A third the price of a name-brand kit and about two-thirds of the performance. For occasional use that maths works.

The Verdict
Good enough for flat-pack, shelving and light fixing. Not good enough for daily trade use, and the included bits should be replaced before first use.
Pros and Cons
What we liked
- Complete kit with case for under a third of trade pricing
- Metal chuck rather than the plastic we expected
- Two batteries in the box
- Genuinely light at 1.2 kg
What we didn’t
- Included bits are soft and round off quickly
- No brushless motor, so heat builds under load
- Battery platform is a dead end — no other tools use it
The Full Review
Budget kits deserve assessment because most people buying a first drill are not choosing between Milwaukee and DeWalt. They are choosing between this and nothing, and on that basis the Pico 4 reads well.
The drill itself is competent on paper. 45 Nm covers 6 mm masonry anchors and 65 mm screws into softwood, and the two-speed gearbox is a real one rather than a marketing claim. The metal chuck is the notable specification, because a plastic-bodied chuck is the usual cost saving at this price and it is the clearest tell of overall build quality.
Supplied bits are the usual weak point in a budget kit, and soft driver bits round out fast. Budget for a decent bit set and factor that into the price comparison.
The strategic issue is the battery. This is a proprietary platform with no other tools on it, so when the packs die in three years the whole kit is disposable. That is the real cost of the low entry price.
