We have compared many cordless drill drivers. Find out here what you need to look out for when buying a cordless drill and which criteria you can use to recognize a good cordless drill.
We have not only compiled a checklist with the most important criteria for cordless drills, but also many product recommendations for you.
- The battery is the heart of the machine. The maximum voltage of the battery provides the first indication of its performance. This should be at least 18 volts.
- In addition, the capacity in ampere-hours indicates how long the battery will last. Here you should make sure that the battery has a capacity of at least 3 amp-hours.
- So-called fast-charging batteries that work with lithium-ion technology and are usually also labeled as batteries with a fast-charging function are advantageous.
- The charging time of the battery should not exceed one hour.
- The cordless drill should have a two-speed drive. The weaker first gear is used here for screwing and the stronger second for drilling.
- The two gears should be able to be changed with one hand via a simple control element on the side.
- You should also make sure that the cordless drill driver has a clockwise and a counterclockwise rotation. The two barrels are used to screw screws in and out again.
- The speed determines the number of revolutions the machine achieves within a minute.
- The higher the RPM, the more suitable the machine is for drilling.
- The maximum torque gives an indication of the performance of the cordless drill.
- If you want to drive screws exclusively into soft materials like wood, 16 Newton meters are sufficient.
- For harder materials like metal, at least 24 Newton meters are required.
- High-quality devices have a manual adjustment option to adapt the torque to the given requirement.
- An important additional function is the quick-action chuck. This SDS chuck ensures that you can change bits with a flick of the wrist.
- When it comes to bits, you should make sure that there are different attachments for screwing. An eccentric attachment or an angle attachment allow you to screw in hard-to-reach places.
- A second handle is useful for cordless drill screwdrivers with higher power.
- A built-in LED lamp illuminates the work area and provides sufficient brightness for working.
