At some point everyone will be caught.
At the latest when you have cobbled together the first piece of furniture with a screwdriver and examined the blisters on your palms, it is clear: a cordless screwdriver is needed.
Finding your way through the jungle of cordless screwdrivers is not that easy.
There are not only models from a wide variety of manufacturers in a wide variety of colors, but also different performance classes.
You should therefore think in advance about what you actually want to do with the good piece.
But even if you know that, there is still an almost infinite selection of different models.
In order to shed light on this dark offer, the test portal AllesBeste tested cordless screwdrivers and divided them into three different “weight classes”.
In the test, the cordless screwdrivers ultimately had to show that they not only perform well on paper, but that they can also be used in practice.
Screws of different sizes had to be countersunk in the wood and ergonomics, handling and processing also played an important role in the test.
Cordless screwdriver in the test
The test portal AllesBeste 44 models tested.
To a certain extent, the flyweight are the 3.6 volt models.
Their natural habitat is the structure of the furniture, because this is where their strengths come into their own.
With its compact design and fully sufficient power for assembling furniture, any cabinet can be set up in no time with such a model.
In the smallest class of “furniture screwdrivers”, the Bosch Ixo (6th generation) was able to convince the most.
This is due on the one hand to the high quality workmanship of the little Bosch and on the other hand to the surprisingly high strength that it can develop.
In addition, there is no other cordless screwdriver that can offer such a long list of accessories.
But if you want to drill something, you should take a look at the 12-volt class.
With such a specimen you are already well equipped for most screwdriving and turning tasks in the household.
Here the Metabo PowerMaxx BS was able to convince the test editors of AllesBeste.
The mid-range device even countersunk screws that were almost larger than itself.
The top class of cordless drills are the 18-volt tools.
Here you will find a fine selection of ambitious do-it-yourself and professional tools that ensure that you no longer need (almost) a drill in private use.
In the test, the Makita DDF-482RFEB succeeded in relegating all of its competitors to the lower places.
The cordless screwdriver was able to convince in all disciplines and rightly secured first place.
More information and other recommended alternatives in each category can be found in the detailed review of AllesBeste.
