Don't buy either of these. You can get a Makita 14.4v 6228 with
two batteries for the same or little more money

A combi drill I think not. c £243
although I agree that makita are fine tools, if you can justify the
cost.

There is very little point in buying a cheap cordless combi drill.
The mechanics and control of the motor are simply not up to any
meaningful hammer action for any length of time.

This comes down *again* to the type/frequency of use and your available
budget.
Professional, or DIYer with more money then ability.
Real cheep battery operated tools such as the Argos and B&Q house brands are
a complete and utter waste of money, but *some* of the in-between brands are
fine IMHO for diy use.

A far better solution is to buy a good quality cordless drill as I
have suggested (this will do anything up to and including light to
medium masonry work)
