Things to consider when buying a cordless drill
Before you make a decision on which cordless drill to buy, it’s worth considering a few points to make sure you get the most suitable drill for your specific needs.
Power and Voltage: Cordless drills come in various voltage ratings, typically ranging from 12V to 20V or more. Higher voltage generally means more power. Consider the types of projects you’ll be working on and choose a voltage that suits your needs. For general DIY tasks, a 12V or 18V drill will be sufficient.
Battery Life: Consider the runtime on a single charge, as well as the time it takes to recharge the battery. Some cordless drills come with two batteries, allowing one to charge while the other is in use.
Speed and Torque Settings: Look for a cordless drill with adjustable speed settings to match the task at hand. High speeds are suitable for drilling, while lower speeds are better for driving screws. Torque settings allow you to control the amount of twisting force applied and can help prevent over-tightening.
Additional Features: Some cordless drills come with built-in LED lights to illuminate the work area, which can be especially useful in dimly lit spaces. Other features to consider include a belt clip, onboard bit storage, and a side handle for added stability and control.
