Choosing the Right Drill Driver
Power & Voltage
18V drill drivers offer the best balance of power and runtime for site use, handling most drilling and fixing jobs without strain.
Torque Settings
Multiple clutch settings give better control when driving screws, helping prevent snapped heads or damaged materials.
Chuck Size
Most drill drivers use a 13mm keyless chuck, allowing fast bit changes and compatibility with common drill and driver bits.
Comfort & Balance
Weight distribution, grip design and trigger control matter when the tool is in your hand all day.
Drill Driver FAQs
What is a drill driver used for?
A drill driver is used for drilling holes and driving screws. It’s a versatile all-round tool for general site and fit-out work.
Is a drill driver the same as a combi drill?
No. A combi drill includes hammer mode for light masonry. A drill driver focuses on drilling and screwdriving only.
Can a drill driver replace an impact driver?
For light to medium fixings, yes. For large fixings or high-torque work, an impact driver is the better option.
Are cordless drill drivers powerful enough for site work?
Modern cordless drill drivers deliver more than enough power for daily site tasks, especially when paired with brushless motors and high-capacity batteries.
