river – Big in its Own Way
rubberised cap for protection and there are rubber ‘bumpers’ on the sides of the body and handle above the battery pack, so that the casing will be protected when it is laid down on its side. You can’t always find a flat spot to stand the drill upright on its battery pack in some workplaces. The battery packs are rigid and solidly encased and the slides are precise too,
making loading and releasing a battery pack very easy via the single press lock on the front of it. The Bottom Line I have been using this drill on a range of lighter jobs like removing fittings prior
to decorating, some woodwork involving drilling and screwing, and some cabinet fitting. It is a simple and straightforward tool that does what is asked of it. I was constantly surprised at how long the battery lasted – my record was a day and a half.
Aimed at: Professional fitters who need a compact drill driver. But well priced enough for discerning amateurs to consider. Pros: Torquey enough for 70mm screws into softwood in my experience and well specified for a ‘little un’.
It is compact and comfortable to use, and was particularly useful when putting
up guttering where it was small enough to put in pocket, and light enough to clip to my belt without making my trousers lopsided. It is packed into a spacious rigid nylon case with the charger and two batteries.
There is enough room in the case for a few spare bit boxes, drill bits etc. Frankly, with this drill I prefer having the nylon case rather than a larger rigid plastic one, because it is easier to find a spot for it in my crowded boot. Sometimes small is just as good as big, when it comes to drills.
