I get a lot of pushback because of the fact that I use entry-level (inexpensive) drills. You’ll either see me using a Ryobi drill or a Craftsman drill, and frankly I’m happy with them. They do the job I need them to do, and they didn’t break the bank. I didn’t choose these drills because I’m cheap. I invest in plenty of tools when I think the added features are worth the cost. But when it comes to drills, I just don’t believe that more expensive is better. Am I wrong? Well, today I’m putting some of the most popular brands to the test to find out (Milwaukee, DeWalt, Festool, Ridgid, Ryobi and Craftsman). And I can tell you know, you’ll be surprised to find out which one is the best cordless drill of 2023!
