Don't want to spend a fortune. :)
Opinions please....from those who know about cordless drills. :)

Personally I'd have this instead for similar money...

Close to 50% more torque and a broader variety of other tools if you ever felt the urge to branch out.

This? :)

The Bosch only has 45nm torque, whilst the Dewalt has 65nm.
Or try this (with 85nm of torque) -

I bought one 6 months ago (admittedly I already have 2/ 3 / 4 amh batteries), but 85nm of torque, 5 years warranty (which I unfortunately have used on a couple of their standard tools but was excellent service), but what a beast of a drill! Only occasionally in at Lidl, but their Performance range is excellent quality.
I also have their Performance impact wrench and with 1956 nm of 'nut busting' torque is up with the torque of the top Milwaukee wrenches, which only have a limited extended warranty. The quality is very good, and cheaper than Milwaukee. Come in at around £120- £130 ish. Worth considering.

Yes. I noticed that. Probably worth the extra £10 for that alone.

Parkside and Lidl. I thought the name seemed familiar. 85NM is impressive. I shall look into this. :y

I have just been to the garage to confirm my cordless Parkside Performance impact / hammer drill model -
There are several versions with different outputs.
Mine is actually more powerful than the one I posted -
Max torque - 150nM
Model no. PPSBSA 20-Li A1
Lidl item (IAN) no. 411781.
From my experience of their Performance range, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised... :y

This one JD?

Yes, that's the rascal! I've only ever used it with a 4ah battery which I've found ok for any use I've made of it. The smart 8ah battery seems to be pretty potent, and I think the long side handle is useful even if only to prevent injury to your wrist! I watched the video, which certainly put it through its paces, although I tend to use their impact driver for any long woodscrews and hex head screws which works brilliantly - I have only used this drill for drilling rather than screwing.
But I'm tempted to get an 8 ah battery.....
But for the money, the power and the unbeatable 5 year warranty, as they say, what's not to like....?

That should read 1856 nm of nut releasing torque with their black cordless Performance Impact wrenches (slip of the digit!). If you think the above drill is powerful, then this impact wrench is at another level again. I've tried several.impact wrenches over the years, and anything that you have to use a breaker bar on they generally won't even look at, but this....superb. Not trying to 'sell' them at all, but they have brought cordless tools for the DIYer to a different level....

That's more torque than lots of small cars ;D ;D

Just to partially ressurect this thread, I got an email through this morning that ToolStation have a current voucher code AUTUMN10, which gives £10 off when you spend £60, but it's in-store only.
Maybe useful for some :y

Jimmy, after much deliberation I went with your recommendation.
I found an 8% off voucher which took the final price down to £101 and a few pennies.
I'm very pleased with my purchase from the US of A despite the immortal words. 'Made in China' plastered all over it. :D
