I do like the look of that drill, I've not got any brushsless gear and it looks smaller and lighter than my old knacker...
Looks like me drill will arrive Monday...they ship fast at FFX I find.
Monday is a good day for deliveries...there's around a 75% chance I can grab the package, hide the wrapping at the bottom of the recycling bin (where only I can reach) and then hide the tool away.
To be fair the missus doesn't mind me buying tools because apparently I hardly buy anything

@dobbslc. Body is chunkier, shorter in length. Not a notable amount of difference in weight.
Plastic. I've only broken one in nearly a decade of ab-use though and that one got dropped about 8 feet off a set of steps!What's the chuck outer, metal or plastic?.
occasional use as a hammer
So is the brushsless a bit lighter than the old one as I'm looking to save weight where I can?
I prefer the steel chucks as I find the plastic ones get scored easy and then are uncomfortable to tighten. I tend to avoid any drill with a plastic chuck because of this.For this kind of light duty drill I prefer plastic chucks...less likely to burn stuff when used for close quarters fighting.
Metal has its uses for heavy duty too of course.
I prefer the metal

I've also got the angle drill for making holes in joists that are tightly spaced.
I like/prefer metal chucks too, but I've never managed to score one of these as yet.
Pivoting head, very useful!The one with the pivoting head, or a Flexiclick unit?

We all know where this is going...
