Everyone should agree with me when I say that a cordless drill is among the most important tools. It is crucial tool if you want to complete any kind of home-improvement project at home by yourself. No matter what you do, drills are always a useful thing to have.
So basically, after you've decided that you want to buy one, you should go to Walmart, Home Depot, Sears... However, when you get there, you'll notice that there are so many different cordless drills that impossible to choose the best one for you. In this article I'll go through few important specifications and explain each of them a little bit better.
Lithium Drills
First of all - size and weight. During past few years, size and weight of a regular cordless drill has reduced significantly. However, because of the new technologies being used, the performances remained the same.
Second important specification are torque and power. Torque is some kind of rotational force. Depending on what you want to do with you drill, you should decide on how much inch/lbs you need. If you need drill for minor home tasks, then 180 inch/lbs is enough. For bigger and more difficult tasks like remodeling and home construction use 320 incl/lbs. That should be enough. Torque numbers are always written on the manual. If not, visit manufacturer's website for additional information.
Speed is also important factor. Today, I would highly recommend you not to buy cordless drill without variable speed. with variable speed you can manually adjust the RPM of you drill in order to use it on either soft (lower speeds) or hard (higher speed) materials.
And lastly, batteries are also important. Old drills use Nickel-Cadmium batteries. However, those batteries are being replaced now by Lithium-Ion ones. Those batteries last few time longer and also have shorter recharging time. All in all, they are much more efficient.

Ready for all materials from wood to metal, the compact yet powerful Bosch DDS180-02 Compact Tough 18-volt lithium-ion 1/2-inch drill/driver's 7-inch head length is the smallest in its class, yet it delivers top heavy-duty drilling performance. It works with all Bosch 18-volt lithium-ion batteries, and this kit includes two 1.3 Ah Slim Pack batteries to help keep things light.
Fast Speeds, High Torque, and Durable Construction
The DDS180-02 is optimized to worke at two speeds--one for high-torque applications (0-500 RPM) and one for high-speed applications (1,700 RPM)--and it provides a maximum of 600 inch-pounds of torque. The 4-pole open-frame motor and newly developed gearbox provide exceptional power for such a compact drill/driver. The 18+1 clutch settings included in this Compact Tough model and a variable-speed trigger help you match the best speed to the job, so you can achieve precise results. It can drive 500 screws per charge using the BAT619G 3.0 Ah HC battery (not included).
Balanced Design and Easy Bit Changes
This drill/driver's Durashield housing is constructed with ABS/nylon composite, which makes the housing flexible on impact. Unlike competitive tools, which use a conventional plastic housing, Durashield will not crack and can easily withstand 10-foot drops.
The ergonomically designed handle and soft-grip wrapped housing offer a comfortable fit for extended working time. The DDS180-02 comes complete with a single-sleeve 1/2-inch auto-lock chuck for one-handed bit changes, as well as increased drill-bit capacity for versatility. And for even greater convenience, LEDs provide illumination when you are working in dark or enclosed areas.
Flexible Power System
Like all tools in Bosch's 18-volt line, this drill/driver can be used with either a 1.3 Ah Slim Pack battery (model BAT609), a 2.6-Ah Fat Pack battery (model BAT618), or a 3.0 Ah Fat Pack HC batter (model BAT619G). If you're looking for a lightweight option, the Slim Pack is the perfect choice. If longer runtime is what you need, the Fat Pack will do the job.
ProVantage GuaranteeThe DDS180-02 comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years. |
