The Basics

If you are looking for a good cordless drill, Parenting Expert recently reviewed the Gtech Combi Drill (model CCD001). A versatile and reliable tool designed to meet the needs of both DIY enthusiasts and professional users alike. However, let’s first address the difference between a cordless drill and a combi drill. In a nutshell a combi drill has a hammer option for hammering into harder materials, so can be used outdoors on concrete, and screw driving applications making it extra versatile. Without a hammer application, most standard drills are only suitable for wood, plasterboard and metal. Simple!

Powered by a robust lithium-ion battery, this cordless drill offers convenience and mobility without compromising on performance. With its compact design and ergonomic grip, it promises comfortable handling during extended use. Equipped with a range of features including variable speed control and a keyless chuck, the Gtech Combi Drill is ready to tackle a wide array of drilling and driving tasks with ease, particularly when creating that all important space you can call your own.

RRP: £129.96**

Design & Build Quality

In our review of the Gtech Combi Drill we found it is built to impress, combining functionality and durability for a top-notch drilling experience. Its compact and user-friendly design ensures a comfortable grip, even during long drilling sessions, while the high-quality materials guarantee reliability when tackling tough tasks. Thoughtful features like the rubberised grip, and a belt clip make it a pleasure to use, but one of our favourite feature is the LED light. This is located under the drill bit, making it easier to see, as the light does not create shadows on the work piece. Finally, with its sturdy build and user-friendly design, the Gtech Combi Drill sets a high standard for cordless drills everywhere.
