Drill Advice?

[Rockbox]

I have a Nickel-Cadmium drill. It's heavy and loses power quick. I also have a wall-plugged drill that's heavy. I've been putting off buying a new one, but recent weather events require me to fix a few things. I need one that drills through tile, wood and possibly even brick with one hand.

I'd prefer a Lithium drill with a USB-C charging port. However, I'm price-sensitive, and have a One4All gift card from Christmas. I can use it at places like Argos and B&Q, and was wondering whether their entry-level 18v drills were worth getting. I looked for reviews on Youtube, but the landscape is cluttered.

Is the Black + Decker Cordless Hammer Drill with Battery - 18V from Argos a good buy? It's 25% off till March - £41.25 - making it only £1.25 more than Amazon. I also like being able to return it to a physical store if it gets busted. My One4All gift card would also drop it to £16.25.

How do the Guild, Mac Allister and Ryobl drills fare? Don't want to spend too much, but the £25 gift card gives some flexibility, assuming the product's not costed up compared to online prices.

Thanks. I made do today with my NI-CD drill and its 30 minute battery life. Not great, but in terms of cost, every little helps. Will use the plugin in the future, although the mixing of rain with extension cords concern me, so I'll let the storm die down a little.

What about Erbauer? £65 puts it in the same price category as the (green) Bosch.

There's an £80 Ryobi that's 25% off at Argos till March. EDIT: that model isn't designed for masonry, so probably why it's cheap. Guess I'll skip.

Otherwise, there's a DeWalt for £85 at B&Q.

Personally, I don't believe in extended warranties. If the £85 Ryobi is better spec and has 2 batteries, it makes sense to buy it. Unless anyone has any objections. What annoys me is that 5 days ago it was £70 on Amazon. This is why I hate gift cards, since assuming that deal comes along again, I'm only saving £10 rather than £25.
