Cordless Drill Reviews & Impact Drivers

We spent hundreds of man-hours on cordless drill reviews and impact drivers with hands-on objective testing. We also rated the most powerful cordless drills through head-to-head comparative testing. All 12V, 18V (20V), and 36V models go through our testing rig, and we rank them for their respective categories. When Pros want to upgrade their systems it’s often difficult to know where to go. While you may have your favorite “color” or brand, we seek to help you understand the competition. We understand the tendency for Pros to choose favorites. Our cordless drill reviews and our impact driver reviews seek to avoid bias by using standardized testing methods. Without an objective testing source, you may find yourself purchasing a tool that can’t get the job done. Pros Can Trust Our Cordless Drill Reviews We not only test power, we look at run-time, vibration, and ergonomics. The best cordless drill for one may not be the same for another. Our drill and driver reviews take that into account, testing various torque and speed scenarios. Our individual cordless drill reviews are thorough, and break down the build quality, features, feel, and performance of each tool.

DeWalt DCD970KL 18-Volt XRP Hammerdrill Review

by Thomas Gaige

More muscle and extra features are what help define the new DEWALT flagship DCD970 18-Volt 1/2-Inch XRP Lithium-Ion Hammerdrill. This drill comes with the long lasting, extra long run time XRP Nano Phosphate Lithium-Ion batteries that help facilitate the 450 unit watts of power that is on tap! A few of the things that we like is that there is lot of metal on this new drill and the new three speed transmission. The drill/screw/hammer functions have been moved to their own selector ring separate from the clutch ring, which facilitates a quicker and easier selection depending on your application.

Craftsman 11812 NEXTEC 12V 3/8-Inch Drill/Driver Review

by Thomas Gaige

NEXTEC 12V Lithium-ion tools are Craftsman’s answer to the subcompact tool category. Featuring a new color scheme that is a fresh departure from the old black and red colors, this line of tools has some unique offerings like the Hammer Head nailer. Since we are on a kick of doing compact drill drivers we figured the NEXTEC 12V 3/8″ drill/driver deserves a closer look also.

DeWalt redesigned their 9.6V DC750KA cordless drill and the new model offers better balance and an improved clutch system for those do-it-yourself projects around the home. We compared the new drill to its earlier predecessor, the DW952 (the drill more immediately replaces the DW926K-2) and found several distinct improvements which make this new model a pleasure to work with and a definite step up in the 9.6V category.
