It's also one of the smallest drill drivers on the market (it weighs in at around 2kgs) and that means greater ease of use in confined spaces. The newest model in the US-made M18 series is equipped with the latest in brushless motor tech which provides 50% more efficiency and twice the lifespan of your common or garden motor. The Milwaukee brand may be relatively unknown in DIY-land but it's one of the first ports of call for the hard-hat brigade. If you're in the market for a really heavy duty 18v drill driver (a drill and screwdriver in one) that'll last for years and perform any task you throw at it, then reach deeper into your wallet and nab yourself one of these American killer drillers. Everything you need, in other words, to tackle most jobs at home no matter how tough the task. The DeWalt 18V XRP comes in a large heavy-duty stackable carrying case along with two PowerStack 5Ah batteries, a multi-voltage XR Charger, a side handle for extra pressure when drilling through tough brick and stone, and a magnetic bit holder. The upshot of all this is that they theoretically produce 50% more power while lasting twice as long as other batteries. According to DeWalt, the PowerStack system uses ‘pouch’ cells that have an increased surface area so that they run cooler while dissipating heat more efficiently, which means fewer shutdowns when the going’s tough. ![]() Perhaps one of the most tantalising aspects of this drill/driver package is the new PowerStack 5Ah battery system which provides more power by maintaining a higher voltage and current when under load. It also comes with a three-level LED lamp that beams upwards from below so a hand doesn’t obscure the light. The DeWalt XRP also features an improved brushless motor, three main speeds, an electronic clutch and 11 torque settings to give DIYers and pros a variety of powerful drill and driver settings to cover a wide range of tasks, including penetrating hard brick like a knife through butter. If you need more torque than the winning DeWalt DCD778P2T-SFGB’s modest 65Nm, try this new pro-level flagship 18v model which weighs roughly the same (1.61kgs) while packing a considerable 112Nm of torque.

Oh, and because the battery is part of Bosch's 18volt 'Power4All' system it can be used on 15 other Bosch-based DIY and garden tools. ![]() You only get one for your money, but a single charge lasts long enough to see you through, ooh, at least 10 IKEA cupboard assemblies, several shelving units and possibly the building of a full-scale Spitfire replica. It's also the first DIY drill to incorporate the latest in brushless e-motors that are not only smaller and lighter than current units, but are also more powerful and wear-free.īosch's accompanying 18-volt Lithium-Ion battery dishes out a very ample 2.5Ah and can be charged to 80% in just 40 minutes. It loves a good screwing – it has no less than 20 torque settings – and will penetrate any willing material, be it masonry, brick, metal, wood or, if your name's Reno, skull. ![]() The PSR 18 is no lightweight when it comes to tricky tasks. Furthermore, if the drill's integrated sensor detects sudden jamming – for example you may hit a steel joist, an old Roman axe, or whatever else is tucked behind the wallpaper – it shuts the motor down preventing kick back of the drill and possibly further chaos. Where in the past you'd be triggering the drill with one hand and pushing from behind with the other, with this one you simply grip the arched front handle, lean in and drill right through to the neighbours sitting room. It's also ergonomically designed to give you optimum power transfer and less of an aching hand.Ĭertainly, the dual grip is a godsend for those tricky jobs that require a bit of body weight and an extra hand on the drill. This bundle of dual-grip friskiness is 20% smaller and 10% lighter (1.1kg) than the average cordless man drill.
