Hello, I'm Edwin. So it's a cordless drill. Let me know what the first job for it will be, and we'll look at what fits from there.
Choosing a cordless drill: the battery system decides
With cordless tools you do not buy a device, you buy a system. Batteries and charger make up the larger part of the cost over the years, and they are not interchangeable between brands. Edwin is an AI advisor and asks first what you already have.
- Existing batteries of one brand are a strong argument for staying with it — they only fit within their own system.
- For flat-pack furniture and light work, a compact tool is enough. Only masonry and large screws demand more torque.
- A hammer drill is not an impact driver: one drills into stone, the other drives large screws.
- Battery capacity in amp-hours sets runtime, not power. Two smaller batteries are often more practical than one very large one.
How much torque do I need?
For furniture, shelves and plasterboard, very little. Timber work, large screws and masonry ask for the higher figures — and there you usually need a different class of tool anyway.
Are batteries interchangeable between brands?
As a rule, no. That makes the system choice more permanent than the tool choice — it binds every future tool as well.
