ᐅ Alternative to a cordless drill?

Hello,

Since I now need to make about 40 holes in my home for lamps, shelves, etc., my cordless screwdriver is not sufficient.

Unfortunately, it runs out of power after about 1 hour, and it takes me quite a bit of time to drive in each screw.

Are there any cordless screwdrivers that, for example, allow for mains power operation? Or are those impact drivers any good? I would really prefer a tool that can be plugged in, as I basically have access to electricity wherever I’m working.

Looking forward to your advice.

2. Battery?

How about using a drill for drilling and a cordless screwdriver for driving screws, just as originally intended?
The drill should preferably be a hammer drill.

A reliable branded tool with 2 batteries, for example in blue with 18 volts and 4.0 Ah. It is powerful and has good endurance. The second battery can be fully charged in half an hour.

It should last a DIYer’s entire lifetime.

Our blue one has already lasted through the entire house renovation. A second battery is all you need. Plus, the small green one in the toolbox for fiddly jobs in some corners. That way you are well equipped.

A cordless drill driver for drilling holes in solid reinforced concrete walls? That’s a nightmare! Get a hammer drill with proper drill bits and then drive the screws in using the cordless drill driver.

And yes, there are cordless impact drivers, but they’re not designed to drill into thick walls. I have a Makita 18V cordless impact driver and it struggles with solid ceilings. With my dad’s corded impact drill, I can make the hole in 5 seconds. These tools aren’t that expensive either. For DIY users, for example, the green Bosch range is usually sufficient.
