sorted bySo, not a type of drill, the "Line Drill" type, that I went hunting for, never having heard of one.
The Amazon page states that one battery (type unknown) is needed. Hopefully a mistake - but if they get that wrong, this could be a set of can openers...
These are going to be used as bottoming drills, I assume - to give a hole with a flat bottom. So a set of adjustable preset end stops with them might have been nice. The photograph of someone vertically drilling over a posh wood worktop, without an end stop on the drill, is presumably an idea from the sales people and not a serious suggestion on how to use them. It does look an odd way to drill a hole in a bit of wood..
I have a sort of love/hate thing with brad point drills. IME they really don't like hardwoods. YMMV. They don't mention what sort of steel these are made from and they are a challenge to sharpen.
Some of the reviews are pretty damning - with drills bending and snapping. The complaint about breaking through untidily is not very fair - you are suppose to drill until the point shows, then counter drill from the other side. Something a brad drill will do nicely.
