Evolution Power Tools R180IDR-Li Cordless Impact Driver 18v Li-Ion EXT Electric Screwdriver Drill, Variable Speed and LED Light, Compatible with Erbauer Cordless System - Battery & Charger Included

I've only used this drill for a short period and already I'm very impressed. The range of features for the price is really quite remarkable and I'm delighted that it's British designed. First of all it's not too heavy and very ergonomic to operate. There are four very useful and easily selectable modes of operation: normal drilling for wood and for paint stirring/plaster mixing; hammer drilling for concrete, brickwork, etc.; fixed chiselling when control of the chisel angle is important; and, free chiselling when it's OK for the chisel to turn as it encounters resistance. In each mode the speed can be controlled by varying the pressure on the trigger or by turning the speed control dial and locking the trigger in the On position - very useful for long operations like plaster mixing. Then there's the reversing switch, which makes extraction of drills stuck in wood so much easier. Finally, the side handle can be easily locked in any positron for better control of the drill. In operation, the hammer action is very efficient, making chiselling operations effortless. All in all, a great tool and the fifth from this maker I've been impressed with, others being their RAGE3-S+ Multi-Purpose Sliding Mitre Saw, their Mitre Saw Stand with Extensions, their RAGE1-B Multi-Purpose Circular Saw and their Diamond Blade for cutting concrete etc. - and I suspect it won't be my last. Highly recommended.

This is an amazing, quality, all purpose drilling machine. I am thoroughly impressed with the machine and cannot fault it yet in any way, a very rugged and ergonomic design and quality cable.Having read several negative comments here I have come to the conclusion that they should not be allowed to use this kind of equipment without adult supervision. The extra power it has over "branded" units is very apparent when it's dropping a 20mm hole through concrete composite. It'll also add extra width by plunging 25-32 bits down a predrilled 20mm hole without any stress. You just needed be commonsensical about speed settings. As with all SDS units allow drill to do the work and apply only supportive pressure, for best results.Instructions are pretty poor and arranged at people with previous experience in operating similar machinery. If this machine will fail at any time in the future it would most likely be down to the trigger/speed assembly breaking. This is a standard failing on this kind of machine, BUT enclosed handle design eliminates direct damage.Brush or blow off after user to keep workings cleanUseful case, but it won't last too long.Overall: For £54.00 you can't go wrong and it will last most people a lifetime.

I bought this specifically for the chisel function to do some minor brick and concrete removal but also used the hammer drill function on the same job. I was concerned at first that the chisel function was broken as holding onto the chisel and pressing go I could feel only a minor vibration, as per other reviews. However the chisel function only gets going properly when you push this thing up against the material to be removed. It then works well at this function, as does the hammer drill. The manual is rubbish and should tell you this. Dropping one star for this reason.I've only used it on one job and it made short work of it. I will use this rather than my Bosch drill on any future jobs requiring hammer function.

This is my first purchase from this manufacturer but will not be the last.At such a good price you get a great SDS drill with 5 attachments.When this first arrived I checked all the bits and chisels and found 1 bit to be not straight causing the end to 'waggle' making it useless to use.After a very helpful phone call to the Evolution customer services this was immediately rectified and they sent a replacement drill bit straight away.They don't only have a quality product but also a customer service second to none.

I bought this hammer drill mainly to remove cement from standard house bricks so I could reuse them, and, using the supplied 1" chisel bit, it did the job effortlessly, and swiftly. It was honestly a joy to use, and saved me SO much time and effort. I would highly recommend it to anyone 😉👍

Drill bit snapped easily. Got a replacement and the hammer option stopped working! Not a great product!

After a few years of heavy use the trigger unit failed on my previous one and it cost the same to buy a new one as replace the trigger.I've used it to break up an old steel reinforced concrete slab that formed the roof of an out-house (couldn't use a sledge hammer), channel out for back-boxes and conduit (old hard brick and breezeblock), remove floor/wall tiles and it's coped nicely with everything I've thrown at it. Get the most use now as a hammer drill. I'm always reminded how well it works when I have to go back to a standard hammer drill for the odd job instead.Only bad point is it's incredably noise, so ear protection is a must.

Purchased this for a one off job of removing a couple of fence posts buried in concrete. I was not expecting much for the price, but it certainly did its job. The various drill / hammer bits were helpful and I really feel I pushed this thing to its limit. Its fairly powerful and lightweight, but It did get very hot and there was a burning smell, but I eased off for a bit and it carried on without problem.I think if this is was something I were to use everyday, I would probably want to invest a bit more money in it, but believe if its a one off job you want doing, this thing is great.
