How To Select The Right Cordless Drill

Whether you are a professional contractor or a homeowner who does work around the home, owning a dependable cordless drill is necessary. The best attribute a cordless drill has is convenience. Buying one however can be a challenge with so many brands and models available. The following will cover what you should look for in a cordless drill.

The battery life is important to consider. The cordless drills nowadays stay powered by batteries longer than ever. High-capacity batteries, such as the Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), have recently come on to the scene and have shown to be up to 50% better than Nickel Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) batteries. And because they have no mercury or cadmium, these batteries are more environmentally friendly.

Smart chargers are now included with the newer cordless drills. A battery can now be charged in under an hour with these chargers. What they essentially do is force the charge, even if the drill has been used heavily and the battery is still hot. The charger has a microchip that will indicate the charge is complete, and therefore keep the battery from getting too hot and ultimately increase its charge.

The brand Milwaukee drills now offers a V28 Lithium Ion cordless drill. When compared to most 18 volt models, this one provides an increase of 50% power and it also holds a charge for twice as long. What's even more amazing is that the weight of the battery is less than many other models with less power.

Makita is another brand that has an excellent reputation and is one of the most popular ones out there. Their designs are what separate them from others. They have ones that have not been released that look like something from another world. Makita also has what they call Hybrid cordless drills, which utilize both lithium-ion and nickel cadmium batteries.

So if you are looking for a cordless drill, there is a lot to consider. It's easy to overlook how much a drill weighs, or whether it will be too big to fit into tight spots. Another less overlooked factor is price, and cordless drills are more expensive than ones with cords.
