The best cordless drills for the home

February 16, 2021

When choosing a good cordless drill , you should first determine the specifics of the work and then consider the main criteria: torque (preferably from 25 Nm), speed of rotation of the electric motor, type and capacity of the battery (preferably lithium-ion), as well as the ergonomics of the handle and the presence of lighting.

Torque

Minimum torque 8 Nm, maximum - 200 Nm. The standard figure for household appliances is 8-45 Nm, for professional appliances - 100-130 Nm.

It is important to note that torque determines the force with which the shaft rotates. The rotation of the shaft makes it possible to work with materials and screws without excessive effort. The higher the torque, the higher the power of the tool.

For example, an 18-centimeter household screwdriver is enough to remove screws in 7-centimeter wood, while a professional one (165 Nm) is enough for 12.5-centimeter screws with a diameter of 2.2. It is good if there is a regulator on the housing that allows you to adjust the torque.

Rotation speed

This speed parameter indicates the number of revolutions of the shaft. When working, a value of 500 rpm is required, when drilling - 1000 or more. You can also change the characteristics yourself, so the higher the speed - the better.

Modern drills are equipped with a special gearbox, which allows them to work at reduced speed and constant torque. It is also possible to adjust the number of revolutions of the electric motor.
