Erbauer Cordless Drill. Opinions please?

[conny]

Looking for a secondary cordless drill and came across this one.

Anyone got opinions about Erbauer equipment and what do you think of this for diy work?

owned a few of there cordless tools , which have been given a hard life in particular the cordless drill's (abused tbh) seemed to cope fairly well

so for occasional DIY use I do not see an issue

Some of their tools seem good. For DIY or even light trade use I think they would be fine.

But, for not much more you could get this:
http://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-gsb-18-2-li-plus-18v-4-0ah-li-ion-cordless-combi-drill/7434k

It has a higher amperage battery too, so longer runtime. It's also got a year longer warranty too.

Did the comparison on SF website and downside of this one Joe is only one battery and charge time of over 2 hours. As I'm only doing general diy/woodwork I think I'll go with the Erbauer.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Was talking to my manager in work yesterday and this subject came up. His response?
"Well we give you a generous tool allowance, use that." When I explained it was for home use he replied that if anyone asked about it, (which they never do), I could always say I took it home for a job and forgot to bring it back in.

So now awaiting delivery some time this coming week.
