The screw-driving functions with different speed level settings are good. Anti-kickback is a bonus, keyless chuck is convenient. From a layman's point of view, having now used this drill, it's easy to use.

Universalimpact 700 is well-built and sturdy. Its ergonomic design ensures comfortable handling during extended use. I prefer a mains powered unit as it will always be ready to work.

Excellent match and perfectly enough for home or a garden. Buy with confidence. Very good all round drill for all you diy peeps out there.



Cons

The lack of manual chuck means you can't tighten.

Quality


Simple to use and sturdy without being too heavy


Drill used for multiple household and automotive jobs, it’s lightweight and easy to use


The drill is well-built and designed to withstand heavy use.


Bought this drill as my old one couldn’t cope with my solid rendered walls - this made short work of it.

Price


I always buy bosch and this works fine and as from amazon marketplace, a great price.


The price alone kind of implies that it's not really meant for massive heavy duty projects, on construction sites or whatever.

Shipping


It was delivered by return, to their address as requested, and they are delighted, so am i .

Competitiveness


Before purchase i saw a lot of reviews talking about the difference between a hammer and impact drill, which just confused me.


Some users might prefer a more comprehensive set of drill bits and other accessories for added convenience.

    I dont miss the cordless benefit since i use a 15m extension box and would anyday go for a high powered electric drill like this one rather than an 18v cordless drill with the limited juice from the battery


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I read some people having issues with securing the drill bits


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I found if you slightly pull the locking ring out you can tighten the drill bit easily as solidly as a drill with a chuck key
