Doesn't quite have the weight of a proper professional drill, but good for the money
Would be perfect for home DIY, hobbies etc.
I managed to bag that one for £40 at screwfix just b4 xmas. mite b worth checking again
No idea if its as good a drill as the Dewalt but I've got one and it's great so far!
For £83.77?
That Makita one is only made for B&Q, so be aware that you can't use the batteries on any other makita cordless tool. It's also only 1.3Ah. The normal 1.5Ah LXT Version that you can switch batteries between tools is £139.99 in B&Q, and at that money i'd pay the £10 extra and get the 18V Li-on Dewalt they also sell. Tried them both and the Dewalt felt sturdier and more "umph", hence I bought the Dewalt and it's bloody great!
If you still only wanted to spend under £100 on a drill, then i'd still steer clear of this Dewalt and the Makita B&Q "Special. Screwfix do a Hitachi 18V Li-on Combi Drill, with 2 batteries and 1.5Ah for £99, and I believe you can still use the code FEB14 to knock a further £10 off making it only £89 for a better drill

Fair point but I don't have any other Makita kit (and don't intend to) and for basic home DIY it really makes no difference to me between 1.3Ah and 1.5Ah - especially as there are 2 batteries in the kit!
Personal choice I guess...
That Hitachi drill looks good until you see the price of spare batteries! The Ryobi is overall better value in my opinion, 50nm torque!
I have 2 reasons why to choose the Hitachi over the Ryobi, the first being that the Hitachi batteries have a bigger Ah meaning they last for longer between charges, and the second being that if they aren't using Dewalt or Makita then all the tradesmen I've seen or used are using Hitachi drills.
I've never seen a professional tradesman turn up with a Ryobi drill, and there has to be a reason other than they didn't really like the Ryobi colour scheme
Yep I agree on the larger capacity batteries, just when I was looking I decided that if the Hitachi needed a new battery I could almost but I new drill with 2 batteries at that price, which takes the mick abit really, each to their own, I like the Ryobi colour scheme
