    Depends whether you use a drill everyday or once a month. This is ok for the odd use. Obviously if your looking for one for more professional use you'll have to buy a professional one. However it's not particularly cheap, most basic drills are around this price, give or take £5.

    yea go and pay 90 quid for a erbauer at screwfix......isnt this supposed to be a money saving site theres always gonna be a better alternative to whatevers posted on here but its price im interested in........


    Anyone with a brain knows buying CHEAP is not allways a bargain. Rubbish is rubbish what ever the cost.

    Buying a good quality product at a good price IS MONEYSAVING.

    AT £13.00 or what ever, it is going to be rubbish. Fact. Far better to buy a smaller voltage "proper" make for £30 or £40. At least it will still be working in 2 years time

    I bought a Tesco value drill last year, it didnt even work for one application. So I agree you pay peanuts you get rubbish, thankfully only lost a fiver or so but lesson learnt

    The chuck keep working loose found out a screw was holding the chuck mounting but every time you used the drill it would come loose

    If it didnt work after 1 use, why didnt you just return it for a refund? :confused:
