Best Cordless Drill Under £40 UK Reviews

Thanks for taking your time to read our reviews of the best cordless drill under £40 in the UK marketplace. The average price for a cordless drill with a battery is around £90-100. However if you look closely you can find cheaper drills that are still great quality

Many buyers in the UK know they need a cordless drill, but they just don't want to spend a fortune on buying one. We have done a lot of research and we fully understand the sensitivity of price points.

A lot of cordless drills are sold as "tool only." That means you can use an existing battery that you may own from another cordless tool of the same brand. However those can cost as much as the drill itself.

We wanted to find you a cordless drill with the battery included and perhaps a few accessories to get you started. The good news is that we did.

Those are the best cordless drills under £40 that we could find on the UK market. As we mentioned at the beginning, drill/drivers have an average price point of £90-100 for a well known tool brand.

For that type of money, you get a drill/driver packed full of features, and will include hammer functions for drilling through masonry.

These cheaper drills are basic, but you do get everything you need in the kits.
