The 2 Best Small Cordless Drills December, 2024, In The UK (And 17 Other Models)
This list presenting the latest small cordless drills includes only drill drivers available in The UK that satisfy these specs:
- In our book, small drills must fit in tight places, which means they must be short, with an overall length of no more than roughly 7 1/2 inches (or 19cm)
- A light weight is also a factor, so we limited this list to models weighing less than 52 ounces (or roughly 1.5Kg)
- AlphaChooser currently only covers cordless drills, so all models shown here are cordless (but most small drills are cordless anyway)
