Our take

The BCD003 is a basic but useful drill for homes that only need one for occasional jobs. It's light, simple to use and has a hammer setting for small wall plugs.

It struggles with bigger holes and harder masonry, so if you're planning renovation work, one of the drills higher up this list will save you time and frustration.
