FAQs

A regular cordless drill is normally used for drilling holes in materials such as wood, plastic, and thin metal. Whereas a cordless drill driver can be used for drilling holes and driving screws.

What’s the difference between a cordless drill and a cordless drill driver?

A regular cordless drill is normally used for drilling holes in materials such as wood, plastic, and thin metal. Whereas a cordless drill driver can be used for drilling holes and driving screws. This is because drill drivers come with adjustable torque settings to prevent over‑tightening or stripping of screw heads vs a regular drill without torque control.

While torque can be defined as the force that causes an object to rotate about an axis, it also determines how much force a drill driver uses during various drilling or driving tasks – usually in Newton-meter (Nm).

How much torque do I need for tasks with a cordless drill driver?

While torque can be defined as the force that causes an object to rotate about an axis, it also determines how much force a drill driver uses during various drilling or driving tasks – usually in Newton-meter (Nm).

As a general guide:

  • 20–40 Nm

    is the range used for driving small screws during furniture assembly

  • 40–60 Nm

    is the range for tasks in general home improvement, decking and driving larger screws

  • Over 60 Nm

    is generally used by professional tradespeople for more heavy-duty tasks

While both types of motors perform similarly well, there a couple of things you should consider when choosing between the two types of motor.

What is better in a cordless drill, brushless or brushed motor?

While both types of motors perform similarly well, there a couple of things you should consider when choosing between the two types of motor.

Cordless drill drivers with brushed motors are generally cheaper than brushed equivalents. However, drill drivers with brushless motors can be lighter and produce less heat because there are less moving parts and friction – which in turn decreases wear and tear and helps to prolong tool life.

Drills featuring a brushless motor are also better for projects where prolonged use is required, with less heat build-up in the tool. So for frequent use a brushless motor is better, but normally more expensive.

What’s the difference between a cordless screwdriver for drywall vs drill driver?

A cordless screwdriver, or cordless drywall/ metal screwdriver, is usually lighter than a drill driver and only made for driving screws. On the other hand, a cordless drill driver is more powerful and can drill holes and drive screws.

However, a cordless screwdriver, for either metal or drywall, can offer higher speeds and more consistent depth gauge for screws. This is vital for when accuracy and consistency during driving is key.
