They have a 18v Li-ion SDS drill next Thursday for 70 quid. Three year maker's warranty. Doesn't say if it has a rotation stop - I'd guess not. Uses hex drills plus an adaptor for non SDS which may be a disadvantage.
also only one batt? & no mention of how big it is (Ah)....

Why is it that the power tools industry highlights the voltage, and by implication the number of cells, rather than the Ah capacity?
Am I missing some point somewhere?
Lidl tend to be pretty poor on their technical descriptions. Luckily, the tools themselves are usually very good - especially given the price. And provided you keep the receipt can always be taken back for a re-fund if they prove unsatisfactory. Not that I ever have done.
Because the torque of a DC motor depends on the current you can get through it, which in turn depends on the voltage that you put across it - not the Ah capacity of the battery.
From the French site:-

Tres bon! So lickle 1.5Ah li ion batt, slow charger - could be a frustrating combo?

Nothing stopping you paying several times the price for a twin battery unit from a well known name.
But for DIY, it might well be perfectly suitable, as is a one hour charger.
Can't see what any of them are hiding, as the voltage and the Ah is quoted by most / all of the main players (certainly all my cordless Bosch and Makita tools are very clearly marked)
