Worx 20V Drills and Drivers
Worx 20V drills and drivers cover everyday drilling, driving and light fixing jobs without dragging heavy kit round site or the house.
If you're fitting kitchens, building stud, hanging doors or sorting snagging, a Worx 20V drill gives you the basics you actually need: decent control, sensible weight and PowerShare battery compatibility. Go for Worx 20V Combi Drills when you need masonry mode, or Worx 20V Impact Drivers for long fixings and repeat screw work. If you've already bought into the platform, Worx 20V Batteries, Chargers and Mounts make it easier to keep moving without waiting on charge.
What Are Worx 20V Drills and Drivers Used For?
- Drilling timber, sheet material and light metal on kitchen fits, shelving jobs and first fix work is where a worx 20v cordless drill earns its keep without feeling overkill.
- Driving batches of screws into stud, carcassing and fencing is easier with a worx 20v driver, especially when you are working one handed up steps or in tight corners.
- Fixing into brick and block for plugs, clips and light brackets suits a worx 20v combi drill, provided you keep the hole size and workload sensible.
- Snagging, maintenance and van stock jobs are a good fit for a worx 20v drill driver because it is quick to grab for mixed drilling and screwdriving through the day.
- Cross-platform users can keep one battery system running across Worx 20V Garden Power Tools and Worx 20V More Power Tools, which makes sense if you do a bit of everything.
Choosing the Right Worx 20V Drill
Sorting the right one is simple: match it to the fixing and drilling you actually do most, not the odd job you might do once.
1. Drill Driver or Combi Drill
If you are mostly drilling wood, plastic, sheet and light metal, a standard worx 20v drill driver is the cleaner choice. If you regularly need plugs into brick or block, buy the worx 20v combi drill and save yourself reaching for another tool.
2. Driver for Screws, Not Holes
If your day is more about long screws, coach screws and repeat fastening, a worx 20v driver makes more sense than forcing a drill to do everything. It hits harder on fixings and puts less strain through your wrist.
3. Bare Tool or Full Kit
If you already run PowerShare kit, a body only worx 20v drill set up is the cheaper way in. If this is your first tool on the platform, get the battery and charger in the box so you are not stuck with a tool you cannot use straight away.
4. Torque and Chuck Size
For lighter fitting and pilot drilling, you do not need massive numbers. If you are regularly drilling bigger timber holes or driving thicker fixings, check the torque figure and chuck capacity first or the tool will feel out of puff.
Who Uses These on Site?
- Chippies use a worx 20v drill for fitting hinges, running screws into carcasses and dealing with everyday timber drilling without carting a bigger combi everywhere.
- Sparks keep a worx 20v cordless drill in the van for clips, pattress boxes, cable tray fixings and general second fix where compact kit is easier to live with.
- Kitchen fitters and maintenance teams like a worx 20v drill driver for mixed snagging because one tool can drill pilot holes, drive screws and handle light fixings through the day.
- General builders and DIY users usually go for a worx 20v combi drill when they need one machine that can cover timber, metal and the odd masonry hole around the job.
Worx 20V Drill Accessories That Keep You Working
A few sensible add-ons stop downtime and make a worx powershare drill far more useful day to day.
1. Spare Batteries
A spare battery is the obvious one. Do not get halfway through a run of fixings or a snagging list and end up waiting for charge when you could just swap packs and carry on.
2. Charger
A proper charger matters if you are rotating packs through the day. One in the van or workshop keeps your worx 20v cordless drill ready instead of dead on the shelf.
3. Screwdriver Bit Sets
Decent bits save chewed screw heads and slipping out on repeat work. If you are using a worx 20v driver for fitting out, buy bits that match the fixings you use most.
4. Drill Bit Sets
Keep wood, metal and masonry bits sorted so the tool can actually do the mixed jobs you bought it for. Wrong or blunt bits make even a good drill feel useless.
Choose the Right Worx 20V Drill for the Job
Use this quick guide to sort the right Worx 20V setup before you buy.
| Your Job | Category or Type | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Fitting kitchens, cabinets and general timber drilling | Worx 20V drill driver | Compact size, clutch control, standard drilling and screwdriving for everyday joinery work |
| Drilling plugs into brick and block for light fixings | Worx 20V combi drill | Hammer mode, higher torque, one tool for timber, metal and occasional masonry |
| Driving long screws and repeated fixings | Worx 20V driver | Higher fastening performance, less kickback through the wrist, quicker on batches of screws |
| Starting fresh on the PowerShare platform | Worx 20V drill set | Battery and charger included, ready to use straight away, better value than buying parts separately |
| Adding another tool to an existing Worx kit | Body only Worx 20V drill | No duplicate batteries, lower cost up front, ideal if you already own compatible PowerShare packs |
Common Buying and Usage Mistakes
- Buying a standard drill driver when you actually need to drill into brick means extra faff on site. If masonry holes are part of the weekly list, go straight to a worx 20v combi drill.
- Using a drill for long structural screws instead of an impact driver slows the job down and strains your wrist. For repeated fastening, a worx 20v driver is the right tool.
- Assuming every worx 20v drill comes with a battery and charger catches plenty of buyers out. Check whether you are buying body only or a full kit before you hit checkout.
- Ignoring torque and chuck capacity can leave you with a tool that struggles on bigger bits or thicker fixings. Match the spec to the material and screw size you use most.
- Running blunt or cheap bits makes the tool look worse than it is. Keep proper wood, metal and masonry bits in the case or performance drops off fast.
Drill Driver vs Combi Drill vs Impact Driver
Drill Driver
Best for wood, sheet, pilot holes and general screwdriving. It is usually the easiest one to live with for joinery, fitting and maintenance, but it is not the right pick for regular masonry drilling.
Combi Drill
The all-rounder. A worx 20v combi drill adds hammer action for plugs and light fixing holes in brick or block, though it can be bulkier than a straight drill driver for everyday indoor work.
Impact Driver
Built for driving fixings fast and hard. If you spend more time on long screws than drilling holes, this is the better buy, but you will still want a drill for standard hole making.
Maintenance and Care
Keep the Chuck Clean
Dust and fine debris build up around the chuck quickly, especially after masonry work. Wipe it down after use so bits seat properly and do not start slipping.
Look After the Batteries
Do not leave PowerShare batteries flat for ages or rattling about wet in the van. Charge them properly, store them dry and rotate packs if the tool is used every day.
Use the Right Bits
Blunt drill bits and rounded driver bits put extra strain on the motor and clutch. Replace worn bits early and the drill will work cleaner, cooler and quicker.
Check for Play and Wear
If the chuck starts wobbling or the clutch settings feel inconsistent, deal with it before accuracy goes out the window. Small problems get expensive if you just keep pushing on.
Store It Properly
A worx 20v drill set lasts longer if it goes back in its case or a dry tool box, not loose under bags of fixings. That stops knocks, damp and bent bits ruining the next job.

Worx 20V Drill and Driver FAQs
What drills and drivers does Worx make for the 20V range?
Worx covers the main jobs with 20V drill drivers, combi drills and impact drivers. In plain terms, drill drivers handle everyday drilling and screwdriving, combi drills add hammer action for light masonry work, and impact drivers are better for repeated fixing and longer screws.
Are Worx 20V drills suitable for masonry drilling?
Yes, but only the combi drill versions are the right choice for that job. They are fine for light to medium holes in brick and block for plugs and small fixings, but if you are drilling concrete all day or running larger diameters, you need something more serious.
What torque output do Worx 20V drills have?
Torque varies by model, so do not guess from the badge alone. Lower torque suits pilot drilling, furniture fitting and general snagging, while higher torque models are the better call for bigger timber bits, thicker screws and more demanding daily use.
Does the Worx 20V drill come with a battery and charger?
Some do and some do not. Kit versions usually include a battery and charger, while body only models are sold on their own for users already on the PowerShare platform. Always check the box contents before buying.
Is a Worx 20V impact driver better than a drill for screws?
For repeated screw work, yes. A worx 20v driver is quicker on long fixings, puts less twist through your wrist and copes better when screws start biting hard. For standard drilling and mixed jobs, you will still want a drill as well.
Can I use the same battery across different Worx 20V tools?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons people buy into the range. Worx PowerShare batteries are designed to work across compatible 20V tools, which makes it easier to add more kit without buying a fresh battery setup every time.
