    ***Edit: As pointed out by fmul9798 the drill I linked here doesn't have hammer action which OPs drill does so bear that in mind

    Another option for a similar price is this drill that is coming up in Lidl next week. It only comes with 1 battery but that battery is bigger and it also has a bigger chuck size than the ROk one so you can use it with bigger bits, but that might not be a a big issue for little bits of DIY

    18V and 20V are the same thing.

    5 x 18650 batteries. 3.6-4V each. One brand uses 3.6V x 5 = 18V. The other uses 4V x 5 = 20V.

    I bought a ROk drill once, never again. It was cheap and got me out of a hole but it was a pos. and died soon after.

    Rok are absolute garbage. Should be treated as once-off disposables nearly.

    That Lidl one linked in the op is actually decent for DIY and not expensive with a 3 year warranty.

    + 345 ??

    Same as total junk, had one (ROK) that was barly capable of driving in a few screws into wood without pilot holes, battery could only hold charge for a few minutes too, absolute rubish

    Got an Aldi Workzone cordless 20v hammer drill a few years ago to replace it, absolute beast of a drill, still going strong

    I know a trades man whos using a parkside screw gun daily and swears by it too

    Ehh, I got a 20v cordless hammer action drill in Aldi yesterday.
    Two 1.5Ah batteries.

    Worked great for hanging a gate on concrete block pillars.

    €70
