[QUOTE="b.life, post: 2439953, member: 77431"] Regarding driving screws, normal drills are not up-to task, you need impact drivers but for occasional jobs at homes drills with driver function will do. Couple of Points 1. Online pricing when compared to retails outlets seems to be higher. So I would recommend visiting the store first before purchase. 2. iBELL seems to make some good quality tools these days(I don't have first hand experience but from what repair shop people have told me) 3. If the price of the product is approaching 5000rs+, its better to go for BOSCH models as they are professional quality tools and Black + Decker, iBELL are not worth it at that price point. 4. DeWalt is professional grade tool but they are costlier and sometimes you will have spare parts availability issue. 5. Get a couple of [URL='https://www.amazon.in/TOOLS-CENTRE-BUTTON-SPIRIT-25MMX9MM/dp/B01MQTF900']Bulls Eye Spirit Level[/URL] and stick one perpendicular to the drill at the back end and one parallel to the drill on the side. It will help in drilling straight, when drilling it will wobble but it will help you in identifying how angled the drilling is. Regarding recommendation, 1. Choose a drill that has driver function and with >=30nm of torque for driving long screws. 2. The battery size will determine the length of jobs you can do before you need to recharge. Please note the battery cost increases exponentially with capacity. If the pack says 2 battery its is better to buy that product than getting a higher Amp battery. 3. Try to avoid accessory included kits, the provided accessories are not quality items. If we buy the drill+battery+charge it will cost less then the kit price and we can easily buy quality accessories for just the job that we have saving money and headache in the end. I searched with the above criteria in mind but most of the listings on Amazon/Flipkart are without torque listing or the listed torque doesn't match with the one on the manufacturer site. My general recommendation for occasional use get a ~3000rs model from Black + Decker/iBell. Most importantly if possible visit a shop and have a feel of it by using it. Regards [/QUOTE]
