I had the 18V for a while, and was pretty happy with it until it failed.
It developed play between the motor and the casing after 18 months
reasonably hard work, and went back for a refund. It is certainly a
better drill than PPPro etc., and significantly more torquey than an 18V
Ryobi.

Last PPPro drill I had _was_ a Ryobi - though possibly built down to the
(much lower) price B&Q were flogging it for.
