Best drill under 100-review

 

This review is selecting the best drill under 100 dollars and in particular the best corded drills.

Corded electric hand drills are selected for being relatively lightweight and capable of delivering continuous power over long periods without fading.

The other consideration is what size drill bit is going to be used, large drill bits need to have more powerful drill output.

What type of work will the drill be used for, if lengthy hardwood or metal drilling then the power out put should be high to avoid overheating the drill.

Please note:
If viewing from Canada, France or United Kingdom articles selected to view may be substituted for an equivalent model if the selected model is not available in your country.

This drill is an import from China and one reviewer, having in his toolkit, said it was identical to a Milwaukee drill he had.

Hitachi D10VH 6.0-Amp 3/8-Inch Reversible Driver Drill with Keyless Chuck

A question asked, Hitachi drills any good. This Electric drills review doubts, dispelled.

The Hitachi drill unit is a very compact powerful with a 6 Amp motor.

The motor provides 108 inch/pounds torque to provide a high speed.
To operate the variable speed there is a dial built into the operating switch.
The drill is lightweight and only weighs 3.1lbs.
The hand grip is a comfortable design to minimise vibration and fatigue.

From the reviews there were differing opinions as to the working of the drill.
The fact that one turn of the closing mechanism made a small adjustment on the chuck jaws, this meant the drill bit could grip the drill bit tightly.
The variable speed control is a good asset.
Some found the keyless chuck was difficult to operate and wouldn’t grip the smallest drill bits.

All of the top reviewers, very impressed with the power output of the drill.
