Advantages: Good for screwdriver use and simple drilling
Disadvantages: Not powerful enough for brickwork
I picked up one of these about six months ago from B&Q for around £60. There must have been some offer on at the time as I got this exact model, but with two batteries. The drill is pretty good. It is light in weight, but quite powerful.
Using it to drill into wood is fine. To put screws in, again very good. I managed to put up a small shed, which involved using for screws only. The battery lasted for almost the complete job, so I was glad I had the spare on charge.
Do not buy this drill if you are looking to do a lot of DIY work. This is especially true if you need to drill into walls and more importantly brickwork. It can handle plasterboard fine, but needs a hammer function to handle bricks and concrete.
As a drill/driver it is pretty good though. Buy wisely though as currently you can pick up Makita drills, cordless, with hammer action, plus a spare battery for under £100. I purchased a Makita and the difference is like chalk and cheese. Much more power, torque and battery life, for very little additional cost. That said, if all you want to do is put together flat pack furniture, this is certainly up to the job.
Summary: If all you want to do is put together flat pack furniture, this is certainly up to the job
