We moved into a new house 4 years ago now. The first 3 years consisted of me using this drill weekly to put up shelving, pictures, hose guides, skirting and all sorts of other things - most of which I have forgotten now. This drill could handle all of them tasks and I expect also tasks even more demanding!

I am not a DIY person but found this drill very easy to use. Although I did really struggle for the very high speeds that it can achieve, its trigger is pressure sensitive so you can drill as slow or as fast as you want - making it excellent fro novices and pros alike.

The Drill has both a standard drill action and hammering action for use in tougher materials such as brick and concrete. This extra function works very well and pounds its way through even the toughest brick with ease but also very neatly and in a controlled fashion.

The attachments which come with the drill, an additional grip and a hole measurer, make the process far easier as you can have far more control over your work and ensure that you make no mistakes.

My main issue with the drill is that it is corded. I hate this as portability goes out of the window. it always seems as if the cord is slightly too short for the task you want to complete and have to bring out a 10 metre extension cable for just a few centimetres extra. The cable seems to love to tie around your legs and just generally get in the way when working, making the task far more frustrating than it has to be. The drill is also surprisingly heavy and this can make drilling tiring after a while.

An advantage over a battery powered drill however is that this drill can be used on very short notice without any preparations needed whatsoever - just plug it in and you are going on full power straight away!
