Those Cheap cordless drills from Lazada - Any Good?

[Beachcomber]

Was looking at some those cheap cordless drills they have on Lazada.

Want a spare back up for quick small jobs but don't want to spend another bunch of money on something that only get used very occasionally.

 

Anyone have experience with any of these cheap drills?

This one seems good value, if it actually does what it says on the box.

There are cheaper ones but then they only come with one battery.

Is it cordless?

About 30 years ago back in the old world I had a B&D cordless.

Compared to these new ones I remember it was heavy and chunky, but did it's job.

The ones you can get now are much better, more power and lighter to use.

Don't expect these to drill concrete.

But perfect for changing hinges on doors, and moving the screw holes in the frames.

No plug in built like a tank and the cord is too short

Probably the <deleted> Chinese drills, use better ones and they should drill into concrete

Black and decker drill bits are still cheap, and probably made in China but better than the normal Chinese ones

[sucit]

That price does not seem possible with the amount of metal and battery…

 

You may grow an eleventh toe but what the hell.

i got one, fine for small jobs. Used mainly as a power screwdriver but have used it for drilling holes. small and light so good for them jobs up a ladder etc.

i was surprised how well it performed considering the price

He was talking about the drill bits. Not the drill itself. But to be honest i used both cheap drills and the bosh profi line and you notice the difference. You get what you pay for. But if you don't use it much then why not. I got one with a powerplug a hammer drill from bosh and a hand held one. Both are great but for different jobs.

Drill bits do make a big difference though, the cheap ones break easy.

And the screwdriver bits. I bought diamond tipped bits, pack of 6, many moons ago and they are still OK. Cheap ones become useless with just a few bad slips on a screw. Mind at the price you have to be very careful not to lose them.

Yes - well probably bits of diamond dust.

First also ask yourself what your using it for. The one shown looks appropriate for moving screws or drilling wood. Do you need variable speed, high speeds for metal, etc. Concrete used a lot out here, corded impact drill might be more versatile. 

Weak link on these cheapies is normally the battery. Even good gear the battery self drain and if not used regularly go below the point of recharging. Are some DIY hacks that can bring them back to life, but the hassle at that price point, I would buy a extension cord (useful at times for many things anyways) and the corded version at the same price with more power.

i did some research and went for this drill set, - DELTON สว่านไร้สาย สว่าน สว่านกระแทก 3 ระบบ 75V **เจาะกระแทกได้** รุ่นใหม่! แบตเตอรี่ ลิเธียมไอออน ขนาดใหญ่ใช้งานได้นาน สว่านกระแทกไร้สาย พร้อม แท่นชาร์จ และกระเป๋ากันกระแทกอย่างดี Impact Cordless Drill รุ่น AFF-10E | Lazada.co.th

comes with 2 x 4.0Ah batteries, i checked them, they are 15v,  (not sure how to test if 4.0Ah,) so a bit better than the 12v drills, seems well made, light to carry, all the drills showing 99v, 75v etc are just model numbers and not volts, most seem to be 12v when tested.
