Perfect for odd jobs around the house. Probably not going to cut it on a construction site. Reasonable price. Happy with my purchase.

The media could not be loaded. I had a Black and Decker NiCad drill/driver for about 20 years and it finally stopped holding the charge. For the price of buying a new battery I found the Mylek and it is as good as the reviews say.I’m sure technology has come on a lot since my B&D was made, so perhaps all modern drivers are like this or better, but I am reasonably impressed. There will be better “professional” equipment that will last longer, and maybe not as heavy for all-day use, but you pay dearly for them, but this was about £30!Here are my pros and cons.Pro. Weight-wise, it is lighter than my old one. It weighs 1.16kg with battery and no bit.Pro. It is also a bit less bulky, so fits in tight spaces more easily.Pro. Battery life. I have only used it for a couple of jobs so far, unscrewing and screwing a few dozen heavy decking screws, with a bit of drilling. When it arrived it showed as fully-charged (traffic lights, red yellow green, all on) and currently it is still on green. Hopefully it will gradually change to yellow then red before dying, but time will show.Con. I have found the trigger to be not always sensitive, like sometimes it can’t tell when you’re pressing it, so you push a bit harder then all is good. Not really a problem, but if you need precision control it might be an issue.Con. The accessories that come with it are garbage! Think the cheapest cheap metal. One drill bit broke on first use. The magnetic bit holder is wonky so the bits move off-centre while you’re trying to use it. I already had a 20 year old one which was much better! I took a video of it but can’t seem to upload it. If you are buying this because it comes with these accessories, bear in mind you will probably throw them away! You’ll be much better spending £5 on a set from Screwfix.Con. No hammer action, but it’s £30. I’ll use my corded drill for heavyweight stuff.Con. Being a random brand, when it goes wrong, or if I need a spare battery, it’s unlikely that I will get one. If you plan on using it heavily you need to find a 2-battery set. That said, there isnt a separate charging dock – you charge the battery while it is on the driver – so I’m not sure if you could be charging a spare while it wasn’t in use.Sounds like a lot of cons, but that all said, I’m very happy with it. Holds the charge, powerful enough for the jobs I’ve thrown at it so far. It’s a drill and a screwdriver and does the job well.

I wanted a cheap electric drill to carry in the car for various jobs on the caravan and at friends homes. Does the job with no fuss, and remarkable value. Should it fail in the future through hard work it is cheap enough to replace. Thoroughly recommend.

Great electric screwdriver and lightweight drill. Ideal for small jobs around the home and SO much easier than usual manual screwdrivers. Came with a few drill bits and attachment for screws. So far,so good.

The drill is great for small jobs around the house, i have not needed to charge the battery more than a couple of times in the last 2-3 months and it has been fine for small jobs. It lacks power when it comes to larger jobs but if all you need is the odd hole drilling into the wall or an electric screwdriver this is an adequate solution for a reasonable cost.

I cant deduct stars because you get what you pay for. It works perfectly, it’s just not strong enough to get a decking screw through 1 x 45mm deep board let alone through to the second board, just so you know. It’s more of a light use electric screwdriver than a drill.
