Cordless Drills Review - Auto Express
Auto Express have published their review of seven cordless drills. 'Until recently, cordless drills have lagged behind mains versions in two areas: torque and maximum speed under load. To test low-down grunt, each tool had to drive a screw into a series of ever-smaller holes in a steel plate until it could turn no more. For the speed test, we attached a polishing pad and used the drills on an old scrap panel, deliberately pressing hard to see how they coped. We also tested battery life, while features such as multi speeds, a hammer action, spare batteries, a fast charger, decent cases and a large chuck earned extra points.
Draper’s 40765 is a brilliant package that’s ideal for frequent DIY use. Its sub-£50 price clinches it the top spot. Hot on its heels is Site’s Drill/Driver. It slightly outperforms the winner, but costs more and doesn’t have a hammer function. Draper’s capable 41426 is third. It’s the priciest tool here, but you’d easily pay double for the same performance from a professional drill.'
