    Nice drill. No spare parts. Batteries and chargers fail and can't be replaced because the new models have a different shape. Stay away!

    Okay, this is the 3rd cordless power drill I have owned and the reason is simply that the old ones batteries has given up and I thought it would be cheaper to get a brand new drill.

    Got my performance power cordless for 30euros and didnt expect much of it.

    The good is the forward and reverse rotation as the switch for setting to higher or lower speeds. This kit came with two 18V batteries which are a must since they both run down in about 10minutes.

    Bottom line after a week of use:

    The Performance Power Cordless Drill 18v is a realy good tool, I have used 3 diferent ones for years. But it is badly let down by no spares available.
    Switch assembly failed after a lot of use and would have been an easy repair if only a spare was available!!!

    The Performance Power Cordless Drill 18v is a performance drill, great to hold in hand very comfortable, easy to charge coming with two batteries and case to carry around.

    Chuck quick and easy to change drills, screwdriver bits, rubberised casing to drill not so easy to slip from hands.

    18V power to spare, variable torque, reverse action and hammer action.

    Gears broke after 5 years, would like to buy another or have repaired or spare parts available.

    Have now had my Performance Power 18v drill/driver for 4 years and it has done a lot of work. I originally bought it because the amount of lateral movement in the chuck was virtually zero - very important for accurate drilling. It is still going strong at the moment on the original battery pack and if it gives up the ghost I will almost certainly buy another. A bit more expensive than some of the other DIY kit available but well worth it and vastly better than Black & Decker.

    I have 2 of these for 5 years and they' still better than the best. My friend has been through 3 DeWalt battery packs in this time (but at least he knows he can buy replacements online, cheaply) Have to try the helpline number printed on the side of the drill to see if B&Q can help. Having used it before I somehow doubt it, so if anyone has had any success, perhaps they can post info here?

    After days of surfing the web to find parts for my Performance Power Cordless Drill 18v I finally came across this website, this guy can lay his hands on lots of different parts including bearings and chargers. www.carbonbrush.co.uk

    The battery power is a bit feeble and the battery has now worn out and I need another. Not sure if I would buy another cordless drill from performance power again.

    Had this drill for about 7 years, it's absolutely brill. Used it to build own conservatory with it, only problem had 1 battery, but lasts very well. Old age has set in, looking to buy another so will use other spare battery. Definitely buy one again, but cannot for the life of me find one anywhere...

    I have used this Performance Power 18V Cordless Drill for over 5 years and I would recommend it to anyone who is after their first semi pro drill. Apart from a recent pinion problem, it has been an invaluable cordless drill, having a good balance and feel about it. I have managed to get a replacement motor with pinion, so the drill is not finished yet! It should last another 5 years at least.

    It was also until recently, the main drill I used. I have now purchased the excellent Power Cr ...

    The charger failed on my Performance Power 18V after 6 months, causing the battery to smoke and the connectors to melt. Luckily I never left it unattended.

    The Performance Power 18V Cordless is a very nice little drill for the price - someone has done their homework well.

    Performance Power 18V Cordless: I've always used Bosch battery tools in the past - this is my first use of Performance Power stuff. Very impressed - excellent build quality and it does exactly what it says on the tin. The keyless chuck is solidly built and the driver bit holder in the top of the drill is a nice touch. Very comfortable in use.
