Recommend me a new cordless drill

As title I guess.

A bit of background, it won't get used everyday, probably not even every week.

That said, I want something half decent that won't die after drilling half a dozen holes in a brick wall, or screwing down the floorboards in a room.

2 batteries is a must, as is a decent amount of torque/power.

B&Q have this http://http://www.diy.com/nav/fix/power-tools/drills/hammer_drills/DeWalt-DCD785C2-GB-18V-1-5Ah-Li-Ion-Cordless-Combi-Drill-XR-13008707?skuId=13519410

Any good?

Thanks for the replies chaps - I'm going to pick of one of those DeWalts through the week.

Sounds ideal for what I want it for.

And if you have a relative over 60, they can get a free Gold Card, gives them 10% discount on Wednesday.

So, you can make it cheaper still, if they buy it.

My parents have one of those cards, so I'm taking them with me on Wednesday.
