Whether it’s for drilling, screwing, or hammering, the following cordless drills are among the best on the market currently for the job. Once we’ve explored each drill in particular, we’ll look at some key factors about cordless drills that you should consider before you purchase one.

Here are the best cordless drills of 2018:



Best Choice
DeWalt DCD777C2
The DeWalt 20V drill is one of the most popular drills in DeWalt’s arsenal. DeWalt itself is a popular utility company with a number of products big and small that are reliable and tough. The 20V brushless drill is no exception to that list of products.

It also has a small LED light to help you see where you’re drilling in low-light. It’s not the best light in the world because it shines at a large and dim angle, but it’s better than complete darkness.

This drill refers to itself as brushless. It’s not exactly the same brushless motor you see on a chainsaw or leaf blower, but it does cut down on inefficient energy use. As a result, the DeWalt has a longer operating time on a full charge than non-brushless drills. Of course, this also depends on how long and on what power setting you have the drill on.





Best Under $50
Black & Decker LDX120C
The Black & Decker 20V drill is another highly reviewed drill that combines power, reliability, and budget. The drill is equipped with an eleven position switch, allowing the user to drill comfortably into wood, plastic, and metal.

It only weighs around 3 lbs despite its size and power, so you won’t have to worry about fatigue and wear as you hold it in position. Like the DeWalt drill, it also has an LED light that turns on when you depress the trigger.

If you have other Black & Decker products that use 20V batteries, you can save yourself time and headaches by simply interchanging the batteries between the tools.





Ryobi P208
The Ryobi P208 is one of the best drills on the market if you’re on a really tight budget. It comes with 24 different socket positions, giving you a wide range to work with. The drill’s gearbox allows the P208 to maintain two different speed settings.

The P208 is also magnetic, so you can attach small objects or screws to it as you work. This feature will get done jobs faster and make them more efficient.

You’ll have to purchase the battery and charger separately, which will increase the total price to over a $100. However, this battery is also compatible with Ryobi’s One+ line of products.





Ridgid Fuego R86008
The Ridgid Fuego is a 24-position drill with 2 speeds and a firm texture grip for use in slippery conditions. The Fuego is a good overall drill that doesn’t try to add too many features for the sake of looking fancy.

A notable advantage the Fuego has over other drills is a detachable grip. Working with tough surfaces can make even the best drills rickety. An offhand rubber grip will make sure all of your power is focused on a specific screw. Like the Ryobi P208, you will have to purchase the battery and charger separately. This inevitably causes the price to jump quite a bit, but the low price of the drill itself keeps it to a minimum.

Despite the discrepancy with the battery and charger, the Fuego is still a great overall drill with a loyal and satisfied fan base. Best Makita Cordless Drills
