This drill is rated at 110 Volt 60Hz so it's intended market is those countries with a 60 Hz mains supply, using the drill with a 50Hz supply will make no great difference, suitable for use in the UK with a 230/110 CTE transformer, the drill is supplied with a suitable plug for this purpose. The speed control is a rotary wheel on the side of the handle, I do prefer the speed control to be on the trigger but not a major problem. So far I have only used to drill for drilling 8mm holes into very hard brick, it did this with ease, I have not yet used it on impact for chasing out boxes for sockets etc, I have had several drills of similar construction over the past few years and they have all been used and abused and only failed after considerable use. These drills do not have a clutch or electronic torque clutch so be careful when using large drills 20mm+ in masonry that they do not get stuck and strip the drive gears. By the nature of the product it is heavy drill. UPDATE September 2021 I have not used the drill as much as I expected to, so far it has done everything I needed it to, however the electronic speed control does become unstable at times, if set to a lower speed the drill can suddenly speed up to maximum, for the price I can live with it.Read full review
