened to me when I bought the 12v cordless drill. Tried turning it anti-clockwise as it stated on the chuck (release), it won't turn. Then tried it clockwise - the chuck opened. Happy with purchase. Bought the spare battery from Walther-Services also.

Does this offer hammer mode? Assume not as not mentioned. Only has one battery but this is a lot cheaper than elsewhere. And Aldi or Lidl tech is usually decent quality.

I had a look at that before but the charge time on that one is 3-5hrs. I think the aldi one is better for that reason.

2 batteries. Getting extra accessories out of Lidl/Aldi has always what has put me off buying their power tools.
The Aldi drill is 2 speed as opposed to single speed for the Challenger
The Aldi drill has a 1 hour charger as opposed to 3-5 hours for the Challenger
The challenger comes with 1 double end screwdriver bit the Adii drill comes with all these
5 and 6 mm slotted drill bits
PH1 and PH2 Phillips drill bits
PZ1 and PZ2 Pozi drill bits
1 Magnetic bit holder 60 mm
6x HSS drill bits
