I see it is in the stock clearance section - looks good to me. If I didn't already have 2 pillar drills I might have been tempted.....
Have you heard about

?

Not my problem, John.
Then why apologise for it?

I got the joke after a double take ;-)

It's £100 in the catalogue. So if it's already in the clearance list, then what's wrong with it ?
Although at that price, the temptation is obviously to buy it and try it.

Saw one in the Axminster catalogue this evening - £44.94. Ref CCD12L.

That's not a sliding or swivelling head though - and the CCRD is £150ish

That was my thinking.

Isn't 350W a bit underpowered?
I'm tempted though.
Must fight the temptation. SWMBO would not be a happy bunny.
Other vertical drills in this range seem to be quoted as 500W, so it may be a bit underpowered.
However it's a bit relative really. If you usually drill holes with small bits then 350W is probably fine.

Dunno. That's why I'm asking!

Drilling doesn't take much power, but some bits can need substantial torque (you can always slow down). Although 1/2HP isn't generous, I'd expect transmission slippage to be the actual limit, not stalling the motor.
My morticer is a direct-drive 1/2HP motor and I can easily stall it. OTOH, I quite like this sometimes, because it's preferable to a snatch-and-grab
