Wickes have an 18v hammer drill driver with a 2 speed gearbox and a

Wickes stuff is pretty good for the money IMO.


Does it come with two batteries? Having two is really useful.


For £26 you are lucky to get one battery :-)


I got a cordless drill from Aldi, 2 batteries + "one hour" charger,
for £22ish ISTR, but the batteries are 18v, 1.2AH so don't last as
long. It hasn't had the "hammering" that a similarly-sourced SDS
drill has had, but it's not too bad for the price. ISTR "Johnson
motor" was mentioned as a selling point. No idea what make the
keyless chuck is.
