Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can compact drills handle effectively?
Compact drills work well with softwood, drywall, plastic, and thin metals for holes up to 1/4-inch diameter. They're excellent for driving screws up to about 3 inches in soft materials, but may struggle with dense hardwoods or masonry applications.
How long do the batteries typically last?
Battery runtime varies significantly based on the task, but expect 30-100 screws or several dozen small holes per charge in typical use. Lighter-duty tasks like assembling furniture will get more runtime than drilling into harder materials.
Are compact drills suitable as a primary drill for most homeowners?
For occasional use and light-duty tasks, compact drills can serve as primary tools. However, if you regularly work with larger fasteners, drill holes over 1/4-inch, or work with hardwoods and metals, you'll likely want a full-size drill for heavier tasks.
Can I use regular drill bits with compact drills?
Yes, compact drills accept standard drill bits and driver bits that fit their chuck size. However, avoid very long bits that may cause balance issues, and be aware that the reduced power may require slower drilling speeds and more patience with harder materials.
