Assembly model: TOP 5 professional cordless drills

 

Low cost, premium build quality, high reliability, two batteries included.

 

 

Low power, weak battery.

 

The instrument of the Japanese company Makita is very popular among craftsmen due to the excellent price-quality ratio. And the 6271DWAE model is no exception here, carrying the best qualities of the brand.

The Makita 6271DWAE drill-screwdriver has decent characteristics and is considered one of the best in the average price range. Designed more for household use: perfect for assembling furniture, drilling small holes in chipboard, wood, plastic and even metal.

It is characterized by ease of control, the presence of reverse and two-position adjustment of the cartridge rotation speed using the trigger.

The all-metal gearbox increases the service life of the unit. A quick-release chuck, a rubberized handle and a light weight ensure ease of use, and the case in the kit makes it easier to carry. The tool is light, well balanced and fits comfortably in the hand.

The battery holds a charge for up to 45 minutes of continuous operation. The second battery allows you to eliminate downtime due to the need for recharging.

The model looks good against the background of competitors, although it does not reach the best samples in some characteristics. In general, the Makita 6271DWAE is able to become a reliable assistant in the household and in a small furniture production. But, as practice shows, it is more useful as a screwdriver than a drill, since a small power somewhat limits the possibilities of using this tool.

The German manufacturer AEG is considered one of the world leaders in the electrical engineering market for a reason. The BS 12G2 LI cordless drill-screwdriver has excellent operational qualities and characteristics.

Its design has been well tested by time on the BS 12G2 NC-142C model, from which it differs only by a lithium battery. The metal gears of the gearbox guarantee the duration of operation. No less impressive: a quick-release chuck, two rotation speeds and a wide range of torque adjustments. There are as many as 24 of them, which is rare even among much more expensive competitors. The cartridge is made by a separate unit, which makes its replacement simple and convenient. In addition, it is able to clamp even the thinnest drill bit.

Compact, lightweight, and virtually trouble-free screwdriver can be used by both men and women. During operation, the vibration of the bit is practically absent. It is not difficult to screw in even a long screw with the help of AEG BS 12G2 LI. The screwdriver is very comfortable in your hand and looks good, and the reverse and speed switches do not jam. The price is quite competitive compared to more expensive analogues.

The battery holds its charge well and charges quickly. The presence of a second battery in the kit eliminates unnecessary costs and allows you to carry out long-term work, both indoors and outdoors without downtime for charging.

The presence of reverse and backlight are an additional bonus.

AEG BS 12G2 LI is a good universal tool. Despite the fact that it is assembled in China, it is a screwdriver with German quality, recommended by craftsmen who know a lot about good tools. It will be useful in any work, starting from the installation of drywall and ending with the roof of roofs.

 

High speed and torque, shock mode, powerful removable battery, built-in backlight, light weight, case included.

 

 

A considerable price, plastic locks in the case.

 

Bosch is Bosch. The German brand has always been and remains synonymous with reliability and performance. Despite its compact size, the GSB 14.4-2-LI Plus model has a characteristic durability, thanks to the quality of the electric filling.

Bosch GSB 14.4-2-LI Plus deservedly tops many ratings. The tool is designed for drilling not only metal or wood, but even concrete, which unconditionally brings it to the leaders of professional hand tools. As practice shows, with an average operating load, the model is easily able to work for 5-6 years until complete wear and tear.

The advanced functionality of the tool makes it indispensable in any work. Quick–release chuck, shock mode, engine brake with electronic EMP protection (against electromagnetic pulses), reverse and backlight — these are just a short list of "smart" assistants that make working with GSB 14.4-2-LI Plus simple and convenient.

Two speed modes with a head are enough to tighten screws and screws up to 120 mm long. A large diameter drill bit enters metal and wood like oil. 16 twisting force adjustment modes allow you to choose the optimal one for any situation. The LED backlight makes it possible to work in complete darkness. Two powerful lithium batteries further simplify this work. The battery is protected by a proprietary ECP (Electronic Cell Protection) system and charges quickly.

The power of Bosch GSB 14.4-2-LI Plus is enough to create holes in wood with a diameter of up to 30 mm, and in metal and concrete, including load-bearing structures, up to 10 mm. Given the compactness and relatively light weight of the screwdriver, this is an advantage. The kit includes a convenient plastic case that protects the tool from dust and mechanical damage, but has a small drawback of its own – plastic locks that break over time, unable to withstand the frequency of openings/closures.

 

High power, reliability and durability of the design, ergonomics and ease of use, spare battery, charge indicator, case.

 

 

High price, low battery life, low quality of the case material.

The German professional brand Metabo has been present on the power tool market for over 90 years and is well known in the construction environment. The Metabo BS 14.4 LT Compact drill-screwdriver is a universal tool that can handle construction work of any complexity.

BS 14.4 LT Compact is a compact version of the Metabo BS 14.4 LT with smaller batteries, but with the same functionality. The unit is focused on intensive use. The design uses a long-lasting 4-pole motor and a highly efficient gearbox with twenty torque adjustments.

Thanks to proven proprietary solutions, the tool provides the best ratio of weight, performance and ergonomics in the class of professional screwdrivers. It is beautiful and comfortable, it is pleasant to hold in your hands. The case is assembled soundly, the battery snaps securely. In a special hole, you can store equipment, the change of which, thanks to the quick-release cartridge, is carried out in two steps.

High torque and rotation speed guarantee high performance. The metal chuck holds the bat securely, eliminating backlash and vibration. The reverse works like a clock. Metabo BS 14.4 LT Compact is an excellent choice of craftsmen who love, appreciate and understand the subtleties of a high-quality tool. When falling even from a metre height, the case made of high-quality plastic does not crack.

The built-in illumination of the screwdriver makes it possible to work in low light. This is very convenient, because in this case there is no need to use additional lighting sources, such as a headlamp or a hand lamp, which, one way or another, do not allow you to focus entirely on working with a screwdriver.

The time to fully charge the battery does not exceed thirty minutes. And the presence of a second battery in the kit excludes easy operation. However, fast charging also indicates rapid discharge, which means faster battery wear, and as confirmed by the reviews of many masters — this is perhaps the only weak point of this screwdriver.

In general, Metabo BS 14.4 LT Compact is recommended for regular intensive use, so its resource is quite high, about 4-5K hours of operation, which is about 5-6 years. What can not be said about the case that comes with the kit. Its quality leaves much to be desired.

The American company DeWalt produces power tools of the highest level. Both professional and household. The cordless drill-screwdriver DCD790D2 belongs to the first category. At the same time, in terms of characteristics and functionality, it occupies one of the first places in this class.

Lightweight, well-balanced, compact drill-screwdriver DeWalt DCD730C2 stands out from the general range of similar devices with high performance and ease of use. The engine brake and reverse, as well as other components and parts, work flawlessly. Efficient work with different materials is provided by a 14-position torque regulator and a two-speed all-metal gearbox.

The single-screw cartridge with automatic locking is designed for a large-diameter drill, which is fixed in it with an "iron" grip. No backlash, no beats even after turning on the reverse. The nozzles themselves are easily changed with one hand. As the masters say about DCD730C2, this beast will make a hole in anything. The maximum drilling diameter in wood is 35 mm, and in metal 13 mm!

The model is optimized for low light conditions. There is an integrated LED backlight on the bottom of the case, which turns off with a delay. The location of the diode, to put it mildly, is not the most optimal, so we'll just be glad that it is there.

Thanks to the removable battery with a charge indicator, created within the framework of the advanced innovative XR series, a long duration of operation is provided. In reality, the battery lasts for two days when working at medium intensity. And what is noteworthy, it does not pull until the last breath, but turns off almost immediately as soon as a drawdown in power from a low discharge is detected. This significantly prolongs the battery life.

In general, it should be noted that an extended 3-year warranty service can be obtained for any Dewahlt instrument, provided that the purchased model is registered on the Devolt service support website within 30 days from the purchase date specified in the warranty card.

The tool shows excellent stability in an upright position. User convenience is provided by a belt clip and a magnetic holder. The DeWalt DCD730C2 guarantees maximum capabilities, this is an excellent ratio of performance, ergonomics and durability. The only drawback of the DCD730C2, apart from the somewhat overpriced price, can be considered the lack of shock mode. Also, some may be upset by the internal layout of the compartments of the case. There is no bit compartment in it.
