When it comes to your tools, a drill set bundle has benefits way beyond the workshop. This is an all-in-one kit that every homeowner needs to have, whether you consider yourself handy or not.
Hanging pictures, as well as heavier items like mirrors and towel racks, are just the start. Here’s what to know and look for in a new drill set bundle.

Drill vs. Driver: When looking for the perfect drill set, you’ll notice both drills and drivers popping up a lot, and this can be confusing for beginners. A drill holds a drill bit and spins, providing a smooth and even feel when working its way through wood and steel.
There’s a big difference in the bits too. For wood and steel, you’ll want a sharp bit to cut through the surface. But for drilling concrete, you’ll want a blunt-tipped bit, to chip away instead of slice. An impact drill has more of a hammering function to power through tough walls, but it can also be turned off and used as a regular drill in most cases. But trying to work your way through a concrete wall with a regular drill can burn it out. If you’re just doing some simple drilling into wood and steel, or installing some hanging screws around the house, a regular drill should work fine. For tougher materials like brick, you’ll need a driver with a hammer function.
Battery: A battery indicator gauge is extremely helpful too, so you’ll always know when it’s time to charge up. And if you need to get back to the job at hand quickly, go for a drill that can refuel fast (around 30 minutes). Having an automatic shutoff feature is a nice extra too, and ensures that it’s ready for when you pick it back up again.
Cord vs. Cordless: A cordless drill frees you up to do work anywhere – not just around the house, but far away from any outlet. The downside is keeping an eye on how much power remains in the battery, and when you’ll need to swap it out (or head back to a power source for recharging). If you’re planning on keeping your drill set primarily in one place, a unit with a power cable should work fine, with no worries about running low on juice.
Weight and Design: Drills have gotten lighter as technology improves, and that’s good news for your hands. Lightweight models, around a couple pounds, make it easier to work in tight spaces.
Ergonomics are something to consider if you’ll be using this frequently, as it needs to fit comfortably in your palm, otherwise you’ll be feeling the fatigue in your hands soon. A cushioned grip from a padded handle can also keep vibrations to a minimum.
One last tip: If you’ll be working outside, consider a drill that’s designed to handle the elements, and is sealed off against dust, snow, humidity, and moisture.
Here are our top recommendations for the best drill set bundles, which include all you’ll need for your home projects.
