- Crap batteries
possibly, although they were both NiCd cells, I would't be suprised if they are standard tagged cells that can be replaced. Both battery packs seemed to weigh the same as well (?)
- Poor speed control
I tried it this morning. it's got proper electronic, variable speed control. Seems ok to my ( non expert) hands!
- Much lower torque
hmm, well I tried screwing a small woodscrew in, also you can't hold the chuck and stop it spinning. ( not that this is any test I guess ! )
- Crap chuck
maybee.. If it works I suppose I don't care though since If it breaks / slips it goes back to the shop .
- Battery charger which will batteries quickly
It says 5 hr charge max.. although it's obviously a cheap and cheerful charger.. I don't know if batteries preffer being charged quickly or slowly anyway
All things considered I guess you get what you pay for, it suprises me that they don't put some of these points on the packaging to enable people to compare . I'm quite happy with it though, considering what it cost and what I need it for.
