I want to hang wall art which is framed, horizontal latches.
Does drills like I posted include bits for various sizes.
I'll need screws or nails, is screwfix adviseable.
Possible concrete walls in small flat.

thanks

Power tools don't generally come with bits as there are such a diverse range of bits that it would be impossible to cater for all scenerios. For drilling and fixing into concrete, you will need a masonry drill bit, a screw driver bit, rawl plugs and screws.

Screwfix are a good company, their items are resonably priced. I shop in there a lot.

Typically drill bits aren't included and there is no indication at Currys that they are.

However, you can buy a very similar combi drill with hammer drill option. Without it you need very sharp masonry drill bits for concrete, they get blunt  very fast and are difficult to sharpen. It costs more, but you can buy it for about the same price if you wait and shop around

This one is £70

Even better one with two batteries was available for just £60 in Feb

considering this is going to be used a small amount of times.
Maybe this could suffice.

No chance. This is just a screwdriver that can be used for some drilling. The word 'combi' here is incorrect and misleading.

We have had 2 of these in the family which work well - https://www.screwfix.com/p/mac-allister-mscd18-li-2-18v-1-5ah-li-ion-cordless-combi-drill/317fx 

Buy a decent set of masonry bits. If your walls are concrete, all but the most powerful cordless drills may struggle - I keep a mains powered hammer drill for the tougher jobs

For  a small amount of times a corded tool will be much cheaper. Batteries are very expensive.

Unless it's a very heavy print, 5mm masonry drill bit, yellow wall plugs and 3.5mm screws will be fine.

- unless you want to buy a set

For screws, if you don't have them, it's worth going to Wilko and buying a small bag of mixed ones for a pound or two.

ETA: I assumed it's really concrete or bricks. Plasterboard or even  thick plaster is a different story (the tools as well)
