Cordless Power Drills

Looking for some cordless power drills?  Not only is it annoying having to plug a drill into a socket to get it to work, but it can also get in the way of using the drill itself.  Also, there are certain times when you need to stick the drill in places where there are no electrical sources near by and that can really wind up giving you a headache.

The best solution is to look for cordless power drills, these come with a battery pack which when charged, you can use the drill pretty much anywhere and at any angle without any problems.  The only thing though is finding cordless power drills that operate well and have the power to perform their jobs without much complication.

There are plenty of cordless power drills out there, but only a few of them are worth picking up.  To help you make that decision for yourself, I’ve logged a few reviews here so that it will be a bit easier for you to choose one for your purposes:

1.  Milwaukee 2601-22 18-Volt Li-ion Compact Drill Kit

At $179, this 18 volt drill is one of the best portable drills out there.  It is a bit bigger and heavier than the others, due in part to it’s high voltage it weighs in at 11-12 pounds, however 81 customers having reviewed the product 4.5/5 stars can’t be wrong, this is a drill to be contended with.

The Panasonic 15.6v drill is arguably one of the best drills out there, but up against this, the Milwaukee is a clear winner.  Milwaukee may be a new brand name in comparison to Panasonic, however it is shorter, lighter and more powerful than it’s Panasonic counterpart, even the charge time of the battery is faster.

If you’re looking for sheer power this is the drill for you.

2.  Milwaukee 2401-22 12V 12-Volt Li-ion Sub-Compact Driver Kit

If you’re looking for something a bit lighter and less expensive, you might want to get the $99 12V drill.  This is equally popular as this has a 4.5/5 star rating from 106 customer reviews at Amazon.  It comes with 150 in.lbs of torque, 0-500 RPM, a built in LED for illumination in dark spots, a metal gear housing for extra durability and a battery fuel gauge which displays remaining run time.

This is a great tool that weighs in at 6.7 pounds, it has a long run time, good power and chuck and feels good in the hand, there is nothing but great reviews for this drill.

Now these are just 2 of the better cordless power drills available, both by Milwaukee.  You may also want to look into Makita though as they produce great units as well.
