New cordless drill

[ppppenguin]

Arrived a few minutes ago. It's not brushless which is s shame. There's a LOT of torque. With Li batteries I suspect there's electronics at work optimising the battery life. I don't think the voltage is especially constant over the useful life so it needs a fairly complex controller to keep everything working correctly. When it thinks the battery is low it just shuts down to protect the battery.

Typical abysmal Screwfix packaging. Large cardboard box with drill (in case) wandering around inside. Lucky that the socket which was likewise wandering around wasn't smashed.
