This light, compact model is designed to fit into tight spaces and is powered by a 300 watt motor. This power is enough to complete many different tasks, making the drill a universal model for just about anything.

The transmission has two speeds – 450 and 1500 rpms. This gives it a wide range of drilling and fastening abilities. The sleeve is ½ inch in diameter and the chuck has decent grip strength.

The soft ergonomic handle allows you to hold the tool in a variety of positions and use it for drilling in confined spaces. The handle’s width is just 1.9 inches. The model itself weighs a little less than 4 pounds.

The battery’s voltage is 18 volts at strength of 1.3 amperes.

The model arrives with two batteries

Pros:

• The very bright LED light assists in work, especially in dark, tight spaces
• The model arrives with two batteries, so you can swap them easily
• The power is plenty enough for any purpose

Cons:

• The battery charger sometimes glitches and does not charge fully

This model is powerful enough to drill through wood, plastic and even metals. The soft handle makes the grip much better and assists with holding the drill at unusual angles. The battery is especially good – it holds a charge for up to a year and a half. The model comes with 30 different accessories, among which you will find drill bits, screw bits and nut drives.

The model is shipped with one battery that gives 20 volts. The model has one speed – 650 RPMs, and that is just enough for most screwing and drilling jobs.

Pros:

• Excellent battery life – lasts a very long time, even when doing heavy work
• Very powerful torque – much better than most drills of this size
• Very light and easy to control while working

Cons:

• Arrives with only one battery

This model comes with an assortment of accessories – two batteries, a carry bag, an assortment of bits and heads and a charger. The drill itself is extremely small and easy to handle. It is meant to be used in small, confined spaces. That makes it a great drill for people who have to work between walls, like plumbers or electricians.

The model has surprisingly high torque and can even drill through metal. However it is more commonly used on drywall or wood. The model has two speeds – 350 and 1300 RPM. The torque can be manually adjusted.

The 12 volt battery provides enough power for most jobs, and as there are two batteries, you can work for extended amounts of time.

The drill trigger allows for precise control of speed and torque.  The LEDs on the drill’s body allow you to light up places where you have to work in the dark. This, again, increases the drill’s usefulness for plumbers and electricians

Pros:

• Arrives with a full set of drill bits and two batteries
• The compact size and ergonomic grip make the drill best for working in tight spaces
• Perfect control over the grip, torque and speed

Cons:

• Hard to get the battery out

The brand is well known for their everlasting batteries that are guaranteed to keep their full power for over 1000 cycles. The battery also does not have memory effect, meaning it will always have the same maximum amount of electricity stored.

This drill can also function as an impact drill. It has a high torque of 330 in/lb and this allows it to easily cut through wood, metal and plastic. Nonetheless, it weighs only 2.2 pounds, so it will not make you tired. The built in LED allows easy work in spaces with low light.

The drill ships with a 46-piece set of bits. Everything comes in a comfortable carry bag. Also a battery and a charger are shipped.

Pros:

• The battery – it lasts a long time and also does not have memory effect

The model has 15 torque settings, the highest of which can cut through a steel plate 1 cm thick.

The ergonomic handle and overall shape of the drill allows the user to work without fatigue. Most tasks with this drill are very easy, and the rubberized handle nullifies most vibration.

The speed is variable – from 0 to 550 RPMs. The electric brake allows the drill to stop immediately.

10 drill bits and 10 drivers come with the drill.

Pros:

• Very affordable, considering that it comes with a box of bits and drivers
• Moderately powerful, and good enough for any purpose.
• Very light and easy to maneuver

Cons:

This drill has three operating modes – drilling, hammer drilling and hammering. The trigger allows you to manually adjust the speed.

The D-guard handle gives optimal control over the drill and allows excellent maneuverability. The drill is especially good for drilling on the floor and ceiling. The Vario positioning lock allows you to fix the bit in any of the 36 positions, so it will have a good chiseling position.

The drill also has a reverse function, which allows quick removal of screws or bit starting.  The motor can accelerate up to 1300 RPMs and give out 5800 impacts per minute.

The hammer has an impulse of 2 foot pounds, which is plenty for quickly destroying concrete.

Pros:

• Powerful impact – can easily break most materials like concrete or brick
• Excellent control over drill with ergonomic handle and comfortable trigger.
• Not too expensive for a Bosch drill

Cons:

The drill arrives with a powerful Red Lithium battery that is immune to the memory effect and delivers more power for its size.

The motor can go at great speeds up to 2000 RPMs. The drill, with a length of less than 7 inches, is one of the most compact in its class. This improves its capabilities in confined spaces.

Pros:

Pros:

• Very powerful motor – grinds through concrete easily
• Very sturdily built with great attention to quality
• The brushless motor does not overheat and uses the battery more sparingly
