want to buy a drill driver

GoodLord

Coud someone suggest a good drill driver. It is for wood. Are cordless one worth buying? I had rok once only 3.5 v but was useless

Is this a good one for occasional use?

or this ? 12v any good? What does 10mm chuck mean


I have seen a rok 18 v for 20 euro but my experience of rok not good. What does No Load Speed: 0 - 550rpm mean

1.Yes, cordless is fine. The one you had was useless. Look for 18v ideally.

2.Fine, but if your budget could stretch to around €110, then get to B&Q and pick up either the Makita or Dewalt.

3. Steer clear of ROK. Woodies bargain basement tat.The speed of the drill when it is on but not in contact with anything (thereby slowing down its rotation ) -Dont worry about it .

Rok are a budget brand for home diy, B&D would be a bit better. I would look for one with a Li-ion battery if you are only using the odd time. B&Q were doing makita ones with two batteries for €130 a while back which are great value. I got one and find it perfect for light work, even driling into concrete.

This is an old tesco impact drill ID13E i have. No manual. No dial to choose task.What is the wheel at trigger? Can be moved from - to+

Is that speed or power.?

cant really see wheel but if on trigger it can limit speed by turning clockwise or anti clockwise slow/fast

GoodLord

Thanks guys
What about this one .

It says
masonry 6 mm
metal 8 mm
wood 20 mm
Are they good measurements

Generally how long are masonry screws. If putting up a shelf inside the house would 6 mm be OK

Or would impact one be better for screws
I want one mostly for screws and maybe a little indoor masonry

here is a closer video. The little arrow pointing up has a - above it . There is also one pointing down with a + under it

That is only 10v, your better off with 18v and hammer action if drilling into masonary. Use the B&Q 20% voucher offered above and get a makita or deWalt. Try for Li-ion battery and a second battery if they still have the makita deal available.

€130 for a drill with one dud battery, chances are the second one is on its lasts legs too. False economy buying that anyway.

a GOOD Cordless drill is the way to go. As said don't go less than 18 V
And don't worry about masonry feature.
If you need a Masonry drill then buy a cheap mains Masonry drill. There good enough for doing Diy. For putting up curtain poles etc.

Every cordless drill with masonry feature ends up spinning out of sync after drilling Masonry. The spindles are not heavy enough to resist bending when hitting a hard piece of masonry.

You should be able to get both for less than 150 Euro.

Never had an issue with 18V Dewalt XRP on masonry. A fine drill. Obviously, if you are doing a lot of masonry work, then SDS corded / cordless is the best option, but for infrequent non-demanding work, with a decent bit, it is more than capable.

Lads I think you are missing the OP's original query here, they want something for Occasional use, not €100 - €150 yoyo's for a professional piece of kit, in the OP case, the one from Aldi would be plenty sufficient IMO

In fairness, the OP doesn't know what they want. Initiall it was wood, and they were advised that the first 2 that they linked were fine, but recommended a little more spend for a far more versatile unit.

Next they came back with an aldi junker. Then came "will be doing some masonry" Then came a 10.8v - useless for masonry. Plenty of advice given. A tad OT towards the end, but all relevant.

Post #2 should have been enough.

Purely to assist.

Don't worry though, you will not have to concern yourself with that happening again.

Ebay UK is a good source for good used drills. What is your max budget?
