Evolution Power Tools R13CMB-Li Cordless Combi Drill with Variable Speed & Belt Clip - Battery NOT Included, Black/Orange,105-0001

Great all around tool and perfect for my needs

Super

I've only used this drill for a short period and already I'm very impressed. The range of features for the price is really quite remarkable and I'm delighted that it's British designed. First of all it's not too heavy and very ergonomic to operate. There are four very useful and easily selectable modes of operation: normal drilling for wood and for paint stirring/plaster mixing; hammer drilling for concrete, brickwork, etc.; fixed chiselling when control of the chisel angle is important; and, free chiselling when it's OK for the chisel to turn as it encounters resistance. In each mode the speed can be controlled by varying the pressure on the trigger or by turning the speed control dial and locking the trigger in the On position - very useful for long operations like plaster mixing. Then there's the reversing switch, which makes extraction of drills stuck in wood so much easier. Finally, the side handle can be easily locked in any positron for better control of the drill. In operation, the hammer action is very efficient, making chiselling operations effortless. All in all, a great tool and the fifth from this maker I've been impressed with, others being their RAGE3-S+ Multi-Purpose Sliding Mitre Saw, their Mitre Saw Stand with Extensions, their RAGE1-B Multi-Purpose Circular Saw and their Diamond Blade for cutting concrete etc. - and I suspect it won't be my last. Highly recommended.

Purchased this for a one off job of removing a couple of fence posts buried in concrete. I was not expecting much for the price, but it certainly did its job. The various drill / hammer bits were helpful and I really feel I pushed this thing to its limit. Its fairly powerful and lightweight, but It did get very hot and there was a burning smell, but I eased off for a bit and it carried on without problem. I think if this is was something I were to use everyday, I would probably want to invest a bit more money in it, but believe if its a one off job you want doing, this thing is great.

This drill works perfectly. It is very easy to use and the grips are comfortable to use whilst drilling. It is relatively compact for the type of drill that it is. But as you should expect dur to its power it is larger than a normal drill. It is mains powered, or at least the one I purchased is, so I cannot comment on battery life.
