Cordless drill report - Metabo BS12Pro 10.8V

Very confusing name ("Metabo BS12PRO Cordless Drill/Driver") considering it's 10.8V. Comes in a good case with two 4Ah Li-Ion batteries, a charger, and a rather natty angled drive gizzmo. I bought this about a month ago from Amazon and am very pleased indeed. I'm surprised how often the angled gizzmo has been used and one battery did many days of work, sometimes with a 50mm hole saw. Much more capable than a higher voltage NiCd DeWalt. The detachable chuck has been useful occasionally. All in all I'm very impressed. More info here (this goes to Amazon, with a preview for the nervous):

The picture shows 3.0Ah whilst the text says 4.0, which is it? (Not that it makes much difference, 3.0Ah will be more than enough for normal use)

A hammer function makes a drill heavier and longer than otherwise, plus the hammer performance is pathetic compared to an SDS - I decided it was better to opt for the non-hammer type and use an SDS when needed.
