The most powerful cordless screwdrivers

Battery-powered screwdrivers do not restrict the work area, and the absence of a wire hanging from the handle helps to perform faster manipulations under the ceiling. The presence of two batteries will allow you to work all day, subject to alternate recharging. In order for such a tool to be powerful and twist self-tapping screws 100-120 mm long, its battery must have an indicator in volts from 14 V. The higher this parameter, the more torque the motor will create. But the twisting force also depends on the configuration of the gearbox, so models with a lower voltage sometimes surpass analogs with a higher one. Here is a ranking of the best products in this category.

Hitachi WH14DDL

Rating: 4.9

Hitachi WH14DDL

The leader in our rating is a Japanese model from the renowned Hitachi brand. The body is made in traditionally black and green colors, reminiscent of a lizard. The handle and back of the screwdriver are covered with rubber pads to reduce slipping in the hand. The power of the tool is achieved by a battery with a voltage of 14.4 V. This allows the tool to be spinned up to 3000 rpm. In addition, the powerful model is capable of hitting 3300 per minute, which makes it easier to unscrew old fasteners. The product has a hex chuck for the same bits. The Li-lon battery does not 'remember' the discharge levels, so its energy can be replenished at any convenient moment. Buyers in the reviews like the length of the screwdriver 128 mm, which is practical when assembling shelves and drawers of desks.

The model got into the rating of the best, because it is in the lead in terms of power – despite the voltage of 14.4 V, the screwdriver has a maximum torque of 167 Nm. Brushless technology promotes long motor and contact life. Two batteries in a set with a capacity of 4.0 Ah will provide everything you need for continuous operation.

Advantages

  • clip for hanging on a belt;
  • short length of 128 mm is optimal for accessing narrow spaces;
  • secure battery attachment through the 'slider' configuration;
  • there is a drawstring for putting on the wrist;
  • built-in backlight.

disadvantages

  • the battery case interferes with the free manipulation of the tool;
  • the hexagonal chuck does not grip the tooling – it can fall out when turning over;
  • the diode shines below the bit.

Rating: 4.8

Milwaukee M18 FDD-0

The second place in the rating is taken by a powerful screwdriver from an American manufacturer. The product has a torque stiffness of 135 Nm and is powered by an 18 V battery, which is not supplied. With such potential, the tool is suitable for working with screws with a diameter of 10 mm, which is what the craftsmen like in the reviews. The developers have equipped it with a keyless chuck, which fixes the drill diameter from 1.5 to 13 mm. Another advantage of the screwdriver is the presence of two speeds with a maximum of 550 and 2000 revolutions, helping to quickly change modes for continuous processes. The torque is regulated in terms of power in steps from 1 to 24.

Our experts have ranked this powerful screwdriver because it has the intelligent Redlink Plus system. This is the latest digital overload protection for the battery and the instrument itself. Thanks to intelligent control, the screwdriver performs better under load. This product is also compatible with any battery of the same brand, so Milwaukee owners do not have to buy anything.

Some use the model on ice fishing to drill ice, where it can handle 1m thick.

We ranked this powerful screwdriver as it is great for tough building conditions.

Two batteries with a 5.0 Ah capacity each contribute to long-term operation. A powerful tool capable of drilling a 76 mm diameter hole in wood with a crown.

We have included the product in the rating because the charger is equipped with a sound notification about the end of the process. This is convenient for a spacious furniture workshop, so that you do not have to go to check the color of the LED every time, but only respond to the sound signal.

This helps to reduce the length of the cabinet and allows easy access to the furniture niches. If you need to fix the drill, then the cartridge is put on.

According to our experts, the product has earned a place in the rating due to impulse technology. Although the screwdriver does not have an impact function, the impulse rotation allows for easy unscrewing of old fasteners. It also makes it easier to start drilling on smooth surfaces. Powerful four-band motor increases productivity.

In our opinion, a powerful screwdriver deserves a place in the rating due to accurate illumination, which is confirmed by numerous reviews. Buyers say the diodes accurately send a beam of light into the work area. This will come in handy for those who often spin their rigs in poorly lit rooms.

The most powerful corded screwdrivers

Network screwdrivers are not limited in time of use. They do not need to be charged and the twisting force is independent of the capacity of the power source. When choosing, it is important to pay attention to the power indicator displayed in watts. But the presence of a network cable limits the operator's maneuverability, so such equipment is suitable for stationary work in a workshop or for repairs in only one room.

Milwaukee DWSE 4000 Q

Rating: 4.9

Milwaukee DWSE 4000 Q

In this category of the rating of the most powerful network screwdrivers, the leading position is taken by a product from an American brand. The model is distinguished by the presence of an adjustable screw depth, which is practical for drywall installers, so as not to damage the fragile surface with caps. The screwdriver has a power of 725 W, which exceeds the performance of most competitors. The hex chuck is suitable for direct bit insertion. Other accessories (whisk for mixing the solution) with a diameter of 6.35 mm can be inserted into it. The torque stiffness is standard and is 20 Nm. This allows screws up to 4 mm in diameter to be screwed in. The powerful motor spins the spindle up to 4000 rpm.

We put the screwdriver in the rating because of the narrow chuck, which facilitates a good view of the working area and penetration into hard-to-reach places. The powerful model also has a metal gearbox, so the product is better suited for building conditions and gives off heat faster. The side key helps to lock the start button to relieve stress on the index finger during extended spindle rotation.

  • cable 4 m long;
  • there is a belt brace;
  • the set includes a nozzle holder;

On the second step of the rating is a powerful screwdriver from the German company Bosch. It has a power of 701 W and a twisting force of 12 Nm. At the same time, the model weighs only 1.4 kg, which makes it more convenient when manipulating at height. Buyers in reviews praise the product for a wide clip for fixing it on the belt. Unlike the competition, this screwdriver grips firmly and won't fall out when walking or climbing stairs. To relieve stress on the index finger, the trigger key is side-locked. The spacious case is practical for storing tools and accessories in one place. It can easily fit a power strip.

In our opinion, the product deserves a place in the ranking of the best due to the presence of an additional MA 55 nozzle, which is put on the cartridge.
