Neilsen CT1787 18V Cordless Drill - Red

Excellent drill. Good power tool. Lots of power. Worked for a long time without re powering. Brilliant for price. I had bought a few drills in my time and this one holds a good position among the others

bought a bosch cordless drill with 2 batteries 2 yrs ago (£70 ). What a pile of guano !!! Each battery lasted 30 mins of use, but took 2 hours to recharge..what rubbish ! This neilsen battery outlasts both bosch ones by far. Someone on this site asked if he could buy a spare neilsen battery. NO was the reply. Well, why not buy a 2nd drill complete with battery, I did ....seems the logical thing to do, considering any brand of drill battery is at least £35 !! Happy drilling

i find the drill very effective good value for the money the only draw back was there is only one battery , but that is not a problem as the fully charged battery last's quite a long time between charges so it is not much of a problem . over all it good value for the price paid , and a very good reliable product.

Like other reviewers, this drill was bought mainly for use as a caravan stabiliser electric tool. As such it does the job very well, but does not provide a great deal of oomph otherwise. It has a moulded plastic body, variable torque settings and reversible drive, but no hammer drill action. On a full charge the power is adequate but no match for a regular mains powered drill. The 18v battery does have an impressive life, and when I purposely drained the battery to cycle the charge a few times, it lasted a good few hours. For its price it is highly recommended, but not in the same league as one of the quality makes.

Where else can you buy an 18v drill for £20. I bought this mainly for my caravan, bring the feet up and down which it does with no effort at all. I recently fitted 2 shelves drilling 8 holes with a 6mm masonry bit into brick. It took slightly longer than with an impact drill, but it did the job. Good value for a handyman tool. I would certainly recommend this drill.

When I first got this product it had a battery problem - they sent us a new one so we were good for a while but then the problem came back again later. The drill had hardly been used and clearly has a problem with either the charger or the battery unit. They have refused to send another battery out as we are past the warranty time, but I would like to warn other users that this problem may affect you if you buy this product. Go with a better brand! For 10 quid more you can get a decent brand with a tried and tested charging unit! Buy cheap, buy twice!

I bought this drill for occasional use to assist in putting number plates on cars, its a great drill, faily lightweight and has a decent power being 18v, not sure how it would stand up to alot of heavy use but it great for what i need it to do and i would recommend.

Bought December 2014, charger stopped working in October 2016 so the drill is now unusable. It's only been used for occasional light work (I have a cabled power drill for heavy work) so didn't it need to be exceptionally robust, but I did expect it to last longer than that.
