It’s a surprisingly powerful drill that can put away screws like the professionals! I’m more than pleased to say it proved me utterly wrong. Limited to just 12 Volts of power, I almost wrote it off as a little toy. This pint-sized drill will get the job done even if it only comes with one battery.Ĭheck Price Probably the biggest surprise to me in this whole test is the clever little Hychika DD-12BC Cordless Drill Driver. You do get a brilliant little tool roll filled with useful bits to get started. The other thing I really liked about this set is the accessory kit, although I don’t think the bag it comes in will protect it from damage. One of the big drawbacks of this drill is the lack of hammer mode though, if you want to put holes in bricks it’ll take too long. You get an adequate 1,500 rpm at the business end and 30 Nm of torque to play with. The little 10 mm chuck can’t fit big bits, but if you’re just using it around the house you’re not likely to use one anyway. With a comfortable grip and lightweight body, it’s ideal for smaller hands and getting into tight spaces.

And because it’s all wrapped up in a sturdy L-Boxx, you can stack it up with your other Bosch boxes. They guarantee longer life per battery, and you get a pair of 2.0 Ah ones to keep you drilling for longer. The charger has inbuilt cooling and a boost mode to power up the batteries a bit faster. What makes this one of the best drill kits on my list though is the CoolPack technology on board. The ergonomics on the grip are good too, thanks to a big slab of rubberised plastic on the front and back of the handle. It uses all-metal gearing inside and has a metal Röhm branded chuck, so it’s a sturdy piece of kit. Starting with the drill, it has a brushless motor on board which means you get a bit more power from the batteries and it’s more economical too.

The Bosch GSB 18V-55 is the best cordless drill kit if you want extra performance on top of a pair of batteries and a sturdy carry case.
#BEST UK DRILL PROFESSIONAL#
The Professional “Blue” range of power tools from German tool giants Bosch is aimed at hard-working users who expect their tools to work just as hard. It’s not just powerful, it’s also incredibly comfortable to use thanks to a futuristic rubberised grip shape. It can put holes in steel plate without breaking a sweat and will happily chew through blockwork all day long. I love it! I just wish the battery would stop rattling about…Ĭheck Price Built tough for trade use, the DeWalt DCD796 hammer drill sailed through all my challenges.

It’s a masterful piece of kit that comes with a professional-level case too. Rather than a weak LED that would struggle to light up a kitchen cupboard, the DCD796 has three different levels of light to illuminate your workspace. What’s not to like?Īs a bonus, you can use this combi drill as a powerful work light. It puts out 2,000 rpm, has the highest level of torque at 70 Nm, and blows away the rest with a huge 34,000 bpm in hammer mode. The only drill on my list to boast an all-metal chuck, you can tell straight away that this tool is built to last.

What really sets this drill apart from the competition though is the impressive amounts of metal used in its design. Harry Duncton Built tough for trade use, the DeWalt DCD796 hammer drill sailed through all my challenges.
