Overview of drills from Bosch, Makita, Metabo and more
A good drill is an indispensable tool for both DIY enthusiasts and professional craftsmen. Whether you need to hang pictures, assemble furniture or build a wooden deck, it’s important to choose a machine that suits your needs. The market offers many models with different features, performance levels and price ranges – from compact battery-powered machines to powerful hammer drills.
In this article, you’ll get an overview of what to consider when choosing a drill, as well as an introduction to different types and manufacturers worth knowing about.
The article presents a wide selection of drills from well-known manufacturers such as Bosch, Makita and Metabo, as well as other relevant brands. The aim is to provide an informative overview of features, areas of use and price levels, so you can more easily find a model that matches your projects. The product information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to give a clear picture of the most important characteristics.
Factors to consider when buying a drill
When choosing a drill, there are several factors to consider – in terms of performance, comfort and use.
1. Power supply: corded or battery
Corded drills provide constant power and are well suited for longer tasks where you have access to electricity. Battery-powered models offer greater freedom of movement and are ideal for work in places without power. Pay attention to battery capacity and charging time if you choose a cordless model.
2. Torque and speed
The torque determines how effectively the machine can drill into hard materials such as metal and concrete. Adjustable speeds make it possible to adapt the machine to different materials and tasks, providing better control and precision.
3. Ergonomics and weight
A drill should feel comfortable in your hand, especially during prolonged use. Lightweight models are easier to handle for repetitive tasks, while heavier machines often have more power. Also consider the design of the grip and the placement of the control buttons.
4. Extra features
Some drills have a built-in hammer function, which makes it easier to drill into masonry and concrete. Others have LED lights, torque settings or quick-change chucks. These features can increase both comfort and efficiency, depending on your needs.
5. Price and quality
The price varies depending on brand, power and features. Cheaper models often cover basic needs, while more expensive machines offer higher performance and longer lifespan. Consider how often you use the tool and then choose a model that gives the best value for money.

Different types of drills
There are several types of drills, each designed for specific purposes and materials.
1. Standard drill
The classic drill is suitable for lighter tasks such as drilling in wood, plastic and thin metal. It is easy to use and available as both corded and battery-powered models.
2. Hammer drill
The hammer drill combines rotation with a hammering action, making it possible to drill into harder materials such as brick and concrete. It’s a good choice for both home projects and renovation work.
3. Drill/driver
A drill/driver can both drill and screw, making it versatile for assembly work and furniture building. It is often battery-powered and available in many sizes and power levels.
4. Rotary hammer
For heavier tasks such as drilling in concrete or stone, the rotary hammer is the right choice. It has a more powerful hammer mechanism and is often used by professional craftsmen.
5. Angle drill
This type is designed for drilling in tight spaces where regular machines cannot reach. It is typically used in installation work and carpentry projects.
Different brands of drills
The drill market is characterised by several strong manufacturers, each with their own focus and strengths.
Bosch
Bosch offers a wide range of drills for both private and professional users. The range spans from compact models to powerful hammer drills. Bosch is known for solid build quality, user-friendliness and reliable performance.
Makita
Makita is a popular choice among craftsmen and DIY enthusiasts. The brand focuses on powerful motors, ergonomic design and a large selection of battery-powered machines that can share battery systems across tool types.
Metabo
Metabo is known for robustness and long lifespan. Their drills are aimed especially at professionals who need high performance and precision. Many models feature advanced safety and vibration-damping functions.
Dewalt
Dewalt produces powerful and durable drills that are often used in the construction industry. They are known for their ergonomic design and efficient battery technology, which provides long operating time.
Ryobi
Ryobi primarily targets the DIY market and offers affordable drills with good functionality. Their ONE+ battery system makes it possible to use the same battery across many tools.
Frequently asked questions
Which drill should I choose for woodworking?
For general woodworking, a standard drill/driver is often sufficient. If you work with hardwood, a model with higher torque and adjustable speed can be an advantage.
Can I use a hammer drill for all materials?
A hammer drill can be used for most materials, but the hammer function should only be activated when drilling into masonry and concrete. For wood and metal, you should turn off the function to avoid damaging the material.
How much power do I need?
For lighter tasks such as furniture assembly, 12–18 volt battery drills are often enough. For heavier tasks such as drilling into concrete, you should choose a more powerful model of 18 volts or more.
How do I maintain my drill?
Keep the machine clean and remove dust after use. Lubricate the chuck occasionally and store batteries in a dry place at room temperature. Also check that the drill bits are sharp and in good condition.
What does Ah mean on the battery?
Ah (ampere-hours) indicates the battery’s capacity. The higher the number, the longer you can work on a single charge. A 4.0 Ah battery typically lasts twice as long as a 2.0 Ah battery.
