Top 10 Best Cordless Rotarys
for June 2023

When it comes to rotary tools, cordless models have the upper hand. They allow you to move around freely, without the worry of cords getting in the way. Plus, cordless rotarys are lighter and easier to control, making them ideal for DIY projects.

Cordless rotary tools come in a few different types, including hammer drills and impact drills. Our cordless rotary tool reviews evaluate different features, such as power, speed, battery run time, and battery capacity. We also test the battery life and run time.

Our top pick is the Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/2 in. Drill Driver Kit. It offers a wide range of speeds, from 0-2,400 rpm, and a 1,500-rpm maximum torque. The drill driver kit includes a 2.0Ah battery, which delivers up to 90 minutes of run time, and a 1/2 in. hammerdrill, which delivers 1,650 in. lbs. of maximum torque. The kit also includes an M18 FUEL 18V 1.0Ah battery and a M18 FUEL 2.0Ah battery.
