Einhell PXC aren’t half bad for around the house DIY and you can pick up extra bare tools quite cheap and all use the same battery.

£79 for this one with a 4Ah battery, charger and case.

Might be cheaper elsewhere if you look online.

Worx I’ve heard are okay too but I’ve not got anything personally.

Premium brands are Bosch blue, Dewalt, Milwaukee etc but overkilll for DIY (edited)

Highly recommend the Aldi/Lidl offerings, batteries are very reasonable too.
Although for masonry nothing beats an SDS.
For your budget you'd get a drill and an impact driver with batteries.

I've had this for years too, shame mine is a hard case though.
Certainly good value for money, I'd rate:
Aldi/Lidl -> Erbauer -> Professional
I have used Erbauer along side some of the most expensive around and never noticed a difference.

Random note though, if you want an impact wrench the Erbauer is a bit meh. Ryobi has some of the best specs for that.

Find another £50 somewhere and buy a dewalt combi with a couple of 4ahs included.
You'll thank yourself 5/10 years down the line when it's still working perfectly, batteries are still holding charge and replacement batteries etc are still readily available.
