Cordless Drills
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.
What types of cordless drills are available, and how do they differ?
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.
How do I choose the right cordless drill for my needs?
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
What materials can I drill with a cordless drill?
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.
