BashingBrian Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Mmmmm, it's got RC written on it so it's either really good or overpriced tat...🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 That's a re-brand, saw it in a lineup on "Project Farm" on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbulsara Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Mmm I am actually in the market for one. Got some baby furniture coming so ideally I want one that can be used for both rcs and to set up some ikea furniture and stuff. Can anybody recommend one?

Paul Busby Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I have one almost identical to this that's branded "Vonhaus" from amazon I think... except it's orange. Note that this doesn't have a variable speed trigger. It will do the job, just about, the soft clutch is pretty good for RC as you can set it to yield a good mm or two before snug to make sure you do it up by hand. It's still a naff cheap tool though and 9/10 times I reach for my Makita that's way overpowered for the job. @jimbulsara - If I was you, I would invest in a proper drill driver. The Bosch 12v range are great, going to set you back quite a bit more... but its a proper tool. The video mentioned by @Tug is a good watch if you really are set on a screwdriver. I think the "no cry" came out pretty well given it has variable speed, clutch, and a decent amount of torque. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Always worth finding the originals for these RC branded items. If you are going to buy a cheap tool for emergency use in the field or whatever, buy it as cheap as you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbulsara Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 thanks @Paul Busby. can you recommend a specific bosch drill ? Won’t it be too powerful for rc and ikea furniture? What about ergonomics? Are they comfortable to hold on one hand whilst working on a rc? thanks for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Busby Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N4PT3ST/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_F5MGA8YWB1D6QCWHEJKC I think this is the one I have. On offer at the moment it's a lot of drill for the money, especially with 2 batts and a charger. Ergonomics are excellent, with the proviso that you can't, "stand them up" like bigger drills/drivers. It is for sure overpowered for those tasks, but the clutch is decent so you can probably set that, and let it yield for most IKEA furniture. For RC this would also probably work, but I wouldn't risk it. I'd manually stop a mm or two away from snug. The key here is that it has a 2 speed gearbox, and variable speed trigger, so as long as you control it and don't always just smash screws in, it will work a treat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Looks almost exactly like this drill - the magnet on the bottom, I got mine from bnq for 16£. Not sure how they justify 30£ because its got "RC" on the side? Edited May 1, 2021 by Redback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up getting a makita which was similarly speced but a tad bit smaller (something i discovered from the link you suggested). Yeah i will just use it to drive the Rc screws most of the way but not all the way then finish them up by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
