Best cordless impact drills
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 2, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: DeWalt 20V MAX High-Torque DCF860. 2,500 in-lbs of brushless torque in a compact body — enough for lag bolts and deck screws on a jobsite, still easy to handle around the house, and it runs on the 20V MAX batteries most people already own.
Who the others suit:
- Milwaukee M18 Fuel 2953 — the pro's choice if you're already on M18: fast, short, and built for daily trade use.
- Ridgid 18V Brushless R862312 — the most torque here; good for heavy framing and covered by Ridgid's lifetime service agreement.
- DeWalt DCF809B — a light, cheap bare tool for occasional home jobs.
- Bosch GDR18V-1950 — smooth, compact and quiet-ish for cabinet and finish work.
- Milwaukee M12 Fuel — the smallest and lightest; ideal for furniture and light repairs.
- Metabo HPT 36V WH36DCM — top-rated for the heaviest jobsite duty.
Skip the DeWalt Quiet Hydraulic DCF870 unless noise matters more than power — it's built for low-noise fastening, not heavy driving.
