Only 14.4 volts.
And useless for masonry.
So i need 18v for brick work?
So this is realy just a wood drill + screw driver?

I probably should have asked before I purchased it. But i just went out and purchased this. Its all they had at robert dyas near work for low price and was not sure what to get.
At this point i just want to install a door lock an internal door and put together a bed (screw driver) as well as potentially drill some holes in my crappy walls (which i don't think are real brick)
I can always take it back. I just paid £60 including a £20 bit set. Should i take it back, have not opened it yet, and what would you suggest for same price? I need the 16mm drill bit.

You're probably pushing it with woodYou may be able to get through some very thin plywood with that
Are you joking or serious?

Just reading the review on it on amazon. I am not sure now. I don't like buying cheap buying twice etc. I have not opened it.
I could take it back and get this one instead:

I could possibly even fork out for this one, if it means it will last longer and not require me to purchase another drill if i need to do any masonry.

Ok thanks for your help. I think ill take it back and get the corded draper one.
Are the drill bits universal? I bought a bosch drill bet set for £20, that should work in any make drill is that correct and is it correct in saying that i will be able to use the corded draper as an electric screw driver as well?
Ok i've changed my mind, i am going to keep this and if i need to drill in to masonry ill get a corded drill. I think this will serve the purpose of what i wanted. Again thanks for help.
