The most common ones on the market are handheld drills. They are convenient, compact and lightweight. They come in two types: corded and cordless.
As the name suggests, corded drills must be connected to a power source. The power of corded drills generally ranges from 500 to 1300 watts, which is enough to drill through all types of materials. However, such drills are usually heavier than cordless drills. Therefore, they are not easy to handle, not practical, and their use is limited by the length of the cord.
Cordless drills, on the other hand, are lighter, easier to handle (due to the absence of a cord), and more compact than corded drills. Therefore, it is more convenient to work with such drills, as they guarantee you greater freedom of movement. Such drills are also cheaper than corded drills. However, cordless drills have a limited battery life, so they can only be used for a limited time. They are also less powerful than corded drills. The power of a cordless drill depends entirely on the voltage and strength of the battery.
It is worth noting that portable drills can also be equipped with an impact mode to drill through particularly hard materials. Almost all corded drills are equipped with an impact mode. You can find cordless impact drills, but this model will shorten the battery life.
