Even though this cordless drill uses a brushed motor, it’s still compact and feels well-balanced once the battery is in place. This goes a long way to making it feel good when you’re using it, like it’s an extension of your arm and not an unwieldy weight. I must admit that I was rather disappointed to not find a work light on this cordless drill. Even the wallet-friendly Terratek cordless drill managed to add a small LED for the price of admission. Having a light on a cordless drill is a luxury that you easily forget about, until you don’t have one. I wouldn’t want to use this cordless drill in a dark cupboard! The BCD700Swas delivered to me in a blow moulded plastic case. It’s a small case compared with the chunky DeWalt TSTAK, so it should be ideal for stashing in a cupboard or under the workbench. The handle is comfortable, but the box has a habit of falling over thanks to the strange spindly legs on the bottom. Lithium Ion battery holds over 80% of its charger over 90 days whilst idle. No Need to charge unit before each use.

Measuring 195 mm from nose to tail, it’s not the most compact cordless drill on my list. Weighing just 926 g without the battery means it’s still easy to manoeuvre though, which was welcomed in an 18V drill.
