As above, batteries are brilliant but drill is rubbish and from China not Germany!!! My cheap old screwfix had a proper armature with changeable brushes. This just has a normal DC motor and after very little use, the brush assembly has collapsed and no way to get inside the motor to fix it. The screwfix drill did loads more work than this. Also, the drill is not guaranteed for 3 years as some sellers state, only the batteries are.
