Founded by Nick Grey in 2001, Gtech’s brand ethos is to make life easier and more enjoyable by creating the best home and lifestyle products possible. Gtech's AirRam MK2 Vacuum Cleaner and MYO Touch Massaging Bed are two of my favourite products from the brand. In addition to their floorcare/vacuum range, Gtech also have a range of gardening tools, ebikes and their recently launched power tools range.
- a cordless Combi Drill (a versatile tool with drill, hammer and screwdriver modes)
- an Impact Driver (for driving nuts, bolts and a variety of fixings into all surfaces)
- a Multi-Tool (for a variety of projects)
All the three tools share an interchangeable battery and charger, making it easy to build up your tool range at an affordable price.

The Combi drill offers 3 different modes of operation for popular tasks around the home. And you can change between modes with a ‘quick-click’ selection.
The chuck accepts bits from 2 to 13mm and can rotate from 0 to 1,700rpm when drilling. The screwdriving mode offers 21 torque settings to ensure no damage to the screw while the hammer drill mode has 2 gears and can supply up to 27,200bpm, allowing you to drill into different types of masonry! And it is very easy and effortless to switch between the different modes. Just turn the mode selector ring to the desired mode and you are ready to go.
Easy drill bit changing
Gtech's Combi Drill comes with a keyless chuck making the task of changing drill bits easy and quick. Turn the drill off and load the bits by twisting the chuck open with your hand.
Included in the Combi Drill bundle is a Bit Set of 9 different bits in six popular diameters of bit for drilling wood or metal and three diameters for drilling masonry. You can purchase these bits as an optional extra at just £4.99.
Variable speed levels
The speed of a drill is an important factor in its overall performance and the Gtech Combi Drill comes with a two-speed motor and a speed sensitive trigger that allows greater precision and control.
The low gear can operate from 0 to 450rpm while the high gear offers speed from 0 to 1,700rpm allowing you to adjust the drill speed according to the material that you are working on.

Overall, in terms of design, the drill is well made, compact, easy to use and has plenty of power and features for simple at-home jobs.
Mr.H has used the Combi Drill for a few jobs around the home and has found it convenient and impressive. The lightweight design makes it easy to handle, and switching between the different operating modes is effortless. The LED light comes in handy if you are working in spaces where there is not enough natural light.
The Combi Drill has a drilling capacity of up to 30mm thickness in wood and 10mm thickness in steel making it versatile and allowing you to handle almost any job around your home.
