However my mate who's a builder has a dewalt and you would be amazed at how much better this is for anything that requires torque like fixing battens to masonry, drilling masonry etc. Absolutely no comparison. They are the dogs bollox

I am still using the cordless drill that my old dad used to have in the 1960s. It has a keyless chuck, it never runs out of battery, and all I need to do is turn the handle and hey presto, it just works

I actually got it from B&Q on a special offer for around £90 but they don't appear to do it any more, but this looks very similar from Screwfix: http://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-dcd776 ... rill/2710p .... £99.99
2 batteries, keyless chuck, carry case, 3-year guarantee. I'm no expert on DIY tools, but I'm more than happy with this purchase.

About as long as a piece of string....
Depends on the type of brick, the quality/condition of the bit and the type of drill used. Anything from 10+ minutes to half a second in my experience!

So for "good" I would now read "high voltage"
