Cordless Drills
Cordless Drills, Drivers, and Right Angle Drills
Cordless drills bore holes and drive screws without a cord. This collection runs from pocket screwdrivers to heavy-duty right angle drills. Compact picks include the Milwaukee M12 FUEL Installation 5-in-1, DeWALT ATOMIC and XTREME 5-in-1 drills, and the Bosch Flexiclick, all with swappable heads. Standard drill/drivers come from Milwaukee M12 FUEL and M18 FUEL, Makita 18V LXT, DeWALT 20V MAX, Fein, and Festool. For plumbers and electricians, Milwaukee Hole Hawg and Super Hawg right angle drills with QUIK-LOK bore large holes through framing.
What to Look For
- Drill style. Inline drill/drivers handle general work. Right angle drills fit between studs and joists.
- Interchangeable heads. 5-in-1 systems swap chucks, offset heads, and right angle heads for cabinet and install work.
- Screwdrivers. The Milwaukee M12 screwdrivers and DeWALT 8V MAX gyroscopic screwdriver suit light assembly.
- Platform. 12V tools are lighter. 18V and 20V tools give more power for large bits.

Cordless Drills FAQ
Drill/driver or hammer drill?
A drill/driver handles wood, metal, and screws. A hammer drill adds a hammering action for masonry and concrete. If you rarely drill masonry, a drill/driver is lighter and enough. See hammer drills for the other option.
What is a Hole Hawg for?
Hole Hawg and Super Hawg are Milwaukee right angle drills built for boring big holes through studs and joists for pipe and wire. They are heavier than a drill/driver and made for rough-in work.
