16 best drills

When performing many work around the house, in the construction or furniture industry, the drill becomes an effective assistant. This electric device today is used for drilling holes in different materials, screwing / unscrewing hardware, mixing building mixtures. Each master requires a tool with a specific set of technical characteristics. When choosing, experts recommend to pay attention to the following parameters.

How to choose a drill

1. All drills can be divided into unstressed and shock. If the work does not have to deal with concrete or brick foundations, then we can restrict ourselves to unaccented models. When periodically it is necessary to drill hard materials (concrete, stone), then it is better to arm with a percussion instrument.
2. The performance of the drill depends on such qualities as motor power and torque. For domestic purposes, an apparatus with a power of up to 800 W is enough, and the torque can be around 20 N * m. In professional models, these parameters reach 1000 W and 50 N * m, respectively.
3. Do not chase for high performance, since it will increase proportionally weight and dimensions. And working at height with wood or plastic is more convenient than a compact and light machine.
4. The purpose of the drill affects the choice cartridge type. It is easy and convenient to change tooling in the keyless chuck, and a key clamping mechanism allows you to securely fix the drill bit. This is especially important when working with concrete or metal.
5. To comfortably perform a variety of operations, manufacturers equip drills with a number of useful options. it electronic speed control chuck, safety coupling, the ability to work in the drill stand.
6. When comparing several drills, models with a case, an additional handle, and a depth gauge look more advantageous.

1. appointment;
2. specifications;
3. price;
