Basics
- This page aims to organize+investigate the current Industry Standards in terms of Cordless Drills
- Impact Drivers , Hammerdrills and Rotary Hammerdrills / SDS Drills are somewhat related as well
Thoughts by User: Eric
- For the most part (at least here in the North American market) :
- Ryobi is a good budget option, that is getting a BIT into the Pro-Sumer Market
- Dewalt and Milwaukee Tool are the best of the best, and while one may top the other in terms lf the spec depending on the year, both are great options
- One thing to note is that if going for that preformance though, be sure to get their “pro” models such as the “Milwaukee Fuel” linup, or the “Dewalt XR” lineup
- When in doubt, check the model number
- ESPECIALLY combo deals/sales at home depot and whatnot they sometimes try and get sneaky on you

- Battery Versions/Performance is another thing
- Some batteries have more Specific Power than others, and despite the standard “matching”, some tools need a high Amp capable battery and will lock up on smaller batteries
- Inversely, some smaller tools cannot fit larger batteries past hand grips or dust bags etc

- TorqueTestChannel (YouTube Channel)
- Originally just did Impact Wrench tests (hence the name), but have recently forked out to other devices as well
- Project Farm (YouTube Channel)
- While sometimes not PERFECTLY scientific, they make up for it in thoroughness/lack of sponsorship bias
- Also their latest videos have benefitted from more funds for proper sensors etc

- VCG Construction (YouTube Channel)
- The occasional clickbaity title, but their tests are good, and they also have some of the PROFESSIONAL “long term use” type reviews/know how, which can be of use
- IE tool works great on a test bench, but too heavy/not ergonomic in the field, or something that SEEMS niche but actually is helpful when you need it etc
