    It's for home diy, to be used to drill holes as well as a driver, my budget would be up to €150

    I bought one of these combi drills for similar usage as you - amature home DIY, about a year ago:

    https://www.diy.ie/departments/ryobi-one-18v-2-x-1-5ah-li-ion-brushed-cordless-combi-drill-r18pd3-215sk/4892210187468_BQ.prd

    Does exactly as it says on the tin, the second battery is handy as is the carry case. I have a Ryobi sander too which is much older and never gave a day's trouble for the odd job I use it for so was happy to buy the same brand drill. Second battery is handy as is the carry case. Price has gone up a bit since I bought it but if you sign up for the B&Q membership I think you can get a €5 off €30 spend voucher.

    If your not pushed about buying local then Amazon have it slightly cheaper with free standard delivery:

    I have a basically brand new brushless parkside performance drill. I can give you a battery and charger with it. It's really powerful and they're hard enough to find in stores.

    Screwfix has constant sales of drills. If you want hammer action check it has it. The cheaper versions may be brushed so won't survive heavy duty. Often the maximum drill bit size is limited so can be a problem. Ideally you need 2 batteries minimum or it gets very annoying in use. At least with a known brand you should be able to get replacement batteries in 10 years time.
