Cheap Cordless drill

[ads1]

My old cheap cordless drill has just packed up after 8 years.
Anyone recommend a half decent cordless drill for under £60, preferably with a hammer action.

I know you generally get what you pay for, but this isn't going to be used all the time, plus I can't afford spending a lot on one.

My old one was a 14v cordless hammer drill, which has served well. not sure if 18v would be a better choice.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

If you can stretch your budget to £90 this is a good drill for a cordless.

I've had no problems with mine and love the 30 min charges

ALDI are doing an 18V drill for £19 this week. 3 year warranty can't be bad.

Thanks for the help guys.
I have heard good things about Ryobi stuff. I was thinking that maybe i am better off spending a bit more and maybe getting one where the batteries are interchangeable in case i get other cordless stuff.

I hyave had Aldi stuff before and seems ok, especially for things that you maybe use once a year or so, but thinking if i'm going to buy something new maybe something a bit better may be best.

I quite like the look of the Ryobi CDI-1441 14.4 Volt in foxhole's post below, but they are out of stock, is this an old model as all the other Ryobi stuff i have seen are a yellow/green colour!

This seems a good deal. Almost too good but it does say it includes a battery and charger.

This is the more modern version of the kit I bought about 18 months go. I think I paid about £125 and that was for the same spec drill but two of the higher capacity li-on batteries so that does seem a bit overpriced.

Slightly cheaper. This is where I bought mine from. Slightly unfortunate timing for you as the ideal package seems to be very new so the price hasnt dropped. Maybe you can find the older model kit somewhere?

this is a good deal

Thanks Big-All, That is a good deal. think i will go for that one. seems to get good reviews too. Shame it doesn't seem to come with a case though.

The other one i was looking at was this http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7113000/Trail/searchtext>WORX.htm

Anyone had any experience with these?

The screwfix kit isn't a hammer drill and only ni-cd batteries but still a very good kit.

You'll find it is a combi drill.

99% shure it hammer i have a similar model and the ring behind the chuck is the selector ring if you look at the top you will see oblong with 2 symbols one is a drill spiral the other one is a "t" shaped hammer symbol

besides never seen a driver with a side handle and depth stop

Well technically he's right, it's not a hammer drill. It's a percussion drill.

Still, there's a world of difference between a combi and a real hammer drill.
