CNET's top pick for 12V drills and a consistent expert favorite. Explosive performance in a small package — it topped performance scores across the board while staying under $100.
The Bosch PS31 is the rare budget pick that doesn't feel like a compromise. Two 2.0 Ah batteries, a 21-stage clutch, and battery life that routinely outlasts 18V competitors — it's the smart buy for most homeowners.

“Although it's a 12-volt model, it has plenty of speed, with a maximum of 1,300 rpm, and with 265 inch-pounds of torque, it also has plenty of power. In our tests, this drill drove screws easily, and the clutch was sensitive to seating screws at the right depth.”
