MYLEK MY18BCM1 Cordless Drill 18V, 1500 mAh Li-Ion Driver 28Nm, 1 Hour Electric Quick Charge, 2 Speed, LED Work Light, Carry Case with Accessory Kit, Variable Speed & Quick Stop Function

More than I expected from a cheaper priced small drill. Charges quickly. Charge doesn't last super long for drilling wood with hammer action, but recharged in about 10 minutes. After all it isn't a 24 volt battery. But it meant I took a timely break instead of ploughing on.Great for DIY. Will last more than 1 job. Torque is good and doesn't get hot. I'd also recommend it for screwdriver jobs as it is well aligned and light to hold.

The media could not be loaded. I had a Black and Decker NiCad drill/driver for about 20 years and it finally stopped holding the charge. For the price of buying a new battery I found the Mylek and it is as good as the reviews say.I'm sure technology has come on a lot since my B&D was made, so perhaps all modern drivers are like this or better, but I am reasonably impressed. There will be better "professional" equipment that will last longer, and maybe not as heavy for all-day use, but you pay dearly for them, but this was about £30!Here are my pros and cons.Pro. Weight-wise, it is lighter than my old one. It weighs 1.16kg with battery and no bit.Pro. It is also a bit less bulky, so fits in tight spaces more easily.Pro. Battery life. I have only used it for a couple of jobs so far, unscrewing and screwing a few dozen heavy decking screws, with a bit of drilling. When it arrived it showed as fully-charged (traffic lights, red yellow green, all on) and currently it is still on green. Hopefully it will gradually change to yellow then red before dying, but time will show.Con. I have found the trigger to be not always sensitive, like sometimes it can't tell when you're pressing it, so you push a bit harder then all is good. Not really a problem, but if you need precision control it might be an issue.Con. The accessories that come with it are garbage! Think the cheapest cheap metal. One drill bit broke on first use. The magnetic bit holder is wonky so the bits move off-centre while you're trying to use it. I already had a 20 year old one which was much better! I took a video of it but can't seem to upload it. If you are buying this because it comes with these accessories, bear in mind you will probably throw them away! You'll be much better spending £5 on a set from Screwfix.Con. No hammer action, but it's £30. I'll use my corded drill for heavyweight stuff.Con. Being a random brand, when it goes wrong, or if I need a spare battery, it's unlikely that I will get one. If you plan on using it heavily you need to find a 2-battery set. That said, there isnt a separate charging dock - you charge the battery while it is on the driver - so I'm not sure if you could be charging a spare while it wasn't in use.Sounds like a lot of cons, but that all said, I'm very happy with it. Holds the charge, powerful enough for the jobs I've thrown at it so far. It's a drill and a screwdriver and does the job well.

Great drill but the drill bits especially the screws are very poor quality.

Did great job and still working

Excellent tool to use. Nice and light.

I've been using my husband's drill when I need to do any DIY but it's heavy and I don't feel that I can control it well. So I wanted a powerful drill that was smaller and light enough for me to use comfortably. I read the reviews and thought this one fit the bill. When my husband saw it and tried it out, he loved it and jokingly thanked me for buying it for him.It comes with all the attachments I will ever need and an attachment that allows it to work around a corner. I'll see how it endures over time but it's much better than I expected and excellent value for the price.

Bought this for just regular use around the house instead of phoning my dad to lend me his full set. It does the job. It's light weight, easy to use and does all the general household DIY you could want out of it. It's not super powerful and it doesn't hold charge for too long but if you are looking for something cost-effective to just too the odd jobs around the house this is probably perfect for you!

The media could not be loaded. The recharging cordless element enables you to not have the fuss of wires in the way.Really light weight and good grip comes with all the attachments to enable you to drill accurately , Great buy
