Best cordless drill under 150 – review

 

This electric drill review is to show the  Best Cordless Drill under 150 dollars.

With the introduction of the lithium-ion battery to the cordless drill market it provided the boost to make the the cordless drill more acceptable.

 

The lithium-ion battery has the benefit of less weight and greater density of power, this combination gives an increase improvement of performance of cordless drill machines.

For the handy man use around the house the more expensive cordless drill could be a deterrent expenditure for the amount of use the drill is required to do.

For the tradesman it is an asset not having to also carry extension cables and the other possibility that working on site where there is no electric power easily available.

The most preferred models have a battery range between 18-20 volts, there are some 28 & 36 volt models but the drills had more power but were heavy and unwieldy.

The 12 volt machines were lighter, but the battery limited the length of useable operating time.
