Rating of the best cordless screwdrivers 2021

Criterias of choice

Regardless of the purpose of the purchase - for professional or home work - it is worth paying attention to a number of technical aspects. Nevertheless, you need to choose first of all based on the tasks that the tool will help solve, and not on the “dry” characteristics.

Types of batteries. nickel-cadmium , nickel-metal hydride , and lithium-ion samples on sale

The first option is relatively inexpensive and can be charged and recharged approximately 1000 times. The weak point of the device is the memory effect: if you charge the battery until it is completely discharged, this will become the starting point - the screwdriver will discharge when the charge level is still 20% (for example).

You can get rid of the memory effect quite simply - completely discharge and charge the screwdriver 3-4 times.

Nickel-metal hydride devices were developed as a replacement for the previous version. They do not harm the environment when compared with the previous option. Their battery capacity is slightly larger, and the memory effect is reduced. In addition, these batteries weigh less. But there is a significant drawback - such samples can withstand only 300-400 charge cycles, and over time they begin to discharge much faster.

The lithium-ion version is a compact and lightweight device that charges quickly (about half an hour). Battery capacity is not lost over time and there is no memory effect. The disadvantage of the battery is that it cannot work in sub-zero temperatures (not a winter option at all). In addition, lithium batteries are not recommended to be kept in a discharged state for a long time. This will ruin them.

The nickel battery can operate for set cycles. That is, it does not matter how many years have passed - if the cycles are not used, then the battery will function. A lithium-ion device will stop working after 3-4 years in any case.

Power. The main parameter that is responsible for the amount of energy consumed by the tool. However, everything is not so obvious here, because it is pointless to take the most powerful screwdriver if there are no corresponding tasks. Excess energy will do nothing but increase costs. Apart from all this, power also indicates the size and weight of the device. Here there is a direct relationship between the number of watts, since the more there are, the higher the dimensions and volume. Consequently, the purchase of a large and powerful tool for household use is not justified in any way.

Torque and speed. The torque characteristic demonstrates the force according to which the screw is exerted. This parameter is important because torque is directly related to the materials that will be used during operation. So, in the case of home tools it is usually 15 Nm, and in the best highly specialized ones up to 100 Nm. To better understand the essence of how torque works, we can use impulses as an example. The screwdriver does not unscrew the screw in one movement, but does it gradually, using several small ones. However, this is imperceptible to the human eye, since the number of pulses can reach about 4,500 per minute. Regarding speed, we can only say that this is the very last parameter that is worth paying attention to. Regardless of it, screwing and unscrewing will still be faster than if it were done with a screwdriver. The only exception that can be identified is the use of a screwdriver as a drill. If its technical characteristics allow it, then thanks to the high speed you can drill more accurately, making the hole smoother.

Spindle lock. The most ambiguous parameter, which must be assessed individually each time. The average user won't win or lose by having this feature in their screwdriver. For example, thanks to the spindle lock, you can unscrew the far clutch, thereby freeing the jaws for the chuck. However, is this really necessary if everything can be done manually without blocking anything? One way or another, this function is often available in networked screwdrivers.

Switching speeds. The ability to change speed is relevant only in cases where there is a possibility that the tool will be used as a drill. This is especially true for metal, since when drilling it, speed plays a decisive role. The inability to increase the speed will simply ruin the material, since it will not be possible to drill an even hole.

Locking the start button. The function is relevant only in cases where it is possible to use a screwdriver as a drill and there is a special magazine used when working with tape. Thus, the lock acts both as a safety feature and as a function that allows you to drill longer, since you do not need to press the power button. However, you need to be aware that such a widespread use of a screwdriver is not included in the range of its basic tasks. All this has a bad effect on the duration of operation, so if you need to drill a lot, it is better to choose a drill. Experienced builders can choose a screwdriver based only on its shape, because they have a rough idea of what kind of “filling” it has and what kind of tasks it can perform.

Body shape. It is impossible to find out how to choose the right screwdriver if you do not pay attention to its body. In most cases, this is the first thing everyone pays attention to when purchasing. So, there are three forms in total:

Pistol . Often used in budget options, which are assembled from inexpensive materials. Therefore, the disadvantages are: rapid heating and the inability to use for a long time, as well as a handle that will not allow you to work for a long time in a static state.
T-shaped. Similar to a pistol, but the handle is shifted to the center. This position makes it possible to work longer with the device suspended. In addition, correct ergonomics gives the manufacturer the opportunity to increase power by placing a larger electric motor.
Drill. The tool is made in a classic drill shape, which gives the user the opportunity to hold the screwdriver with the second hand. In addition, this shape clearly indicates that all the force on the cartridge is transmitted through the gearbox. This has a positive effect on the rotation because it becomes smoother. Plus, in this position it is easier to regulate the rotation speed.

Type of cartridge. Everything is quite simple here. There are two types:

Quick-clamping . Its device assumes that the bat will be clamped with fists. They will have to be tightened using a coupling on the threaded connection.
With magnetic holder. This chuck has no moving parts, since the mounting base is a magnet designed to increase the speed of bit change. The solution is quite specific and rarely really needed. If the speed of changing the bit is indifferent, then it is recommended to purchase a screwdriver with a quick-release holder. It is the most common, making it the best option.

The best manufacturers of corded screwdrivers

How to choose a corded screwdriver based on the brand? Who can a person who wants to buy a screwdriver rely on? The best producers are:

Bort – German with an extended warranty;
Korner – Russian with high reliability;
Diold is a Russian with a wide range of capabilities;

Zubr and Interskol - Russians with high characteristics (bison zssh 300 3, interskol dsh 10 260e2);
Makita - Japanese, specializing in electrical engineering (makita ddf083z 40);
Wert is a Chinese product, characterized by simplicity and ergonomics.

Which brand of screwdriver should I buy?

Bosch. German technology, the excellent quality of which has been known to many generations. This is what allows Bosch to remain a market leader for decades. An excellent assortment and modern technologies are another advantage of the company.
DeWALT. An American brand, in no way inferior to its European competitor. Convenience, safety and versatility - all this is DeWALT.
Makita . Perhaps, manufacturers from Japan are the main alternative to the Germans if you value reliability and convenience. Makita pays special attention to the ergonomics of its devices. But this brand is mainly aimed at household work.
Black&Decker. Another company from the USA that hardly needs any introduction. The not-lowest price of Black&Decker products is fully compensated by its durability, functionality, autonomy and battery charging speed.
Interskol. Of course, we couldn’t ignore the Russian manufacturer. Interskol products combine ergonomics, quality and affordable cost, which allows them to remain one of the most popular not only in Russia, but also in the CIS.

The best inexpensive cordless screwdrivers

Makita DHP482Z

Professional screwdriver with built-in hammer drilling function (max. 28,500 bpm).
Equipped with a powerful two-speed motor and three operating modes. Operates on a Makita 18V LXT battery system. But the battery and charger are not included, which is a significant disadvantage.

Makita DF333DWYE

A simple, inexpensive, but reliable hammerless drill/driver will become an indispensable assistant in repairs or when assembling furniture yourself.
The universal diameter of the chuck allows the device to be used to work with different types of fasteners, and the high torque ensures quick fixation of the fastener. Additionally, the device has a separate drilling mode, with which the owner can quickly make a hole of the required diameter in wood or metal. The manufacturer also equipped the device with a reverse function. This is a very useful option, with which you can quickly remove a bit or screw stuck in the material. On the case, in addition to the power button, there is a special button with which you can smoothly adjust the rotation speed. Specifications:

Advantages

reliable proven manufacturer
excellent build quality at an affordable price
ergonomic handle with anti-slip pads
there is a reverse mode
Comes with two spare batteries

Flaws

not a very convenient case
Power is not enough for professional use

Interskol DA-18ER Home handyman

Two-speed gearbox and 18-volt batteries, but also electronic overload protection. We will not consider the set of drills, which were also placed in the case, as a serious advantage of Interskol - these drills are not of particularly high quality. True, you should take a closer look at the choice in the store. Pay attention to the cartridge - whether it is tightened well, whether the jaws are hitting. Interskol had problems with this. Alas, a budget is a budget. It’s also a pity that the manufacturer decided to equip this model with batteries for only one and a half ampere hours: this is not so much.

Advantages

Decent build
Accurate operation of the speed switch

Flaws

Low battery capacity
Strange lighting - it seems to be shining, but somehow in the wrong direction

VORTEX DA-18-2K

Powerful screwdriver with built-in hammerless drill.
Powered by NiCd batteries. Suitable for working with any type of base, thanks to a two-speed gearbox and reverse mode. Equipped with a quick-release chuck, which has an extended service life and allows you to instantly replace the equipment. For a secure grip, there is a rubberized insert on the handle. The tool is easy to use, and when working at heights, you can place the attachments in a special socket. Specifications:

Chuck diameter: 1-13 mm;

Advantages

lightweight and compact design
torque adjustment
smooth gear shifting
long lasting cartridge
good power

Flaws

poor quality batteries
severe overheating
short-term charging

BLACK+DECKER BDCDC18K

Well assembled and sitting comfortably in the hand, Black+Decker could have counted on an excellent rating for the best drill-drivers, but, alas, it was let down by the single-speed gearbox: it is good as a screwdriver, and the torque of 30 N*m is quite decent, but... drilling them is already worse. In addition, it is worth considering that there is no second battery included, so the price gap with other models is actually smaller than it seems. But in terms of ease of use, it is ready to give a head start - the ergonomics are up to par.

Advantages

Fully rubberized handle
Quality of fit and assembly of parts

Flaws

Only one battery included
Charging is quite slow for a lithium-ion battery

The best premium cordless screwdrivers

BOSCH GSR 18V-60 FC 5.0Ah x2 L-BOXX

Users who have already evaluated this screwdriver with a drilling function in practice note maximum ease of use and advanced functionality.
The device is equipped with several adjustable attachments with the Bosch FlexiClick system, which allow you to carry out almost any repair, installation or furniture assembly work. The attachments themselves are also extremely easy to use: their position can be adjusted depending on the type of work without removing the attachment itself from the screwdriver. The device comes complete with a modern charger and two replaceable batteries. A metal adapter for the cartridge and detailed user instructions are also provided. Another feature of the model is its increased power, which allows you to drill holes even in brick and concrete, so this professional-level tool can be used instead of a hammer drill. Specifications:

Idle speed: 1900 rpm;

Maximum drilling diameter: (wood/metal) 38/13 mm;

Battery capacity: 5 Ah.

Advantages

Compact body allows you to work in confined spaces
the engine automatically switches off when the equipment jams
Convenient to change attachments
can be used instead of a hammer drill
Reliable, wear-resistant brushless motor

Flaws

Not very high quality plastic bit holder included
high price

Metabo SB 18 LTX BL QI

A special feature of the screwdriver is the absence of a conventional torque limiter ring behind the chuck. There is no mechanical clutch itself - torque adjustment is electronic, using a wheel at the bottom of the handle. Fully electronic engine control also made it possible to implement a pulse mode (the maximum torque in it is 60 N*m), activated by the same wheel. The absence of a mechanical clutch is a serious plus for reliability, and at the same time for saving energy, because here, when the torque is limited, the power supplied to the engine is directly reduced, unlike conventional screwdrivers, where the power when the “trigger” is fully pressed is always maximum, even if set the clutch to minimum torque. The spindle seat allows the use of a large number of original and compatible equipment - bits directly into the spindle socket, and keyless and hammer chucks, angle chucks, gearboxes for increasing torque like Metabo PowerX3 - already on the spindle, with fixation on a 43 mm neck if necessary. It’s not in vain that we reminded you about hammer drill cartridges - there is also a shock mode. So, although the drill-driver is not cheap, it justifies its price with its functionality, power, and basic ease of use.

Advantages

Fully electronic engine control, minimum wear-and-tear mechanics
The presence of a pulse mode for unscrewing and impact drilling
Economical battery consumption
Standardized batteries
Multifunctionality
Ergonomics

Flaws

Price
And at the same time, the warranty without registration on the manufacturer’s website is only 1 year

DeWALT DCD996P2

The standard keyless chuck is equipped with a lock, automatically brakes when the trigger is released and is capable of clamping drills with a diameter of up to 13 mm. Well, everything is as befits a professional instrument. The complete 5 Amp-Hour XR Series batteries feature built-in charge indicators and charge quickly using the included universal charger that can work with all DeWALT 18, 14.4 and 10.8 volt batteries. In a word, both the instrument and the equipment are good. But we can’t help but mention that quite often the batteries on the contact pad have excessive play and may require minor modifications. It seems like a small thing, but for the declared class it’s unpleasant.

Advantages

Three-stage gearbox with impact clutch
Brushless motor
Comfortable grip and good weight distribution
Backlight with three brightness options and “Lantern” mode (temporary increased brightness)

Flaws

Controversial design of the contact platform on the handle

Makita DDF481RTE Li-Ion 5 Ah 18 V x 2 case

When this drill-driver first appeared on the market, it created a real sensation, because it can replace two devices at once: a conventional drill and a screwdriver.
The tool is intended for professional use as it is equipped with a brushless motor. It extends the life of the tool and does not require special maintenance. The body is made of durable but lightweight plastic. Additionally, it provides protection from dust and moisture, so the tool can be safely used in difficult conditions. At the same time, the tool itself is quite light and compact, suitable for one-handed operation or use in limited space. Since the device runs on a removable battery, the manufacturer has placed a charge level indicator on the case, which will notify the user when recharging is necessary. Specifications:

Idle speed: 2100 rpm;

Battery capacity of cordless screwdriver: 5 Ah;

Maximum drilling diameter (wood/metal): 76/13 mm.

Advantages

affordable price, as for a professional-level tool
Comes with two batteries
suitable for long-term continuous operation due to brushless motor
reliable and wear-resistant metal gearbox
high-quality European assembly

Flaws

unreliable fastening of the stop handle
many users found the tool too heavy

Metabo BS 18 LTX Impuls 2013 4.0Ah x2 Case

This drill/driver model is one of the most reliable and productive on the modern market.
In fact, this device is an improved modification of previous versions. After the update, the tool received a more efficient engine and an updated gearbox, thanks to which the torque of the tool became much higher. In practice, this means that the device will successfully cope with drilling holes or screwing fittings into materials of any density. The tool has a pulse mode, with which the user can easily tighten complex self-tapping screws or screws with licked heads. Users also highly appreciated the quality of the aluminum gearbox. It is resistant to mechanical damage, is not damaged by accidental falls, and effectively removes heat, preventing engine overheating. Specifications:

Idle speed: 1700 rpm;

Battery capacity: 4 Ah;

Maximum drilling diameter (wood/metal): 65/13 mm.

Advantages

universal charging and two replaceable batteries included

The best cordless screwdrivers in terms of price/quality ratio

Makita DHP481RTE

A true all-rounder, this drill/driver also features an impact clutch, so there's always a job for it. The maximum torque here is no less than 115 Newton meters. And, if you need a really high-torque screwdriver, then Makita will be just in the right place. Considering the amount of torque, a powerful side handle, worthy of another mixer, is exactly in place here. The disadvantages of this model are definitely the dimensions and weight - if you are looking for a tool that is convenient for working with one hand, the Makita will be too heavy, and it will be difficult for it to get into “narrow” places. But where good torque is needed, it is enough to switch the gearbox to first speed and start working.

Advantages

Excellent torque
Brushless motor
Overheat indication

Flaws

Dimensions and weight
There is not enough third speed in the gearbox

Metabo BS 18 L Quick 2.0Ah x2

The maximum torque here is only 50 Newton meters. However, for most cases of using a screwdriver, this will be enough with a reserve, but we have in our hands the screwdriver itself, a case, a charger, and two batteries. True, the batteries are small - two ampere-hours, which is a plus for ease of operation, but for autonomy, heavier “fives” would be useful. Nevertheless, the cordless drill-driver turned out to be successful - it fits in the hand, and the chuck is of high quality, but with bits you don’t have to use it at all: the hexagonal socket is made in the spindle itself.

Advantages

Ergonomics
Good equipment
Quick bit change

Flaws

Small capacity of complete batteries

BOSCH GSB 180-LI

Not the cheapest screwdriver, but its cost is fully justified by its advanced functionality, excellent build quality and ease of use.

The best cordless screwdrivers in the mid-range segment

DeWALT DCD791P2

The cartridge is located almost at the fist, together with the complete 5 ampere-hour battery, the screwdriver weighs only 1.7 kg, and at the same time the maximum torque is all 70 newton meters. A brushless motor is also used here, but with less power - 460 W. The battery fastening – there is some play in it, this can already be considered a proprietary feature of DeWALT cordless screwdrivers.

Advantages

Compact dimensions yet excellent torque
Metal gear housing
Good autonomy

Flaws

Same battery mount

BOSCH GSR 12V-15 FC

In the all-in-one package, the 12-volt screwdriver is packaged in an L-BOXX case with two 2 Ah batteries, a keyless drill chuck, an angle attachment and a bit holder (even though the bits can be installed directly into the socket on the spindle). It will be possible to purchase an eccentric that will allow you to tighten self-tapping screws when assembling furniture in the very corner near the wall. If you already have a 10.8-volt Bosch tool, the screwdriver can also use batteries of this type. Together with the battery, the screwdriver weighs only 600 grams, is very compact and agile - but at the first speed of the gearbox it produces 30 Newton meters, which is quite decent for a “compact”. This solution will be interesting, for example, in a workshop - you can move from drilling to assembly as quickly as possible, simply by replacing the chuck with a drill with a bit holder with a bit of the required size installed in it. Except that precise drilling with small diameters will be inconvenient due to the fact that the chuck in the mount has a little play: an inevitable price to pay for quick release. There is only one complaint about ergonomics, but it is inevitable - in an effort to make the screwdriver as compact as possible, Bosch engineers made the torque limiting ratchet disc short and not particularly grippy. But when literally millimeters make the difference in a job, and you simply can’t fit in with a larger screwdriver, you can even accept it with joy.

Advantages

Quick change of various accessories (and if you wish, you can also buy a “naked” screwdriver without it)
Compact and “everything”
Comfortable grip
Availability of high-capacity batteries in this standard size from the manufacturer

Flaws
