Neilsen CT1787 18V Cordless Drill - Red

I tend to go through cordless drills like no mans business, i have bought expensive to the outright king of cordless drill/drivers. I i find that after a few months to a year the battery starts to fail. Remember rechargable batteries tend to take a thousand charges or so before they fail, i think this is to make you buy new after three to four years. This drill looks and feels cheap but it works just as well as the more expensive makes the only difference is how long you can work between charges. I use my cordless most of the day and this lasts apox five hours constant use both drilling and driving. So i would recommend this cordless drill.Did you know that in Philippines...Based on the number of a car's license plate, cars are restricted from use on certain days of the week.

Used for a few weeks now. It has enough torque to drill1cm holes in brick work. Went for several work sessions between recharging. This is the first drill I have had with a keyless chuck. I'm impressed with the quick change between drill bit and screwdriver bits..Drives screwes into wood without much difficulty.

bought a bosch cordless drill with 2 batteries 2 yrs ago (£70 ). What a pile of guano !!! Each battery lasted 30 mins of use, but took 2 hours to recharge..what rubbish ! This neilsen battery outlasts both bosch ones by far. Someone on this site asked if he could buy a spare neilsen battery. NO was the reply. Well, why not buy a 2nd drill complete with battery, I did ....seems the logical thing to do, considering any brand of drill battery is at least £35 !! Happy drilling

Like other reviewers, this drill was bought mainly for use as a caravan stabiliser electric tool. As such it does the job very well, but does not provide a great deal of oomph otherwise. It has a moulded plastic body, variable torque settings and reversible drive, but no hammer drill action. On a full charge the power is adequate but no match for a regular mains powered drill. The 18v battery does have an impressive life, and when I purposely drained the battery to cycle the charge a few times, it lasted a good few hours. For its price it is highly recommended, but not in the same league as one of the quality makes.

When I first got this product it had a battery problem - they sent us a new one so we were good for a while but then the problem came back again later. The drill had hardly been used and clearly has a problem with either the charger or the battery unit. They have refused to send another battery out as we are past the warranty time, but I would like to warn other users that this problem may affect you if you buy this product. Go with a better brand! For 10 quid more you can get a decent brand with a tried and tested charging unit! Buy cheap, buy twice!

We bought this to use on the caravan and make life a little easier when winding the corner steadies up and down. The battery does not last that long before recharging is required. Its OK and does the job it was bought for. Jury is out on if I would use it for DIY.

I bought this drill in 2013 and it's 2016 and it still works after some heavy use. It is a drill made for small jobs so if that is what you are looking for then go for it. The drill has done doors, mixed plaster(i know), installed fencing and has even had a bucket of water dropped on it.After such heavy use I must say that it is only now that I think it might be starting to give way in terms of battery life.My only criticism is the charger which doesn't indicate when the battery is fully charged... but never mind it was £20(not downvoting for that).Enjoy.

Bought December 2014, charger stopped working in October 2016 so the drill is now unusable. It's only been used for occasional light work (I have a cabled power drill for heavy work) so didn't it need to be exceptionally robust, but I did expect it to last longer than that.
