The cordless drill/driver is a workshop staple for drilling holes and driving screws. Modern models offer brushless motors, multiple clutch settings, LED worklights and all metal gearboxes. Compact 12 V drills suit light assembly, while 18 V and 36 V tools tackle heavy duty drilling in timber, metal and masonry with hammer action.
Cordless drills generally fall into three main categories:
Drill Drivers – for general drilling and screwdriving tasks
Combi Drills (Hammer Drills) – add a hammer action for drilling into masonry
Impact Drivers – deliver high torque bursts for driving screws and bolts quickly
Each type is suited to different tasks, so choosing the right one depends on your materials and application.
Consider:
Voltage: 12V is great for light-duty jobs; 18V (or 20V Max) suits most professional and heavy-duty use
Torque & speed settings: adjustable controls allow you to match power to the task
Chuck size: 10mm or 13mm chucks accept a range of drill bits
Battery platform: match it with tools you already own for cost-efficiency and compatibility
With the correct bit and settings, cordless drills can handle:
Wood and composites
Metal (mild steel, aluminum)
Plastic and PVC
Masonry (only with a combi or hammer drill)
Always use sharp, purpose-designed drill bits and let the drill do the work—don’t force it.
