I love this thing to bits, It's a massive step up from the £30-50 low end drill i had beforehand. Perfect for DIY and I've not had any problems with the battery life at all. The hammer drill function is decent but nothing compared to a dedicated tool, with a dedicated bit it will drill holes for mounting curtains or fence posts to brick just fine. The case is a bit cheap but overall sleek. Buy the little screwdriver bits box, some extenders, and a small drill bits box and they should all fit alongside the drill in there.

EDIT: I've revised this to 4 stars. I think I was a bit too harsh. Yes, it's still no good for brick, concrete or even hard wood. Since my original review below, I've been using it to hang an internal door, fit door handles and other carpentry tasks and it has done an admiral job for those tasks. Just get a rotary hammer as well if you need to drill brick and concrete.When I first received this combi drill, I loved it! Problem was, I had never truly tested it.It's pretty good for assembling flat pack furniture. (Note that you would probably need to buy more accessories such as hex bits.) The plastic carry case is also surprisingly useful.I also managed to use it to hang a towel rail in the bathroom. (Though this kit doesn't come with drill bits - I had to buy those too.) This drill made nice neat holes in the grout.The battery seemed endless for those kinds of tasks. You could assemble a whole houseful of flat pack furniture on one battery. I questioned whether I really needed two batteries.Fast forward 3 years and now I have some real DIY tasks... and this drill didn't fair so well.First, I tried to drill some 16mm holes in wood to fit a mortice bolt. Drilling into a solid oak door with a flat wood bit got me nowhere. A couple of turns into the door, and it was clear there wasn't enough torque. I had to resort to a 25 year old corded Bosch drill which struggled but eventually powered through. This drill did manage to drill a 16mm hole in the pine door frame. So I guess you can drill 16mm holes as long as it is softwood.Then I tried to top fix some blinds. Unfortunately, my windows have concrete lintels. There's no chance this drill can get through that. (To be fair, even the old corded Bosch didn't make progress there.)So, what it couldn't do:- 16mm hole in oak- any hole (not even 3mm) in concreteWhat is good about it:- nice carry case- great as a screwdriver (as long as there is enough space)- can drill 16mm holes in softwood- can drill into walls, as long as it's not concreteSo on hindsight, I wonder whether I would have been better off just getting a 12V drill driver and a separate SDS rotary hammer. A 12V drill driver should be more than sufficient for flatpack furniture and they are more compact. The SDS rotary hammer would be used for drilling into brick and concrete.

As an avid DIY fan I have always used either Bosch or Black & Decker power tools.Over the years B & D quality has taken a nose dive so Bosch became my number one.Due to illness, when my last Bosch piwer drill died of old age I thought that as my DIY days are numbered, I would get a cheap power drill. MISTAKE.Despite the cost I wanted a relable drill so purchased this Bosch Power Drill Driver with 2 batteries and a charger.Well worth the money not only for the the reliability of Bosch but also for having a Drill that works as it should, especially the keyless chuck that actually holds stuff until you release it.Buy Bosch.
