Cordless drills are the only thing separating us from those dark ages when our unenlightened ancestors had to, ugh, turn screws by hand.
Seriously, though, a good cordless drill can save you a ton of time and energy. Whether you’re someone who needs a good cordless drill for professional reasons or just someone who likes to tinker around the house, a cordless drill is an indispensable tool, and we’ve got the right one for you. Just read through, click on the one that best suits your needs, and put one of these best cordless drills in your hands.
BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Lithium Ion Drill/Driver
Whether you need to drill through wood, metal, plastic or just about any element you’d ever need to bore a hole through, this drill will get the job done. An 11-position clutch gives you exactly the control you need for whatever the job calls for. This is perhaps the most popular cordless drill out there, the perfect combination of quality and price, and all backed by that BLACK+DECKER name.

Cartman 20V Lithium Ion Cordless Drill/Driver
Featuring two speeds, and a 21-position clutch, about the only thing this drill doesn’t have going for it is a big brand name like BLACK+DECKER. That also means that you can get it for less than the similar BLACK+DECKER model. That’s a hell of a price/quality combo.

Tacklife 12V Lithium Ion Cordless Drill Driver Set
If you just need something to do all those pesky jobs around the house, you probably don’t need something super-powerful (and generally more expensive.) This 12V cordless drill from Tacklife is the perfect alternative, still featuring a 19-position clutch and even a light which makes it easy to work in the dark, or in those cramped places the lights just never seem to reach.

CACOOP 20V MAX Lithium Ion Drill/Driver

Anyone who’s ever had to fumble around with their drill in between uses can tell you what a valuable feature that is. It’s also lightweight. Add it all together and you have a great cordless drill designed for user ease and comfort.

WORKSITE 18V Cordless Electric Drill ScrewDriver
This relatively lightweight drill features a 16-position keyless clutch, but the real value lies in the accessories that come with this drill. A 29-piece set is supplemented by a 30-piece expansion screw-set along with a magnetic wrist strap that allows you to attach all these pieces to it without having to worry about lugging around a tool box. That’s a kickass bonus for an already pretty kickass drill.

BLACK+DECKER 9.6 Volt NiCad Drill/Driver
Lightweight and compact, this is a great drill if you just want something for small jobs around the house. It’s one of the most affordable drills out there, but it still carries that BLACK+DECKER name, and a 24-position clutch still gives you a lot of options when it comes to torque. A fantastic value.

VonHaus MAX 20V Cordless Impact Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit
Another great two-tool set, you get both an impact drill and an impact driver. The difference between that and “regular” drills/drivers is simply that the impact drills/drivers give you more power and torque for tougher jobs. This probably isn’t what you’re looking for if you’re just trying to hang some pictures or whatever. It is what you’re looking for if you’re, say, drilling into concrete. Yeah, it will do that for you.
