Bosch is the lowest tier.

So China brand is below Bosch...

If it's cheap, grab and on many cases will last 2+3 years.

inside should be all 18650 battery... I think the charging circuit makes a bit difference, battery itself like eneloop vs cheap vs even cheaper rechargables. only the highend product will use the high end cells, cheap vs cheaper not much difference.

I had a 18v battery pack died, cant get a replacement, so bought another 18v battery pack, remove and replace the 18650 cells.

Bosch battery easy to get. DCA easy to get few years later?

the subpar quality of the motor will overheat if you plan to use for heavy duty reasons...but if just simple house work....sure.

you aren't going to use them for business or construct work...then, any subpar machine is good enough...and you aren't using them daily or heavy work with prolong hours usage.

Used to drill wall plug most of the time only? or signboard fabrication?

Carbon brush is cheap to replace

If drill a lot of concrete then get cordless rotary hammer and keep the existing drill too

DCA 20V Cordless Brushless Driver Hammer Drill ADJZ2050i 20V Lithium-Ion BL Motor 2.0Ah
RM 280.00 with 1 battery

Dongcheng DCJZ2050i [Type DM] 20V Cordless Brushless Impact Hammer Driver Drill 2.0AH Battery
RM 300.00 with 1 battery

user posted image

both gave same warranty 1 year on battery and 6 month on drill & charger

my previous cordless drill Bosch & Makita. the price is almost double rm 700++ for 20V
do you have any experience with the product above? is it good?
*
what do you plan to use this for?
why not just get a rotary hammer?

i have a cordless 12V hammer drill for regular screwing/unscrewing work.
and a corded impact drill for drilling walls/tiles.

if you want to up your home DIY game, a rotary hammer is the way to go rather than 18V or 20V hammer drill which cant really do much more than a 12V hammer drill.
