We Tested 13 Cordless Drills: Here’s the Ultimate Winner for Pros!
Pro Tool Reviews: Our team spent hundreds of man-hours testing cordless drills to see which ones rise to the top for professional contractors and tradesmen. If you’re a serious DIYer, we tested some popular brands like Ryobi and Skil side-by-side with Milwaukee, Makita, DeWalt, and other Pro brands. We even threw in Hercules for fun.

I personally think that picking out a drill should dictate what tool brand battery system you end up investing in. I personally chose Milwaukee about six years ago. I am very happy with my choice because of the inventory available. But as a smaller individual I find that the higher torque and power can be difficult to work with. The weight of the tool gets heavy towards the end of the day. Now I will say that you can be pretty confident that the inventory of whatever brand tool you choose will be pretty consistently available. Of course there is going to be slight variations between brands across the variety of tools and their performance. But ultimately the first tool you will purchase is going to be a drill and impact, and it will be the power tool used most frequently. Understanding the materials and scope of your work will dictate what drill suits your job best. And looking at the entertainment industry I now think that the time it takes to drill a hole matters more than the high torque. Now with the times and numbers put out by this article I find Mikita, and Metabo drill drivers really appealing especially in the entertainment industry where that extra power is seldom used. But I would probably go with Mikita due to it being distributed by Home Depot and more accessible hardware stores.
