24v is silly for a cordless drill. Unless an SDS type. It makes it

Compared to the DeWalt, Bosch Blue and Makita 12v drill/drivers which are
2.3 - 2.4 kg this is only 2.6 kg, so it doesn't seem that heavy. In fact
it's lighter than some 14.4v.

That alone would worry me. Decent batteries are heavy! (unless they have
dropped to a smaller cell form factor - say AA).

There is something about the specs that don't add up on that drill. Max
torque is listed as 25Nm - which for a 24V tool is abysmal! Compare it
to the 12V makita for example he

Half the voltage and yet 65Nm torque (admitedly some of this is as a
result of it having a three speed gearbox - but even the older 2 speed
version gave double the torque of the bosch). Along with an all metal
gearbox and a couple of 3Ah batts (could not find the capacity of the
Bosch ones) for the same sort of money.

Anyone got one?

Nope, so view my comments for what they are - conjecture. However on
paper I know which I would choose.

looks ok as well.
