Advantages: Value for Money Disadvantages: Does not come with drill bits or case
This hammerdrill is great as it good quality and easy to use (a must for me). It has all the standard features you would expect from hammer dills.
To prove how good quality Black and Decker are I still have my dads old drill which must be over 10 Years old and its still in working order. I reason I got a new one was that the old one was a bit basic and did not have all the gadgets that the new versions have on them.
It was also really good Value for money. I would buy it again ...
Advantages: Cordless, Quick Charging, Good Features Disadvantages: Pricey comapred to others
want to change drill bits. The weight and slimline size means it's easy to heft around and drill at otherwise fairly awkward angles.
It's the first powertool I have ever owned and I'm pleased as punch with it. £65 seems a lot of money, but considering that cordlessdrills range in price from £25 all the way to £125, it's somewhre near middle of the road. The Black & Decker website pitches it at the amateur DIYer and I'd have to agree. The cheaper drills tend to have 9v motors and lack any power at all making a meal of the most paltry task while the more expensive drills have 14v (and beyond) motors and only justify the expense if you do a LOT of drilling. The B&D Esprit has a competitive range of features and comes in a tidy package. The 1 hour charging time is a huge bonus, and probably the reason that this particular model costs more ...
. The speed ajusts accordingly. The option of clockwise and anti clockwise motion allows you to screw in and out.
The torque settings allow you to screw things in and out at several different levels. If you have it on Maximum slippage, It might not screw bolts in all the way if it gets a bit tight but it wont break your wrist when it gets stuck either.
Charging time is not a major factor. 4 hours will do to charge and it will last ages. I can work for about 4 hours of constant drilling and fixing with mine.
The drill itself is not too heavy either. Most cordless jobs any tail heavy due to the battery. Being Versapack, I can take it our and use it in my other cordless appliances. If only I had some.
its a lot of money at £80 but you know it will last as its Black and Decker. ...
