A cordless screwdriver is an indispensable tool both in the household and in small businesses. In principle, it can be easily replaced with a conventional screwdriver and even a drill, but the tool has a number of advantages over them:
- compact dimensions;
- built-in battery;
- the possibility of smoother adjustment of the rotation speed;
- convenient form factor;
- Charging both from the network and from any USB connector.
In addition, screwdrivers are cheaper, and even TOP models rarely go beyond 5 thousand rubles. Things are easier with the selection. The technical characteristics of the screwdrivers are almost the same, except for the charge time and energy consumption. The strength and speed of rotation can also differ, but not much, so the main criterion when choosing a tool is convenience and quality. Brand models are more expensive, but their manufacturers pay more attention to the technical side of the issue and are not ready to risk their reputation.True, you will have to pay a little more for a famous logo, and if you use such a screwdriver often, this makes sense, since their warranty period and service are longer than those of analogues that cannot boast of a big name.
TOP 10 best cordless screwdrivers
10 FIT SD-4,8R
Country: Canada (Made in China)
Average price: 1 300 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.3
When selecting products for the rating, we take into account all factors, including the appearance of the product. In the case of a tool, it is not fundamental, so this screwdriver got to such a place in our TOP. The main criterion here is the appearance. The screwdriver is made in the form of a revolver, where not cartridges are located in the drum, but bits. Unfortunately, there are no advantages in this, except for aesthetic ones, and it will not work to call the tool the best in terms of convenience, which is written a lot in the reviews. The handle, of course, does not rotate, and the form factor will not allow you to crawl into difficult places.
As for the technical side, it also does not claim to be the palm. Torque 3 Nm, at a chuck rotation speed of 180 rpm. A screwdriver will easily cope with a screw screwed into a prepared hole, but is unlikely to master the tightening of bolts or nuts. And the battery is pretty weak. Only 0.6 amperes, which is enough for a maximum of 2 hours of continuous operation. In general, this model does not have any obvious advantages. It has an interesting design and in some ways even attractive, but this does not affect the technical side in any way, at least on the positive side.
9 Interskol OA-3,6F
Country: Russia (made in China)
Average price: 960 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.3
Feedback from real users is one of the most important factors in the selection of products in the rating, and this cordless screwdriver could easily claim the place of the leader if this factor was the only one. Reviews about the tool are positive and there are a lot of them. They concern all aspects, ranging from convenience and ergonomics, and ending with the reliability of the mechanism. But, studying the technical characteristics, we could not give up the top of the pedestal of this model, as they leave much to be desired.
The torque of the screwdriver is 5 Nm, and there is no way to adjust this parameter, as well as the rotation speed. The tool works only in one mode, and even pressing the button unevenly does not work. But here there is a rotary handle that allows you to penetrate into the most difficult places, and if necessary, even illuminate them. True, this parameter can hardly be called unique, since almost all models, even budget ones, are equipped with LEDs. By the way, the price is also good. Not the lowest, but quite acceptable, especially considering the manufacturer's two-year warranty.
8 PATRIOT PS 136Li
Country: USA (Made in China)
Average price: 1 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
If you need a cordless screwdriver that does not need to buy additional related modules, then it is in front of you. The main advantage of the model is the maximum configuration. For a very reasonable amount, you get the tool itself, a set of 15 bits of various diameters, as well as a convenient case for storage and carrying.
In addition, the screwdriver is also the best in terms of convenience and ergonomics. The handle is covered with anti-slip plastic and has a swivel mechanism. That is, the tool will get into the most difficult places, and if necessary, it will also highlight them with a bright diode.Otherwise, it is a conventional screwdriver, with only one speed of rotation and a maximum torque of 5 Nm. Quite an acceptable figure, especially when rotating at 180 rpm. But the weight has gone up. 780 grams for such a tool is quite a lot, especially if you have to work in hard-to-reach places and for a long time. But in the reviews they write a lot about the quality of the product and its durability, which is not surprising, given the name of the manufacturer, who has long established itself in the market.
7 Kolner KCSD
Country: Germany (made in China)
Average price: 690 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Any tool can be conditionally divided into household and professional, and we have a screwdriver exclusively for home use, and then, with a number of restrictions. The torque here is only 2.5 Nm, which is very small and will not allow you to tighten the bolt or nut tightly. And the number of revolutions is 250 per minute, which, on the contrary, is a lot. That is, at a high rotation speed, the tool does not have sufficient power, and you can work with it only by screwing small screws into a pre-prepared seat.
But, the price will please, and this is the best characteristic of this model. A little more than 700 rubles for a complete set, which, in addition to the screwdriver itself, also includes a set of bits and a small storage case. For domestic, infrequent use, a great option, but you should not overload it, since a rather weak engine simply cannot cope with high loads. And the battery leaves much to be desired. With a capacity of 0.6 amps, it is able to work for 2 hours, and then requires charging for five hours.
6 Xiaomi MiJia Electric Screwdriver Gun
Country: China
Average price: 3 050 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Relatively recently, the Chinese brand Xiaomi broke into the electronics market, completely breaking the stereotype about the low quality of products from the Middle Kingdom. The brand's arsenal includes both complex computer systems and simple cordless screwdrivers, one of which we are considering. This is a truly unique thing, at least in terms of design. It is more like a building hair dryer or a futuristic tool, but we have the most common screwdriver in front of us, and it is difficult to call it the best.
From a technical point of view, the tool does not stand out from its competitors in any way. There is a reverse, the ability to adjust the speed from 3.5 to 5 Nm, and this is where the set of qualities ends. Compared to other models, this tool loses completely, and it is completely incomprehensible why the manufacturer launched its release. Yes, the design is interesting and somewhat attractive, but when buying a cordless screwdriver, you first of all look at the technical side, and this product has nothing to brag about. It is charged via USB, which is not an achievement or something unusual for a long time, as well as the presence of LED backlight. It also cannot become a part of a smart home, which is what the Xiaomi brand is famous for, and there is no point in this.
5 RYOBI ERGO A2
Country: Japan (made in China)
Average price: 4 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
When buying a cordless screwdriver for the home, you should also take care of purchasing bits, a storage case and other related little things. With this model, such problems will not arise, since we have the best screwdriver in terms of equipment. It comes in a handy, small case made of lightweight plastic. In addition to the tool itself, the case contains 10 bits of various lengths, configurations and diameters, as well as wires for charging the battery.
By releasing this model, the manufacturer focused specifically on domestic use, as evidenced by the absence of a number of functions necessary even for small production. For example, there is no way to adjust the power. It is set at 5 Nm, which allows you to even drill holes, but does not allow you to smoothly screw fasteners into soft materials to avoid damage. But there is a comfortable handle equipped with a rubber pad and a bright LED that illuminates the workspace. And finally, an important factor often mentioned in reviews is reliability. The manufacturer has long established itself in the market, moreover, it comes from the Land of the Rising Sun, which already indicates a high-quality approach to products.
4 AEG SE 3.6Li
Country: Germany (made in China)
Average price: 6 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Before us is an instrument worthy of the first place in the ranking, if not for the relatively high price, which does not allow us to give it a pedestal. This is where the disadvantages end, and the advantages begin, of which there are a lot. Firstly, the ability to adjust the power and speed of rotation. With a screwdriver, you can not only twist screws into wood, but also drill holes in metal with a diameter of up to three millimeters. Torque is in the range from 4.5 to 6 Nm, which is comparable to a full-fledged screwdriver, as well as a removable battery at 3.6 milliamps per hour.
A full charge of the battery is enough for 6 hours of work, and it takes only half an hour to charge. The best indicator among competitive models. Also worth mentioning is the spindle lock and speed control. To change the power, the tool has 10 modes, and two for speed. There are many reviews about the quality of the product.In particular, about the metal case. It is strong and durable, not afraid of bumps and accidental drops. True, I had to sacrifice the weight of the structure. Here it reaches 600 grams with the battery, which is quite a lot. In fact, we do not have a cordless screwdriver, but a full-fledged screwdriver in a compact form factor.
3 BLACK+DECKER CS3651LC
Country: USA (Made in China)
Average price: 1 700 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
The American company BLACK + DECKER is considered a manufacturer of professional tools, but this cordless screwdriver is a household version and it is not relevant to use it even in small production. First, not the best battery. It works for 4 hours at maximum load, which is the norm, but you have to charge it for 15 hours, a very long time compared to similar models.
Also, there is no way to independently adjust the speed of rotation and power. The torque is 5 Nm and the speed is 180 rpm. A screwdriver can easily handle bolts and screws with a diameter of up to five millimeters, but you can forget about smooth tightening. But, the manufacturer took care of ergonomics. The tool is very comfortable and feels good in the hand. Its weight is only 320 grams. True, the handle does not turn and in some places it will be problematic to get close with such a screwdriver.
2 Makita DF001DW
Country: Japan (made in China)
Average price: 3 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
A distinctive feature of the Japanese brand Makita is high ergonomics, to which the company always pays special attention.The cordless screwdriver is no exception, and despite not the lightest weight of 360 grams, working with it is as convenient and comfortable as possible. This is facilitated by a rubberized handle, designed to fit comfortably in the hand and not slip. But the main advantage is the ability to rotate this handle. If you need to unscrew the fasteners in a hard-to-reach place, you just need to turn the handle as it is convenient and continue working.
But with the technical characteristics, not everything is so rosy. More precisely, there is nothing unusual about them. The screwdriver is equipped with a reverse and a self-tightening chuck, but the rotation speed cannot be adjusted, which is strange for a brand of this level. It is also not possible to adjust the torque, that is, the rotational power. The parameter is set at around 6 Nm, and does not change. Such features can be called disadvantages, but judging by the reviews, the tool is very durable and reliable, which is not surprising, given the brand's reputation and its vast experience in the production of electric tools.
1 BOSCH IXO 5 basic
Country: Germany (made in Hungary)
Average price: 2 900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
If Bosch undertakes the production of electric tools, you can be sure of its high quality. This is evidenced by numerous reviews on the network, including those left for this model of cordless screwdriver. It is almost impossible to find negative comments, although, looking at the technical specifications, you understand that there is nothing extraordinary in the screwdriver.
The torque is located in the range from 3 to 4.5 Nm. This is quite enough for comfortable work, and the compact form factor adds convenience.The tool is small and weighs only 300 grams, although the handle does not turn, which can be called a disadvantage. The battery is also not the most powerful. Only 1.5 milliamps per hour, and a full charge is enough for about 3 hours of continuous operation at maximum load. Full charge time is 3 hours, and it is carried out via the USB cable supplied in the kit. In general, this model does not have outstanding characteristics, but judging by the reviews, this is the best choice, moreover, at a very attractive price, at least for Bosch.
