Default Aldi drill

Anyone tried this:

Any good for the price? Is the battery up to the job? Chuck any good?
Last time I bought a cheap drill (Ryobi) the drill slipped in the jaws
when using hammer.

I bought one on Sunday last, for using and breaking on a job to save my
decent tools. It seems quite good for the money, though I don't expect
miracles. If it lasts a few months of drilling and screwing (I won't be
using the hammer action) I'll be happy with it.
Handily, it also works well enough with a 12V Makita battery I have
knocking around.
