One good part with Aldi .. Is they warrant their goods !! I would say the brand behind the drill is a good one .. Bought an angle grinder off Aldi some time back and AEG grinder over $250 . Both are still going strong .. We give our angle grinders hell fabricating turbo exhaust manifolds etc.. The brand behind the drill, maybe the same ?

Thanks Aus-Kiwi for the thumbs up If it can handle that kind of work good enough for me

all the tools and other non-food stuff have been good for me - better often than the expensive branded ones.
Still wearing a pair of their $20 runners 2 years later - more than you can say about Nikes at $300+

For better or worse I got one of these today, along with two batteries and the charger. Sounds very powerfull after charging batteries. Noticed that the drill body itself has a 5 year warranty so should have good pedigree , batteries only have 1 year warranty though (fair enough). Nice extra is that the drill case accommodates the drill with battery AND a spare battery . I'll let you know once I have used it 'for real' how it performs - and if there are problems.

I purchased a Drill and later a LED work light both share the same battery very happy, use the drill with an adapter and socket to wind my corner legs up and down 10 second job.

I bought the ALDI 12Volt kit that had the single rechargeable battery to power three individual units, drill being one of them. The entire kit included in a carry bag was battery, charger, drill, jigsaw/power saw and angle grinder/rotary saw.
The main reason buying this kit was that it runs from 12 volts so in the event that the battery fails then the batter case could be stripped out and wired up with jumper connectors and then run from vehicle battery. The entire kit weighs very little and the drill has had considerable use around the home and always carried in mobile tool kit.
Other kits now come as 14V and 17V but you could not set them up to run off the car or caravan 12 volt system.
I would never buy the larger higher voltage higher torque units. The torque supplied by this 12 volt unit is great enough that I cannot stop it when holding it in hand grip.
Hope this helps.....Muxman

Time for the update. So far I am quite impressed Not had to do too much drilling but it's handled all I have thrown at it so far, and still on the initial charge. Certainly outperforms my 12v and 18v drills - very happy
