Andy Hall has brought this to us :
The main thing is not the charger - it is the quality of the batteries
and of the motor controller and motor.

It is if you expect it to last a long time, but even good quality
batteries will quickly wear out and the cost of a replacement pack
often comes close to the cost of a complete new drill....

For example I picked up a new drill, variable speed, forward and
reverse, clutch, two 14v batteries complete with a 1 hour charger, last
year at a car boot sale for £20. There were stacks of them and I could
of had a hammer version for £25.

It has had lots of use since I got it, it does the job and when it
wears out I can bin it and get a new one.
