Cordless Drill Buyers Guide

A cordless drill is indispensable for construction professionals on the go and a quintessential tool for general use around the home. Most cordless drills on the market today double as screwdrivers, making them convenient and versatile for a wide range of basic household jobs.

A key consideration when shopping for a cordless drill is the way you intend to use it. Here we examine a few factors to keep in mind as you select the right cordless drill for your needs.

Voltage Voltage is the main indicator of the power of a particular cordless drill. The higher the voltage of the drill, the more demanding job it can tackle. While it can be tempting to purchase the most powerful drill, higher voltage typically equates to heavier weight and higher cost. In deciding what level of power will meet your needs, bear in mind the types of jobs you want to tackle. Generally, 12V and 18V models are sufficient for light use around the house.

Backup Battery Some drills come equipped with a second battery, which allows you to work continuously because you can charge one battery while using the other. If you intend to use your drill for larger projects without delay, you may want to purchase a drill that comes with an extra battery or buy an additional battery separately. The investment will be worthwhile the first time the battery in your drill runs down mid-use.

Speed (RPMs) The speed of a drill is measured in rotations per minute, or RPMs. The most basic drills operate at a fixed speed, though most drills have variable speeds so you can make adjustments depending on the type of material you are drilling. In general, soft materials need to be drilled at lower speeds while harder materials require higher speeds. Variable speed capability makes a drill more versatile, an important consideration if you are looking for a single tool that can accommodate a range of projects.

Chuck Size The chuck size on a cordless drill determines what size bits you can be used with it. The most common size is a 3/8" chuck, which should be sufficient for most general household use. Professionals or anyone who will be undertaking heavier duty jobs may consider a drill with a larger chuck size.

Festool, Bosch, Makita and Milwaukee cordless tool manufacturers are well-known providers of quality cordless drill drivers.
