Looking for a cheap cordless drill

[big-all]

yes bosch do a profesional blue 3.6v absolutely brilliant for flat pack and similar
it is very very low geared to try and give it enough "umph "
as i and others have said lidl aldi ect are your best bet then for about 35-50
you can put up shelves drill holes and impress your partner
10.8/12v may be enough if you dont fancy 18v but can still be defeated by stubborn screws but less so

They appear in the Central Aisle of Mystery at random intervals.

Aldi also allow online ordering of Special Buys.

Keep an eye on https://www.aldi.co.uk/c/specialbuys/diy/tools

I can see some.

Well these another cheep 3.6v again this time only 15 quid

But says its a screw driver
Question: surly an electric screwdriver should unscrew some tight screws that I can not do by hand?

Why are you drawn to such cheap rubbish?

 

[SFK]

As budget is a major issue (noting that I fully agree with JohnD sugestions) then rather than Wickes use Toolstation (they are basically the same company).

As your budget is a prime, then I would consider this at £30. I use a similar one of these this for small jobs as it is lightweight, its okay and a massive improvement on the aldi and all the other 3.3V that you found. But it can struggle with harder jobs.

But I worry that after buying that you will be considering more DIY jobs and then looking to get a better drill after a short while. So I suggest and recommend this at £45 (18V and two batteries is much better, and it is then less likely that you will be buying a drill again in near future):

with the greatest off respect to yourself and i mean that genuinely
you have several people on here with an amassed perhaps 100 years off trade and diy time and no one has thought 3.6 was even an option as its a flat pack tool that at a great push may do better
in the same way you ask for cheap transport and we suggest a moped or a pushbike and you say what is wrong with the childs scooter as it says transport and its cheep
the answers you have are from very very honest well informed genuine people and you should heed the advice as its well meant and to save you from throwing good money after bad

Or a decent set of "hammer through" screwdrivers (some will also take a spanner for extra leverage)


Better investment than a crap drill

Are you saying that these are the same drill but with different stickers on them?

a point to note 10.8 and 12v are the same 3x3.6 volt batteries but because they start at about 20% over voltage when fully charges at 13v and finish at about 10v when nearly flat
also" rebadged and looks identical" dosent mean they are interchangable as fittings can be altered to make sure they wont fit

Thats an odd number of cells? but I guess it would have to be to make it harder for people to strip the old battery packs to bit and replace them with rechargable batteries

So what do you think the main differance is with the 12 and 18V? Dose the 18V draw the same current as the 12V?

No, sorry, but as Big All says they look the similar but likely that have different fittings.

what do you think the main difference is with the 12 and 18V

In this case the 18V is likely to last longer and/or provide more torque than the 12V.
And the price reflects this.

Looking for a cordless drill that will remove a few tight screws ..... And may use for other things later on

For your needs the 12V might be good enough. But we recommend 18V with 2 batteries.
And do not buy a 3.5V or that Argos copy of a drill.

not sure what you mean by odd numbers they chose the voltage to work too and three gives you a trangular hand sized handle perfect to hold on to
lithium ion cells are 3.6[3.7]v so 3.6/7.2/10.8/14.4/18v etc
volts times watts = amps 10.8x1.5ahx60=972w for 1 min 18x1.5x60=1620w for 1 min
and just for comparason 3.6x1.5x60=324w

i have sort off stood by this thread as i was thinking you may be autistic or perhaps ocd ??most have left this thread long ago because off your answers
but as it seems to me you are not actually interacting with comments but throwing unconnected posts i will assume you are someone who actually needs a good bit off understanding or some one not really respecting the time and trouble that others go to to help so will leave it at that unless you can convice me you are a needy person rather than a immature possibly very childish person having a laugh at others
