If you’re just looking to dip your toes into the world of DIY, the Terratek 13pc Cordless Combi Drill Set is a solid staple to include in your toolbox. There won’t be any reason to delay your DIY thanks to the fully-loaded set that includes a drill bit adaptor, six drill bits, and six screwdriver bits to cover all your basic tasks like hanging up photo frames and putting together cabinets.

It might not be ideal for the bigger jobs, but it’s the fact that this cordless drill is such a handy tool to have in your arsenal that has made it one of the top-rated cordless drills with our customers.

When it comes to power tools, you want equipment you know you can trust - and with Bosch tools, you get exactly that! Their PSR 1800 Li-2 18V Cordless Two-Speed Drill/Driver is a durable and dependable cordless combi drill that’s ideal for taking on everyday DIY tasks, as well as slightly bigger outdoor renovations like building a brand new shed for the back garden. 

While it comes in towards the upper end of the cordless combi drill price range, you know it’s going to be up to the challenge and will last you for years to come. Chances are you’ve seen the iconic green of a Bosch drill in a relative’s garage or tool shed - that’s because everyone knows Bosch is a name you can trust and they have years of satisfying customers to back that up! An added bonus if you buy Bosch; their batteries are transferable and can be shared between the other compatible cordless tools in their range.

While you won’t necessarily be buying a cordless drill with confidence in an experienced brand name, you are guaranteed a great cordless drill deal on a product that has proved hugely popular with OnBuy customers. This set is packed with accessories, so you’ve got everything you need for your home renovations in one handy box - after all, we’ve all experienced the immense irritation of getting started on a DIY task, only to then realise you’re missing the right screwdriver head or correctly sized drill bit!

Likewise, the 21V Cordless Combi Drill with Hammer & Electric Screwdriver Set comes with two batteries included, meaning there’s always one available if you run out of charge. Other features on the seemingly infinite list of additions include a built-in iron sheet that allows use as a hammer - practically the Swiss army knife of cordless combi drills!

For the heavy-duty jobs in your home renovations, you’re going to need a cordless hammer drill. These create a hammering motion to power through tough brickwork and concrete - ideal for when you’re going big on the home improvements! You can depend on DeWalt - a subsidiary of the more widely known brand, Black & Decker - to deliver a durable and reliable drill. They’re a big name in the construction, manufacturing, and woodworking industries, but thanks to OnBuy, you can use their sturdy tools to power through your home renovations.

Because of the extra power you get with cordless hammer drills, it’s harder to find great cordless drill deals here. But with the DeWalt Cordless SDS Plus Hammer Drill & Chisel DCH273P2-GB, you get great value power tools with an 18V lithium-ion battery, multi-voltage charger, and a heavy-duty kit box to keep it protected and in great condition for years to come.
