Is the Hyper Tough 12V drill worth it?

For light home repairs and occasional use, yes. It costs little and comes with a battery and charger. If you drill into studs or work on projects often, a 20V drill is a better buy.

Can it drill into walls or masonry?

It can handle drywall and light wood. With only 130 in-lb of torque and a 3/8-inch chuck, it is not suited to concrete, brick or heavy timber.

How long does the battery last?

The 1.5 Ah battery gives short runtime, roughly enough for small jobs like assembling furniture. Expect to recharge between bigger tasks, and the charger takes about 30 minutes.

What comes in the box?

The drill, one 12V 1.5 Ah lithium-ion battery and a battery charger. Bits are not included.

Does it work with other Hyper Tough 12V batteries?

It uses Hyper Tough's 12V Max battery platform, so other 12V Max Hyper Tough batteries should fit. Check the battery label before buying spares.

Our take on the Hyper Tough 12V Max Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8-inch Drill Driver

The Hyper Tough 12V Max is a basic cordless drill driver sold at Walmart, with a 3/8-inch keyless chuck, a single 700 rpm speed range and 130 in-lb of torque. It is a light, cheap tool for hanging shelves, assembling furniture and light repairs around the house. The kit includes one 1.5 Ah battery and a charger that refills it in about 30 minutes. It sits at the low end of the cordless drill market, well below 18V and 20V models in power.
