Auto Express have published their review of ten cordless drills. 'It's not quite a toolbox essential just yet, but a cordless drill can be a huge help, speeding up repairs and reducing the amount of effort required. Choosing the right one is probably the hardest part, as there are many factors to take into account: voltage, charge time, hammer action, speed and torque settings are only a few. Batteries are also a consideration, as Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) has been challenged by the lighter, user-friendly but more expensive Lithium Ion (Li-ion) power packs.'

A review of the Festool T15+3 Cordless Drill Set USA (product # 564 250) has been posted over at TalkFestool.com. 'This is the first tool to be released with Festool's new Systainer with the storage compartment in the lid. The compartment has a clear plastic lid, the two long dividers are fixed and the small ones a removable (nine removable dividers included). With the storage in the lid and inside there is a fair amount of space to keep bits and/or fasteners with the drill. Grab one Systainer and you're ready for to get to work, nice.'

One Project Closer have published a review of the Skil 18 Volt Lithium Ion Drill Driver. 'The SKIL driver boasts 400 in. lbs. of torque served up by an all metal geartrain. We had no trouble driving 2.5-inch #10 exterior galvanized screws through 2.5 inches of pressure treated wood without pre-drilling. The drill features a two-speed gearbox (high torque, for driving; high speed, for drilling) coupled to a variable-speed motor. The speed of the motor adjusts with the pressure on the trigger. Motor acceleration is even across the full range of the trigger pull, making it easy to control the speed of the drill with no jerky starts and stops.
