    if its anything like the Sainsbury's one it'll be rubbish, underpowered and no strength. Battery lasts 5 minutes.

    18v is fine but if the overall quality is poor, don't waste your money.:confused:

    Erbauer or similar from Screwfix, 2 year warranty, Jacobs chuck, strong, good battery life. I use one and I would buy another.

    I had one given to me, after a couple of uses the reverse switch stopped working and the handle broke in two ( well a very large crack). Woolworths will not replace or refund on them as they say ' should have contacted them within three days of receiveing it and I must of used it badly':mad:

    im sure you can get a power performance from b&q for about £50.00.

    if you have any problems,they refund/swap product no problems.

    also if you see something like for like at wollies that is at b 'n' q,than b n q will sell you it for 10% less.

    Worx power tools are good, got a few of them and find them to be excellent. Check out Argos. They were having a clearance on a lot of Worx power tools.

    If the item doesn't work then it's not a bargain, is it. The poster is quite right in saying that cheapo cordless drills are a waste of money because they won't work well on masonry and are prone to burn out and break. Cheap cordless screwdrivers can cope, but not drills.
