TOOLS BUYING GUIDE

A cordless drill under €150: what does the budget buy?

At this price, the key choice is often between a complete kit with battery and charger and a bare tool for a battery platform you already own.

AFFORDABLE START

Bosch EasyDrill 18V-38

FOR THE RYOBI PLATFORM

Ryobi ONE+ HP RDD18C1-0

COMPLETE KIT

Bosch EasyImpact 18V-40

An option for someone starting without an existing battery platform. Always ask the retailer whether the particular kit includes a battery, charger and case.

What should you check before ordering?

Check kit contents first, then torque, then price. If you plan to buy more cordless tools later, staying within the same battery platform may reduce future costs.

Two buyers with the same budget

Buyer A: you do not already own a compatible battery or charger. Compare ready-to-use totals and kit contents. Buyer B: you already have a working Ryobi ONE+ battery and charger. A bare tool may then be a less expensive addition, provided compatibility is confirmed. These are examples of buying situations, not claims about today's cheapest model.

Do not assume the 'under €150' title applies to every kit right now. Calculate the combined cost of the drill, battery and charger and check the current price with the retailer.
