Recommendations for a light-duty cordless drill / driver

keylevel
I'm looking to replace my corded drill with a cordless drill / driver.


It only gets used for DIY (at the moment, fitting boards and bits so I can replace loft insulation in a long, confined space), so I don't want anything that's going to cost £lots, but I do want something that's going to last and that's able to do most jobs.


I've been looking at the likes of the DeWalt DCD778 (65 Nm). Thoughts?

    Dewalt is the commercial brand of Black & Decker. I have found their products satisfactory with the exception of a belt sander which expired in a shower of sparks during its first and only job.


    Makita have been entirely satisfactory except that my battery-powered drill/diver has a wobbly chuck.


    Hikoki (ex-Hitachi) has also been entirely satisfactory.


    There hasn't been a decent british drill since Wolf. ?


    I would say: first, you get what you pay for; second, that any of the tradesman's brands that you can find at your local tool merchant (or Elex) will do the job.
