This combi drill looks quite similar to the Wolf Professional. Both have metal chuck rings and 16 torque settings, but this Draper version features an 18V battery rather than the 20V in the Wolf.

At just 1.5Ah, we saw the difference in the durability test, where this was one of the first to flag. Elsewhere, it was more on the pace with good results in the drilling and screwdriving tests, and a 1,500rpm maximum worked well with the wire brush.
