The ⅜-inch chuck should be more than suitable for most people, but if you intend to work on porches, decks, or other projects where you need larger holes, the ½-inch chuck will do a better job. Most of the drills on this list accept a ⅜-inch chuck, but there are a few ½-inch chucks as well. A larger chuck can drill larger holes and can take on bigger jobs. The chuck size is important because it determines how large a bit you can fit into the drill. You will need to decide if there is enough value to justify the added weight, but for most home DIY repairs, a lightweight drill will work perfectly. We feel that anything over 5 pounds is quite heavy for a drill, and that’s how we called it in our reviews. A fraction of a pound can make a big difference, especially if you have an extended work session. In our opinion, weight is more important than speed because there are many times you need to hold the drill at a strange angle or use it hunched over or above the shoulders. Anything over 500 RPM should be more than suitable for drilling holes and driving screws.Ī downside to having a drill with a high RPM is that it can be difficult to use them to drive screws because they turn so fast they slip off the head. Higher RPM is nice, but it’s not as necessary as many people think, unless you need a specific RPM for a job you are undertaking. The next thing most people look at is the speed, and you can tell how fast your drill can go by looking at the RPM.
