Sealey CP1801V

Overall Auto Express rating

3.0

Best price: £64.75 | Batteries: One, 18v

While the other Ni-Cd tools were a match for similarly priced Li-ion rivals, this Sealey trailed. It’s well priced, and has a charge indicator plus 12 bits and drills in the case. But it struggled on durability and the slow 900rpm maximum meant wire brushing and drilling were easier with others.
