Advantages: As useful as a mains hammer drill, except where extremes of power are needed. Disadvantages: Needs regular use to get the best from the batteries
/recharged frequently it’s fine. Leave it unused until the actual emergency arrives and it’s useless, it’s limp orange glow being just sufficient to help find the candles and matches!
Well, that’s a long preamble to an opinion on a cordless drill but I hope it helps set the scene on cordlesstools in general, and the fact that you should only buy them if they are going to get regular use. (Unless they start putting better battery-types in them, that is.)
My Swiss-made Bosch 12vCordless drill (PSB12VSP-2)comes as part of a pair with a smaller tool (PSR 120)intended mainly as a screwdriver (although it drills wood OK), in a smart carrying case. They are both “drill-shaped”, i.e. with a pistol-grip and trigger.
Screwfix are currently asking £189 for the set, but I bought mine a few months ago in Hereford for £149 ...
Advantages: Very quick if you have a lot of tyres to top-up. Battery matches many other Bosch tools Disadvantages: Unsuitable for high volumes, eg air beds. Uneconomic replacement battery.

I get to pump up a lot of bike tyres in my work. No, I'm not a roadie for the Tour de France but a school's cycling instructor.
Almost always, without fail on the first day of Cycle Training , I'll get 20 'please my chain's come off's', and an equal number of 'we've got a pump but my Dad can't find it's'. In the hot weather we sometimes get, pumping up a seemingly never-ending row of flat bike tyres holds no magic for me.
It was whilst browsing a site dedicated to my wife's Smart Car that I stumbled upon my latest toy, the Bosch PAG (Portable Air Gun? - just a wild stab in the dark) 12vCordless Air Pump.
In appearance, the PAG looks somewhat similar to one of Bosch's cordlesspowertools, a drill or screwdriver for instance. Its 12-volt ...
Advantages: Cordless, Quick Charging, Good Features Disadvantages: Pricey comapred to others
, most were beyond my budget. I was shocked at how much you could pay for a drill. I'm sure a bit of flint would have been cheaper... but one particular drill stood out from the rest. Sleek in it's styling and silver in colour it stood out from the olive-drab and oranges of it's siblings. It offered everything I could want from a cordless drill; a 12v motor, quick charge (1hr) battery, keyless chuck, two-speed gearing with hammer action, charge remaining indicator, adjustable clutch for control when driving screws and to top it all off, a level indicator! All of this in a slim-line silver drill, complete with sturdy carry-case. Costing around the same as most other 12vcordless drills, it had a few more features and was slightly less chunky than the competition. Credit cards were duly swiped and I headed home clutching my tool (and assorted ...
