Always choose the right bits for the material you’re working with, e.g. those designed specifically for drilling masonry or wood as well as for the drill driver or impact drill you’re using. The drill itself is pretty standard fare, most of these cheaper drills use the same or similar components. There really isn’t much to see inside one of these drills. Inside the terratek drill Terratek haven’t gone down the 12V route compared with the Hychika cordless drill I tested, they’re using full power 18 Volt batteries in their cordless drills. The Terratek 18V Lithium-Ion Cordless Drill comes with thirteen different accessories to use, giving you unparalleled drilling flexibility. There are six drill bits to use with various materials, while six screwdriver heads mean you'll never encounter a screw that you can't screw in. A screwdriver bit adaptor rounds out the collection.
Ease of transport aside, there is a bit of a problem with this device. Terratek rate it as a 3 – 5 hour charger. That’s an awfully long time when you consider that this is just an 800 mAh battery, or 0.8 Ah. These are the standard components of any drill really and are what define the quality of the drill. So if we are digging a little deeper and trying to find out where this drill is made we can look at some of the components, the only easily identifiable component I could find was the motor. The Motor Terratek are so proud of the battery that goes into their Terratek 18V Lithium-Ion Cordless Drill that they put it in the name. The lithium-ion battery can be recharged hundreds of times and is more stable than an ordinary lithium battery. So, you're sure to be drilling holes for years to come with this Terratek drill. Finally consider any accessories you may need. Most bits come with a case but these can range from simple plastic holders to fully bespoke moulded cases with a carry handle. 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!
Terratek don't want you to suffer any accidents while using their equipment. So, they've paid a great deal of attention to the ergonomics of this Terratek cordless drill. The pistol grip is easy to hold and textured to stop it slipping from your hands as you drill. This electric drill is light, too - weighing only 1kg, and is easy to hold for hours at a time.Titanium, or titanium nitride - HSS drill bits are often coated with titanium nitride, also known as TiN, to boost their surface hardness and durability.
Some DIYers and heavy tool users wouldn’t last a week with a little drill like this. None of the parts are massively sturdy and it’s not the most powerful of the cordless drills I’ve tested. However, for the price, it’s a whole lot of drill! Looking through their product catalogue I couldn’t find a drill that matched the Terratek exactly so it looks like this is a unique design for Terratek, but I am fairly confident we have found the manufacturer. So who makes Terratek toolsWhat’s interesting about this drill’s design is more about what’s not there. You don’t get two gears to select from but the plastic moulding on top shows where it should be. Also, you don’t get a battery level indicator, but the plastic moulding on the side shows where one should be. They’re not deal-breakers for a drill at this price, but it shows that the parts are simply taken off the shelf and put together.
