10 most powerful screwdrivers

Powerful cordless screwdrivers differ from their younger counterparts in rather large dimensions and heavy weight. This is not surprising, given their technical characteristics and the tasks that they face. But there are also quite compact models, and one of them is in front of us. Japanese engineers once again performed a miracle, and were able to fit a powerful engine with a torque of 135 units into a small body.This is one of the highest indicators, allowing to classify this tool as a full-fledged corded drill.

The only thing that the developers had to sacrifice was the shock mode, but to be honest, it is used very rarely in screwdrivers due to existing limitations. Even very powerful models rarely cope with thick concrete, in addition, there are rotary hammers for such tasks. But here there is an electronic speed control, which independently adjusts the parameters based on the applied efforts. This protects the screwdriver from overheating and significantly increases its service life.

Before us is a cordless screwdriver with the largest set of options. There is no point in listing them all, so we will focus only on the most important ones. The first is electronic torque control. The maximum value is 135 units, but when the tool feels tension, for example, when driving a screw into hard wood or metal, the power increases and the rotation speed decreases. A very handy option to use. The second aspect is overload protection. Such a tool is almost impossible to burn, since at increased loads it first reduces speed, and then turns off completely.

In addition, there is a directional flashlight and an additional handle with several degrees of adjustment. This is the most convenient tool with which you can work for several hours without experiencing difficulties. In addition, the 5 amp battery allows you to use the tool for five hours. But the price will certainly scare away many.But it should be understood that this is a professional tool, and it does not make sense to buy it for home use.

A powerful screwdriver is a controversial tool. On the one hand, it is close to a conventional drill and even has a puncher mode, but on the other hand, the torque and power of the engine do not allow you to fully use this tool for drilling holes. But there are exceptions, and one of them is before us. This is the strongest option on the market. The torque here is 110 units, which is not much, but a powerful motor is installed on board, powered by a 36 volt battery. The maximum depth of a drilled hole in concrete is 40 centimeters, which is a lot for such a compact screwdriver.

At the height and build quality, as always with the Bosch brand. This is real German quality, despite the fact that the product is produced in Malaysia. If we talk about the shortcomings, then he is here alone and immediately catches the eye - the price tag. Very expensive model, even with its parameters. However, this is the norm for Bosch, but it simply does not make sense to buy such a tool for domestic use. There is a much cheaper option. Albeit with more modest characteristics.

Before us is a powerful cordless screwdriver with a torque of 115 units. For such a tool, this is a very high indicator, which allows not only to twist and unscrew fasteners, but also to drill holes in metal.There is also an impact effect here, but it should be understood that the impact force here is too small for drilling large holes. The maximum diameter of the installed drill is 12 millimeters.

The main advantage of this model is its compactness, despite the rather impressive weight of 2.6 kilograms. It's worth noting that most of the weight comes from the 18-watt, 4 milliamp lithium-ion battery. Quite a capacious battery that provides operation at maximum power for 4 hours without recharging. The tool itself is small in size, which is very convenient, and is equipped with a removable handle, with the ability to adjust the length and angle of inclination. But the main advantage is the price. This is one of the cheapest high power impact drivers, moreover, from a famous brand that has never been famous for its affordable price tag.

The Metabo brand is famous for its high-quality and reliable tools. Before us is a powerful cordless screwdriver, honored with a lot of reviews from real users. It is praised for everything from comfortable ergonomics, which is very important in such models, to a long service life. The tool perfectly copes with its tasks, and in fact is a mini puncher, as it is able to punch a hole in concrete up to 30 centimeters thick. Not the highest figure, but for a tool weighing only 2 kilograms, and powered by an 18 volt battery, this is quite acceptable.

The torque here is 110 units, and this is a really powerful machine that outperforms many corded drills in terms of performance. The name screwdriver here is due to only one factor - the slow rotation of the cartridge.That is, at high force, the tool rotates very slowly, which allows you not to strip the threads from the fastener. But there is only one drawback - the price. However, the instrument from Metabo has always been famous for this.

Most screwdriver models have restrictions on the maximum chuck diameter. This is necessary in order to avoid possible overloads, and you will not be able to insert a drill with a diameter of more than 13 millimeters into such a cartridge. But there are models where this parameter is increased to 30 millimeters, and this is the highest figure among similar tools. Before us is an extremely powerful unit designed for the most difficult jobs. It is capable of drilling thick metal sheets. Drill holes in concrete up to 50 centimeters thick and tighten fasteners of large diameter.

The torque here is 200 units, and the output power is more than a kilowatt. It is difficult to work with such a tool, therefore, for the convenience of the operator, there is a special emphasis on the chest and two handles at once on both sides of the tool.The only aspect by which this model has got such a disgraceful place in our rating is the price. You won't be able to find a more expensive instrument. Yes, this is a professional product for complex work and it is simply not needed at home.

Modern power tool manufacturers try to stuff their products with as many options as possible, but in reality, most of them are never used. The German brand Kress is famous for adhering to conservative views and believes that if it produces a screwdriver, then this is a screwdriver, and nothing else. There is no impact function, which in most models leaves much to be desired and only reduces tool life. There is no drilling mode and increasing the rotation speed to the limit.

The maximum idle speed is only 550, and the rotation speed during operation is 1200 rpm. There is protection against overheating and automatic adjustment of the torque, which in the optimal mode is 110 units. There is a chuck and an optional additional handle. Everything you need for an ordinary screwdriver and nothing more. It is worth noting that this approach allowed the manufacturer to create a high-quality and durable tool, and this is the most important factor, especially considering the rather high cost.

Powerful screwdrivers are distinguished by a high cost, and this is not surprising, given the technical features that they possess. But there are quite budget models, and the cheapest one is now in front of us.Less than two thousand rubles for a full-fledged impact drill with a screwdriver. In the description, the manufacturer positions it as a screwdriver, but in reality it is still a drill. And the function of automatic power adjustment, inherent only in screwdrivers, is present here as an addition.

The technical parameters here are from the drill: 88 units of torque, 1100 watts of engine power, 1800 rpm at idle, a key-clamped chuck. All these are functions of a drill, but if necessary, the tool is switched to the screwdriver mode with the corresponding handle on the side. Activating this option enables automatic adjustment and shutdown of the tool when overloaded. But, despite the presence of such a function, it will not be very convenient to use this model for tightening screws or self-tapping screws. Large dimensions and the need to hold the drill with two hands greatly complicate the task.

Before us is the most compact impact screwdriver with high performance. It is hard to imagine that in such a compact case there is a 230 watt motor with a torque of 100 units. In addition, there is an impact function here, that is, it is also a perforator. But do not place high hopes on this unit. Despite the presence of a percussion mechanism, its performance leaves much to be desired. The impact force is only 2 joules, and drilling a hole in concrete deeper than 10 centimeters will definitely lead to overheating. In addition, there is no overvoltage protection, and using this model to the fullest, you run the risk of simply burning it.

This brand appeared on the market relatively recently, and most of its products still have the status of new products. Apparently, the manufacturer decided to stuff his tool with all possible options, and so far there are very few reviews. But already now we can conclude that it is not worth using this tool as a puncher. But as a screwdriver, this is a great option, moreover, at the most attractive price. Only 3 and a half thousand rubles.

I would like to start the review of this screwdriver with a description of its characteristics. There are 93 units of torque here. 1050 watts of output power and one speed of operation. Next, we look at the form factor: large dimensions. Weight 2.6 kilograms and a cartridge that is twisted from the key. All these parameters allow us to conclude that we have an ordinary corded drill, but the manufacturer indicates that this is a screwdriver.

From a screwdriver, there is only electronic and manual adjustment of rotation speed and power. The tool itself feels the tension and, based on this, reduces or increases the twisting force. Yes, a parameter that is only present on screwdrivers, but it seems that the manufacturer simply added an additional option to a conventional drill and released a new tool. In addition, this is a two-handed model with a not very comfortable handle. It will be very inconvenient to tighten self-tapping screws with such a form factor, but it is convenient to drill holes. Simply put, a very controversial model, which can hardly be called a screwdriver in the full sense of the word.
