Your choice depends on the task and the material. For holes in wood or metal, look for models with power suited to your needs and enough maneuverability. In this category, you’ll find corded tools with power from 400 W to 1010 W, chucks ranging from 6 mm to 13 mm, and right/left rotation options. Some models offer a keyless chuck, while others use a keyed chuck, making it easier to switch drill bits depending on the application. This variety lets you cover everything from small DIY jobs to more demanding work.

The hammer function activates a percussion mechanism that helps you drill into masonry and concrete. This feature is essential when you need to make holes in walls or other hard surfaces without putting excessive strain on the tool. In this selection, more powerful models—and some drills—include this function, making them suitable for light to medium construction tasks. Using the correct setting helps prevent premature wear of the drill bits and improves drilling accuracy.

For light to medium work (wood, plasterboard, small fixings), a tool around 400–450 W with a 6 mm chuck is usually enough and easy to handle. For more demanding projects (stone, thick metal), choose 750–850 W with a 10–13 mm chuck, and consider an optional reverse rotation function if needed. For heavy masonry, prioritize models with percussion and high power—up to 1010 W—to ensure fast, clean drilling.

First check the chuck type (keyed vs keyless) and the rotation direction that fits your workflow. Clean the tool after each session, avoid prolonged overload, and use only drill bits compatible with the tool’s power and chuck. Models in this range clearly state chuck capacity (6–13 mm) and may include right/left rotation. Choose tools from well-known brands for reliability and good after-sales support to help extend the life of the motor and accessories.

Start by assessing the types of work you do: small holes in wood or metal require less power and a more compact chuck. If you frequently drill in masonry or work overhead, choose a more powerful model (750–850 W) with percussion and a chuck of at least 10–13 mm for extra stability. For small workshops or occasional projects, a lightweight and maneuverable tool around 400–450 W with a 6 mm chuck is enough. This approach helps you balance performance and comfort.

Key features to look for include a hammer/percussion mode for masonry, right/left rotation to match the bits and the rotation direction you need, and a sturdy 6–13 mm chuck depending on the bits you’ll use. A keyless chuck makes changing drill bits quickly and improves ergonomics. In addition, appropriate power (400–1010 W depending on use) and a well-balanced design reduce fatigue during longer operations. The options shown here highlight the variety available in this tool line.
