I'm after a new cordless drill driver to replace my aging Metabo ones, I
have an SBT12 and a BST9.6 which have done sterling service for well
over five years now.

What I'm after is something slightly more compact (and thus probably
lighter as well) but otherwise basically about the same. Thus 10.8 volt
or 12 volt LiIon would seem to be about where I'm aiming.

I can't afford to buy new Metabo, they're out of my price range now (I
bought the ones above at clearance prices) so I'm probably looking at
sort of 'middle of the range' good DIY or cheaper end professional
tools.

I *definitely* want automatic spindle lock like the Metabos have, other
than that and being light and compact I don't really have any major
requirements.

What I have looked at (on-line) so far a-

Erbauer ERP407DDH 10.8V - Screwfix own brand, seems to fulfil my
requirements, anyone have any experience of this?

Ryobi 12v from B&Q

Similar price (when bought with two batteries)

Any other suggestions at around the same sort of price range, I can
stretch it a bit if necessary.
