How to Choose a 12V Cordless Combi Drill: Buying Guide

✅ Why Choose a 12V Cordless Combi Drill

The 12V combination drill (or compact hammer drill) is the ideal choice for those looking for lightness, manageability and multifunctionality in a single tool. It offers three functions in one:

✔️ Screwing

✔️ Drilling on wood and metal

✔️ Percussion drilling on light masonry

Despite the reduced voltage compared to 18V, modern 12V models (especially Brushless) guarantee performance excellent for precision work, in tight spaces or overhead.

🔍 What Can A 12V Combi Drill Do?

🪛 Screwing screws and bolts → furniture, brackets, small systems

🛠️ Drilling wood and metal → beams, tubes, sheets

🧱 Drilling with percussion → perforated bricks, lightweight masonry, tiles

⚙️ Features to Consider When Choosing

🔋 Drums

  • 12V Lithium (Li-Ion), light and compact
  • Recommended capacity:
    • 1.5–2.0Ah → short jobs, light weight
    • 2.5–4.0Ah → continuous use, greater autonomy
  • Compatibility with modular platforms (e.g. Bosch 12V System, Makita CXT, DeWalt XR 12V, etc.)

💪 Tightening torque (Nm)
