you get what you pay for, not as good as dewalt
Most so called 'professional' tools are just better than normal DIY models.
Very few professional would use such tools except as an easily obtained throw away tool.
Once broken throw it away as it cant be repaired, at least not worth repairing as the repair cost is often more than the tool.
This is why they are so cheap.
They are imported complete with no backup service.

I use a Nu Tool 30v cordless & have had no probs it's a great drill, as you say though it is a throw away. thing is even if i get through 3 of these it's still cheaper than buying Dewalt, & I get 2 spare batteries & a charger when I replace it.
go to ebay buy a dewalt, second hand or imported, get 2 decent 3 amp batteries and your set for life with a drill that does what you want it to and more.
You get what you pay for, i worked my way up through the various diy throw away, and so called professional ranges and was always dissapointed. I always think that any product that has to have a big label on it saying professional is a big clue as to exactly what it isnt!

I found a Dewalt drill in the skip at work once, being the type who will strip anything to find out what's wrong I took it home. After I stripped it I found the gears were knackered, a quick trip to a Dewalt agent & I found out why it was in a skip.... 130 quid for a gearbox!!!!!. They might last longer than a cheapie but they're still throw away when they go wrong.
Don't know if they are still the same but my first "proper " cordless was a dewalt it kept slipping after I had only had it about a year so took it apart to see if it was anything I could fix and found it had stripped the plastic (yes plastic gears) never bought another dewalt again.
