Cordless Impact Drill

Cordless impact or hammer driver drills are useful where mains power is inconvenient and the correct tool mode is available. Compare compact cordless drills by battery platform, chuck capacity, drilling and hammer-drilling settings, torque control and rated capacities for the intended material. A hammer driver drill is not automatically a substitute for a full-size rotary hammer.

Before buying a Makita, Powerhouse or other model, verify the exact voltage platform, included battery, charger and case, and whether the listing is for a bare tool. Use compatible bits and choose the manufacturer-approved drilling mode for wood, metal or masonry. Secure workpieces and check walls for concealed services.
