KATSU Cordless Drill Driver 12V, Electric Power Screwdriver 10mm Keyless Chuck, 2 Gear Speed, LED Light and 2 X 1.5Ah Battery Included, Ideal for Home DIY Tasks 102378

Drill just arrived and first impressions are very positive. Cordless drill/driver, two batteries, charging dock (original pictures suggested it wasn't included but it was in my case) all arrived in good time and well packaged. The drill looks great value for money. Torque control, reverse feature and variable speed throughout the two ranges. Time will tell regarding its performance and lifespan. I will update this review in due course.I have just built a 10 x 8 shed (Hardly a nail used. All pilot holes and screws!) and a set of IKEA bunk beds. Drill/Driver performed excellently and only one and half batteries worth used over the two jobs. Charging time is pretty good. I reckon the first battery was charged in 3 hours.(I didn't keep count as I was busy!) Torque settings are pretty good although I ended up sticking to No.14 which was fine for both jobs I was doing. Driver speed more than satisfactory. UPDATE- One battery has failed but the remaining one still going strong. Many jobs in now and I am still impressed by the value for money. Charging time very quick. Power satisfactory. If I need tough hammer work I use my big Black and Decker. This driver is not designed for that sort of job. This drill is well worth considering for your light to medium duty jobs. Update 2023… Still going strong very happy!!

Feels more expensive than it cost. Really nice build quality, smooth chuck, nicely weighted trigger and comes with two batteries. I bought it to replace my (used to death) Makita so I'd like to think my standards are high. This time I particularly wanted a small, budget, lightweight, cordless drill to get into tight spaces and this fits the brief well. It's worth knowing it is not a powerful or fast drill but it's ideal for accurate woodwork. It does not have a hammer action for masonry but handles a 10mm wood bit with ease. Battery life seems more than adequate but as there's two you can easily use one whilst charging the other, if needs be. Works well as a driver, with a good clutch to stop you going through your work piece. You could even buy this just as a driver and you wouldn't be disappointed. However, if you want a decent (light duty) drill for DIY, craft or hobby use, this is a great choice. I'm using mine to convert a campervan at the moment.

I'm not at all sure what the description - Special Gear - actually refers to. I chose this drill over the other one on option because I prefer the colours of this drill to that of the alternative drill. Plus points far outweigh the negatives: it has a nice feel to it and certainly seems a professional drill - given the price. Two batteries supplied, as is the charger and charging cradle. Unlike the advert states it does not have 20 torque settings but 16: not that such a difference will keep me awake at nights, ha. It has 2 speeds, reversing switch, adjustable speed via the finger control. Keyless chuck.The loss of one star is due to the case: it is clearly either a generic case or someone has slipped up somewhere because when carrying the drill in the case the drill can be heard and felt slipping about in the case; which, judged in and of itself, is a nice strong case.

Good value,Compact little drill and works great

I have owned the drill for a couple of weeks and so far it is all good. It seems well made, The battery is still full of juice and is easy to change. Everything works well: speed change, spotlight, forward and reverse switch. I am very pleased with it. It was delivered well withing the stated time. Well worth the money and I would recommend it for any light handyman type of work.

I would give it minus stars if I had the option. The drill itself is okay. I've had this drill for about 18 months and only used it 4 times to build IKEA furniture. One battery is dead the other one only lasts for around 5 mins then dies.I have a 10 year old branded cordless drill which I use regularly, the batteries on that are still going strong, I bought this to save time, not having to change drill bits.Absolute waste of money, I should have spent a bit more and bought a branded product. I took a chance, because it was a British retailer. AIM tools are the only company that sell this brand. I wrote to them to bring this to their attention, never received a reply.IMO, stay away from this product unless you're going to dispose of it after a few uses. If you want something to last then add a bit more buy a branded product.

Charging stand instructions are not correct. The green light DOES NOT COME On not a problem but the first battery might have been fully charged within 20 minutes. As green and red were both off, but originally the red light had been on, I assume that no further charging will occur? I put in the second battery to charge. The red light came on. After 10 minutes the red light had gone off and the green light came on. It appears as if the red light is on whilst charging. When charginging ceases. The red light goes out but the green light comes on to show that power is still at the charging stand. Put the first battery back in. The red light came on and stayed on. No green light, though A.C. is still on. The FEEL of the tool and case are brilliant! Glad I didn't order a larger one.

This is great drill for light job around house. Nice weight and feel not done any hard work yet but does the job
