What to look out for when purchasing a cordless screwdriver

Cordless tools are available in a variety of price ranges and models, each differing significantly in features. Whether you need a screwdriver for occasional use at home, for skilled DIY projects, or for professional applications, there is a suitable model for everyone. Below, we’ll show you what to look for when making your purchase.

Battery and Quality

An important factor to consider when buying a cordless screwdriver is the battery selection. The higher the battery capacity, the longer you can work uninterrupted on your projects. While a 2.0 Ah Power X-Change battery is sufficient for simple screwdriving tasks, you should opt for a battery with higher capacity when impact drilling in tough materials. Power X-Change batteries are available with capacities of up to 8 Ah and can be swapped at any time, enabling you to complete even time-intensive tasks with ease. Additionally, the quality of the tool is crucial, as power tools are exposed to high levels of stress. High-quality construction using durable materials and an efficient motor is therefore essential for long-lasting performance.

Performance, Bits, and Additional Features

The performance of the cordless tool is another crucial factor. The higher the power – particularly the rotational speed and torque – the faster and deeper you can drill into harder materials. It is also advantageous if the torque can be adjusted in multiple settings to suit different applications. The tool should feature a robust chuck, ideally a metal quick-action drill chuck, for quick and easy tool changes. A magnetic bit holder further ensures swift replacement of various screwdriver bits. Additional features, such as an integrated light, make working in dark corners significantly easier, adding convenience and efficiency to your projects.

Functionality

It is highly advisable to consider in advance what you intend to use the screwdriver for. For versatile projects, a cordless drill driver or an impact drill driver is a better choice than a standard cordless screwdriver, as these tools can screw, drill, and, depending on the model, even perform impact drilling. A 2-speed gearbox allows you to adjust the tool’s power based on the application. The first gear operates at a low rotational speed but with maximum torque, making it ideal for driving long wood screws or working on harder materials where greater force is needed. The second gear, or “high-speed mode”, achieves a higher rotational speed with reduced torque. This is perfect for drilling into wood, driving small screws quickly, or drilling into masonry when combined with the impact function.

Tips for how to get the most out of your cordless screwdriver

Minimal effort, maximum efficiency

With Einhell cordless screwdrivers, you can fasten screws into various materials in no time. However, not every cordless screwdriver is suitable for all your projects, as the models differ in their functionality. While a simple cordless screwdriver is ideal for fastening screws in wood and plastic, a cordless drill driver also allows you to drill.
