Driving ten 70 mm long wood screws felt like it was pushing this little drill driver to the limit. It got there, but the motor had to work hard. Even though I had set the torque selector to 16, the maximum, it still engaged when the screw head hit the material. There’s no chance of burying the head! I was forced to put it into drill mode to remove the screws as well. Although it took a bit longer, I was happy to see the Terratek put the 150 mm long wood screw neatly into the timber!
The Terratek electric drill is more than capable of any DIY job you throw at it. 16 different torque settings mean that it can bore a clean hole in any material, whether that's wood, plastic or even metal. Plus, you'll stay in control thanks to the sensitive pressure trigger that decides the speed of this Terratek drill. Pull the trigger all the way to spin the drill bit up to 550rpm and pierce right through tough targets, or squeeze gently for a slower, precise drill through sensitive material. Choosing drill bits with appropriate toughness for the job is important, to avoid weak bits snapping mid-task and overspending on unnecessarily expensive bits. Drill bit material and coating will determine a bit's strength and durability. I honestly wasn’t sure there was going to be a drill in the box when it arrived at my front door. I couldn’t believe that a 13 piece drill driver set would fit into a box that measures just 22 x 20 x 70 mm! It started off the trend with this Terratek 18V cordless drill; small, lightweight, and with absolutely no frills. Drill bits are often treated or coated with additional materials to increase their durability, heat and stress resistance and to make them more effective at drilling and longer-lived.
Kingbird? Not Terratek? Let’s have a hunt and see if we can find out anything about kingbird. Well, we sure can, as it turns out they are a Chinese manufacturer of power tools.
Something I was really impressed by was the grip. I expected something a lot less comfortable and ergonomic, so it was a bit of a treat to get such a comfy handle. The rubberised overmoulding is in all the right places, and it fits my large hand like a glove! Drill bit materials make an enormous difference to their toughness and heat resistance. However, the most durable and heat resistant materials often tend to be more expensive, so consider the tasks you’re using drill bits for carefully before purchasing. The Terratek 18V Lithium-Ion Cordless Drill Set is supplied with a powerful 800mAh Li-ion battery which results in having no memory effect, no self-discharge and always ready for use. Peaking at 20V from a fresh charge the battery stabilises to 18V. The thread on the orange handled allthread that holds the extension in place has worn. Where can I find a replacement?
How to Maximize TERRATEK 18v Battery Performance?
The Terratek 13Pc combi drill 18V/20V is perfect for the most demanding of projects. With a battery and charger included, this drill driver has you covered. Plus, it is compliant with the EU Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC, and is manufactured without the use of cadmium. I think it’s down to the low speeds that this cordless drill is capable of. Maxing out at just 650 rpm, the drill is never spinning fast enough to make all that much noise. So, if you’re reaching for a tool at 2 am to put in a screw, this is a decent option!
