I wonder if the drill can manage 40-45mm holes with a hole saw though.

It can comfortably fo 63mm holes in wood using a hole saw. I even used
it to cut a 50mm hole through a 4" thermalite block! (garage wall)


Grunff I see from one of your earlier your posts that you opted for
the 18v. What swayed you because the difference in price is quite a
bit?

More torque & more power! My last couple of drills (Erbauer and Bosch)
were 18V, and I wanted to get as much torque as poss.


The drill has three modes, Hammer, drill and drive. What is the
difference between drill and drive

This is a really nice feature. Drill bypasses the clutch. So you set
your clutch to the desired value, drive your screw, but next time you
need to drill a hole you leave the torque where it is and set the drill
on 'drill'.


as there is also a gearing control
so I am a bit confused here. Is this just a gimmick or something
really useful that I have not previously come across?

The gearing is very, very useful. You get lower speed, but much higher
torque. Great for driving 6" screws!
