Cordless power drills are used by just about every household in America and for good reason, you don't have to drag a cord around everywhere you go. Lot's of homeowners would rather pay more money for a cordless, not drag cords around all day and suffer from a lack of torgue and power.

Corded drills are lighter, less money and you never have to charge or change a battery, yet everyone wants cordless power drills. I'm in the same boat.

However, we do own a corded drill for those occasions when we need power to get the job done. The new cordless drills now come with a lithium ion battery that holds a charge longer, lasts longer but they still only last around 4 years. Much better than the nicad batteries of yester year.

When looking for the best cordless drills make sure you take into consideration these factors:

size and weight of drill

speed variables (get at least two speeds, one for drilling and one for screwing)

start calling your new cordless drill a disposable cordless drill, because replacement batteries are only a few dollars than a brand new drill.

weekend warriors shouldn't pay more than $100 for a cordless drill, most brands have something in that price range

Speaking brand names, you might be asking me which one is the best:

Bosch or DeWalt Cordless Drills

Makita or Hitachi Cordless Drills

Kawasaki or Metabo Cordless Drills

Skil or Porter Cable Cordless Drills

Ridgid or Milwaukee Cordless Drills

My answer is always going to be the same:

The Best Cordless Drills are always going to be priced in your range and the one that makes you happy. If you follow the golden rule of Disposable Cordless Drills, then it wont' matter much. Sure you can purchase a few extra lithium ion batteries but a cordless drill will never last as long as a corded drill.

Keep in mind you can either purchase a cordless drill in 3/8 or 1/2 inch models. Just that is basically the chuck size but 1/2 models will have more power. For weekend warriors the 3/8 inch drill is best if you can find it in variable speeds. Variable speed cordless drills are extremely important because you don't want to have a single speed drill while trying to drill screws, it goes to fast.

My two top picks would be either the Makita or the Hitachi. Now if you are a contractor and you need power and durability then I would recommend the DeWalts. We use this on our construction jobs, I've dropped the darn thing off the roof and it still works.
