Top 10 Best Cordless Drill Brands
For anyone doing home repairs, redecorating, or general handiwork around the house, a cordless drill is an essential piece of equipment to have. From drilling pilot holes for screws to driving them in, a cordless drill is one of the most affordable and versatile power tools for home use.Not all brands are created equal, though. Some drills break after just a few months, while others have batteries that lose power quickly. In some cases, you can send your drill in for repair or replacement within the first year. A few brands even offer lifetime warranties covering everything from breakage to battery issues.
When it comes time to invest in a cordless drill, you have two options: buy a new one every couple of years or buy once, buy right, and never worry about it again. Below is a list of the best brands for cordless drills. While not every brand makes drills with the exact same specifications, this list assumes comparable voltage sizes and general usage across brands.
Dewalt produces some of the most powerful drills on the market. You won't have to worry about warranties because these yellow tools are extremely durable. However, the batteries can lose power over time, so you may need to buy replacements, which is a common issue.
Don't let the teal blue color fool you. These aren't "girly" tools. Best suited for general household purposes, Makitas are an inexpensive choice for a good-quality product.
Not too heavy to use, user-friendly, and long-lasting. However, the problem is that the battery easily gets overheated and needs a bit more time to recharge.
The best impact you can buy at a reasonable price. Their brushless set is an everyday product for steel stud work, and the batteries last forever. Makita for life!
These orange drills seem to work forever. As long as you complete the initial paperwork to register all the components (batteries, drill, charger), they offer you a lifetime warranty. Batteries no longer holding their charge? No problem. Just send them in for a replacement.
Versatility seems to be their major focus, as they make a full line of small and large-sized drills. Look for the red drills.
The fluorescent green/yellow colors make this brand hard to miss. The drills may be a bit small for heavy-duty jobs, but they are still a great choice.
A standard drill with standard features. If Bosch is what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed.
Very good, powerful drill that's solidly built. However, it is rather heavy and not very practical to use.
The brand has been around for decades, and they've built an impressive line of tools to match. The batteries won't last quite as long, but the good news is that you can find replacements just about anywhere.
While I like some of their other tools better, the drills aren't a bad choice to work with.
Very versatile and should do the trick for your basic jobs.
Not a bad choice, and better than some for sure. These guys haven't done me any harm, but they're not my first choice.
The Newcomers
It's really the same as the DeWalt brand, very similar. It's a good drill brand.
