“Lullaby” for a neighbor: presenting the “hit parade” of the best household drills in 2021

The drill is one of the most ancient tools created by man. Even the stone axes and scrapers of our ancestors already had round holes drilled in the base for connection to the handle. The first drills worked on muscle power and looked like a rod with a special thread. The masters of Ancient Egypt already had in their arsenal more advanced drilling tools - bow drills and rotary hammers. Is it any wonder that with the advent of electricity and the development of engineering, drills began to differ even more from their predecessors in their quality and technical characteristics and took pride of place in almost every home. Let's explore the market for these popular tools and find out which drill to choose for your home, together with a FAN journalist.

What can you do at home with a drill and how is it different from a hammer drill and a screwdriver?

It is not without reason that the drill has the reputation of being the best-selling household appliance, because with its help you can do many useful things around the house. For example, repairing furniture, drilling holes in the wall for shelves, lamps, paintings, screwing fasteners, cutting threads, sanding surfaces. Some brands offer special attachments for drills, thanks to which the drill can be used as a jigsaw, plane, or router. Not a single apartment or country house renovation is complete without the participation of such a multifunctional tool. Drilling is necessary for installation and carpentry work. The main purpose of a drill is to make indentations or holes in various surfaces.

When comparing a drill with a screwdriver, it should be noted that the drill has a more powerful engine compared to this tool, as well as a larger body. The drill can handle harder material and the holes will be larger. As for the “drill-hammer” pair, it is the hammer drill that will be more powerful, although some drill models allow you to work with durable concrete and are also endowed with some “hammer” functions. In addition, so-called “impact drills” are very popular on the tool market today; however, no matter how hard you want, such a drill cannot completely replace a rotary hammer. The impact mechanism of a hammer drill has a more massive striker that creates a push, while in a drill this mechanism is a pair of ratcheting gears, one of which moves along the axis back and forth and creates an impact force. For drilling particularly durable surfaces for a long time, it is better to use a hammer drill.

What types of drills are there?

The classifications of drills are not as simple as they might seem. First of all, this instrument can be of “professional” and “amateur” classes. They differ in the complexity of the functions they perform and, most importantly, in their power. You need to keep this in mind, since a powerful tool requires appropriate energy consumption and special care. Therefore, if you are not going to work with a drill around the clock on an industrial scale, then your choice is obvious - a drill for home use. A reliable household option that you will use not 6 hours a day, but approximately 5-6 hours a year.

Household drills are the younger brothers of professional tools; they appeared much later than their “relatives”. The drills that were used in production shops were first powered by steam engines, and later acquired electric motors. At the end of the 19th century, the prototype of a modern compact “drilling machine” was created from a fairly strong wear-resistant material. Since then, well-known world brands have been competing with each other, bringing to the market more and more ergonomic, powerful and functional drills.

Let's take a closer look at the difference between drills with combined functions, such as a drill-screwdriver, a drill-hammer, a drill-mixer, an angle drill for hard-to-reach places, and a diamond drill.

A drill-driver is indispensable for both drilling and working with fasteners. Tool settings allow you to work with wood, sheet metal, drywall and plastic. A drill with hammer drill functions can move back and forth, punching holes into the surface of the material. Such a drill will cope with very hard material, but will not completely replace a hammer drill due to its technical features. A hammer drill has a shorter drill stroke than a rotary hammer and the impact energy is somewhat less. A drill mixer is capable of not only creating holes, but also mixing dry construction mixtures, thanks to its high torque, so such an assistant is indispensable for complete repairs. The design of the angle drill body together with the “gearbox” allows the torque to operate at an angle of 30 and 90 degrees relative to the main axis. The household version of such a drill is often used when assembling furniture or laying baseboards.

A diamond drill in its characteristics approaches the professional class. It has a nozzle with which you can make large-diameter holes, take concrete and asphalt samples, and lay engineering structures - for example, cable ducts and drainage.

Impact and non-impact drill models differ from each other in the presence of an impact function. The impact drill is equipped with a special impact mechanism that allows you to move forward and backward. This feature makes the drill more powerful and suitable for working on concrete and stone surfaces. If necessary, it can be turned off, and then the drill can be used to drill more common materials - wood, MDF, plastic. Impact models are appreciated by customers and are in considerable demand. The spindle of such drills is designed for heavy loads and is somewhat inferior to hammerless drills only in drilling accuracy. In other words, a hammerless drill is more controllable and drills holes more accurately.

What characteristics are important when choosing a drill for your home?

When choosing a drill for your home, you need to have a good idea of ​​its scope of application. How and for what will you use your tool? Let's go through the main characteristics of drills:

Power. Conventional household models have a power of 500-800 W, which is quite enough for home repairs. The list of works, the quality and speed of their implementation determines the productivity of the drill. For the simplest operations, such as drilling holes in wood or plastic with a small diameter of up to 10 mm, lower power is also suitable - up to 400 W. Drills with a performance of 500 to 800 W are considered universal; non-impact models can handle sheet metal, impact models can handle concrete, brick and thick ceramics.

Drills can also be classified by type of power source. The most common option - an electric drill - has its advantages: its performance is quite high, at the same time, the tool has a fairly compact appearance and, importantly, makes virtually no noise, so your neighbors will certainly appreciate this feature of the unit. In turn, electric models are divided into those that are powered from the mains and plugged into an outlet, and those that operate on batteries or a battery.

Cordless drills weigh a little more, but provide complete freedom of movement for their owner; nothing ties them to one place. That's why they are indispensable where there is no electrical power source - for example, on an open construction site. The batteries used in drills are lithium (lithium-ion) - they are more expensive, safer, and have a longer service life, and nickel (nickel-metal hydride). They are much cheaper than their lithium counterparts, but they have such a feature as the “memory effect”, so they must be completely discharged before charging.

An alternative power source for a drill is a compressor that creates a stream of compressed air. Only pneumatic models can be powered in this way. Pneumatic drills are quite powerful, cope with complex work, and their only drawback is the high noise level that occurs during operation. Therefore, such a unit will definitely not become a “lullaby” for a neighbor, and even the owners of such an instrument themselves, experts strongly recommend taking care of protective headphones.

Muscle drills, or in other words, hand drills, still find their use in various fields. Their special charm lies in their light weight and modest dimensions. Such a drill can easily be thrown into the trunk of a car and carried with you to any distance.

Speed ​​and torque are also important characteristics when choosing a household drill. Torque is the force that is transmitted from the engine to a moving element, in this case a drill, nozzle or bit. The higher the torque, the more complex tasks the drill can handle. For the most basic manipulations, for example, screwing a screw into wood or drywall, a torque of up to 20 N*m will be sufficient. For a brick or concrete surface, you will need to increase this characteristic to 40 N*m. When performing tasks of even greater complexity, a torque of 50–60 N*m is required. As for speed, there are models operating in the same speed mode and drills with variable speed control. Fixed-mode tools are most often used for driving screws and drilling, but are sometimes also used for mixing various mortars. Conventional universal drills have several speed modes, “tailored” for each task. Modern brands also offer drills with adjustable spindle speed (the shaft connecting the motor to the gearbox, chuck and attachment).

When choosing a drill for yourself, check the method of fastening the drill in the chuck. One type of fastening is a cam or key clamp. With this design, the tool is secured with a key; this is considered a more reliable way to secure the drill. A special cutout in the electrical cord may be provided for the key.

The second fastening method is quick-clamping. Its advantages include quick tool change - practically “with one hand”, and no special keys are needed.

The list of additional functions of the drill tends to infinity; let’s consider only the most popular of them: The presence of reverse in the drill mechanism allows you to change the direction of rotation. This is especially true when using a drill as a screwdriver. It is also convenient to use reverse to remove a drill stuck in a hole.

The instantaneous motor brake helps to urgently stop a running drill without waiting for the drill to stop rotating. The side handle will help facilitate the work process; with its help, the drill can be held with two hands.

Backlighting is useful in poorly lit spaces; directional light will help you complete tasks faster.

The dust collector is convenient in the apartment for small manipulations - for example, drilling one or two holes above the sofa or kitchen area. It prevents dirt from being sprayed, collecting it in a special container.

Types of electric drills

All drills can be divided into two categories: household and industrial. The difference is that household electric drills have fewer additional functions and are less efficient than industrial ones because they are made from cheaper materials.

In order for a household drill to work for a long time, it needs to be used for a short time - about 4 hours a day and with breaks. Otherwise, the parts will overheat and wear out faster.

We've sorted this out, now let's take a closer look at the most popular electric drills today:

Regular. With a power of 400 - 700 W, and a maximum drilling diameter of 10 mm.

They are equipped with a start button, which can be pressed harder or weaker to adjust the engine speed, as well as a receiver button for changing the rotation of the drill to the right or left and two types of locks:

Toothed (turnkey chuck), where drills or bits are fixed with clamps, three cams using a special key. A reliable method of fastening, but it takes a very long time to do, so it is inconvenient when you need to change attachments frequently.

Sleeve – quick-release chuck. The nozzles are changed by pressing the sleeve ring. It is inferior in holding power to a toothed chuck when you need to drill hard materials, but it greatly simplifies changing bits.

Impact drills and rotary hammers. The difference is that in an impact drill the hammer function (oscillation of the drill forward and backward) is additional, while in a hammer drill it is the main function.

Drills differ in their mechanisms and principles of operation, as well as in size and price. A hammer drill is more expensive and heavier and is used mainly in industry for drilling brick and concrete.

An impact drill is like a cheaper alternative to a hammer drill, with which you can also drill brick and concrete, but not for a long time, since this greatly wears out its parts. Almost all modern electric drills are equipped with this function.

Drill mixer. More powerful and larger than a conventional drill, with a reinforced needle bearing on the clamp and a motor equipped with a rotor to reduce the additional rotation number.

It has additional handles and a locking start button, which makes mixing viscous materials much easier. The drill-mixer also retains its drilling capabilities, but due to its large dimensions and weight (about 3 kg) it is much inferior to a conventional drill.

Screwdriver. There are both mains and battery-powered ones. Mains ones are more powerful, and rechargeable ones are easy to use, since you don’t need to bother with an extension cord.

Cordless screwdrivers are also divided into classes: household, medium and industrial, it all depends on the power of the batteries, which varies from 12 to 20 volts.

It has a speed switch with which you can adjust the speed, which makes tightening the screws much easier.

It must be equipped with a receiver and a bat - a cartridge with a hexagonal nose and a ball lock inside, you just need to insert the nozzle until it clicks and you can work.

Additionally, they are equipped with magnetic holders on the body for additional attachments and a flashlight, which makes work easier and faster.

Which household drills are suitable for ladies?

Husbands may argue that for lovely ladies, even during the period of apartment renovation, there will always be something to do without this tool. However, representatives of the fair sex who have embarked on the difficult path of “apprenticeship” and decided to choose a drill for themselves also deserve respect. Therefore, let’s put aside jokes like “do you want a pink drill or one with rhinestones?” and we’ll tell you what a girl should pay attention to when choosing this instrument.

The most important criteria for ladies are lightness and convenience. That's why some experts in the field of household tools strongly recommend that girls stick with a screwdriver and not apply for a drill. One way or another, it should be understood that a light weight model will most likely lose in power. On the other hand, women are also different, and many of them are endowed with excellent physical shape and stamina. In this case, it is worth choosing the optimal weight/power ratio based on the principle of “how much you can withstand.”

The fair half of society also has different goals regarding a drill: to hang a shelf that has been an eyesore in the corner for six months, to hang pictures from one wall to another, to repair furniture, etc. Experienced repairmen and repairwomen advise choosing something from popular brands, and preferably with a hammer drill function.

To the objection that a hammer drill with an impact action will destroy the furniture during repairs even more due to drilling with impact, professionals respond that this function can be easily turned off. All that remains is to test this in practice. Let's consider the most popular drill models today, which, according to their technical characteristics, are perfect, including for the fair sex.

Top 8 drills that are optimal for use at home in 2021

It is unlikely that it will be possible to combine all the advantages of a drilling tool in one model. Obviously, if a manufacturer promises a powerful yet lightweight device, then this is rather a marketing ploy. You will have to rely on certain characteristics and make compromises. We present our latest selection of household drills for different occasions.

Impact drill Makita HP1640K

prt scr market.yandex.ru /

Let's start our review with a drill from the Japanese brand Makita. We have already mentioned this instrument, but with a slightly different configuration, as a top one for ladies. In this case, it is an impact model powered by a regular electrical outlet. The maximum power of the electric motor is 680 W at 2800 rpm, which indicates the domestic purpose of the unit. However, in some cases, this drill can be used on a construction site: the power allows this, provided that you take mandatory breaks during work. The chuck can change diameter and accommodate drill bits up to 13 mm thick. The model is equipped with a reverse control with electric motor brushes. For all its reliability, the drill has only one drawback that needs to be mentioned: poor alignment in some specimens. This shortens the life of the cartridge.

Impact drill BOSCH EasyImpact 550 Case
