    It's an ok buy, lots of power, too much infact. These typically don't have a safety clutch so be careful how you use them. They will take you clean off a ladder.

    I'd rather spend a bit more and get a cheap hitachi drill, much better too, much safer too...

    Hope it's ok to tag on to this thread but looking for advice as to what type of drill to buy as a gift for my husband....

    He needs hammer & drill function, for use in wood, metal and some masonry. It needs to be cordless and therefore I think two batteries?! After that I am lost!!! Any advice appreciated - thanks

    B&Q sometimes have a deal on a Dewalt for around €120 http://www.diy.com/nav/fix/power-tools/drills/hammer_drills/DeWALT-18v-Combi-Drill-and-2-batteries-10668127 it's a great drill and your hubby will be proud to put it to work and showoff the flash of yellow :) I think he will also appreciate the fact thats a brand name and not some green thing he's never heard of :D

    The products are not comparable. It is like comparing a lorry with a car. The Aldi drill is a rotary drill with hammer/chisel sds features the DeWalt is a drill/driver.

    I wasn't comparing the drills :confused: I was just answering the post I quoted and think the DeWalt would suit her/his needs as it works for me :)

    this drill any good? anybody thinking of buying?

    It's a beast. Bought the equivalent aldi offering a few yrs back. Heavy, but eats concrete. As DD rightly points out, be careful. I wouldn't be using it at a one handed stretch, for sure. But for 2 handed ground level work, it's a definite bargain.
