AVID POWER Cordless Drill 20V

What matters most

For homeowners and first-time DIYers handling furniture assembly, small repairs, and occasional projects, this AVID POWER cordless drill is built around simple, controlled screwdriving rather than heavy-duty work.

Its 3/8-inch keyless chuck lets you change bits without a separate chuck key, while variable speed up to 550 RPM and 15+1 torque settings give you room to adjust for different screws and materials. That control can help when fastening a screw into a cabinet panel: start slowly, then increase pressure without immediately risking a stripped head.

The kit includes 22 accessories, including drill bits, driver bits, a flexible shaft, and an extension bar. A built-in LED is useful when working inside a dim cabinet or in a tight corner. The stated 2.5-pound weight and rubberized grip also suit shorter household jobs where a larger tool may feel cumbersome.

Best use cases

This set is aimed at furniture assembly, home repairs, crafts, and drilling in wood, drywall, plastic, or metal. It offers more flexibility than a basic manual screwdriver when a project involves multiple fasteners, and the flexible shaft can help reach screws in awkward spots. If you mostly need a drill for occasional household tasks, the included bits mean you can get started without assembling a separate accessory kit.

Keep in mind that the maker says it is not intended for concrete or masonry walls, and it is not for drill bits larger than 25 mm. That rules it out for some renovation work and larger-hole drilling. Its 3/8-inch chuck and stated drilling limits point to a home-project tool, not a substitute for a more demanding drill setup.

Tips for day-to-day use

Choose a torque setting that matches the fastener and material, and begin at a slower speed when driving screws into furniture. The LED can help you line up the bit in a shadowed cabinet, while the extension bar may be useful when a screw sits just beyond the chuck’s reach. For a quick furniture build, keep the driver bits close by and switch to a drill bit only when you need to make a hole.

The battery has a real-time charge display, so you can check its level before starting a task. The maker says to fully charge it when received, remove it from the drill when stored, and recharge it every three months when not in use. It also specifies AVID POWER batteries only, do not use another brand’s battery or one with a larger capacity.

Before you decide

Can it drill into metal? The listed materials include metal, with a stated maximum capacity of 3/8 inch for steel plate. The maker also lists a maximum of 13/16 inch for wood.

What comes in the kit? The 22 accessories are listed as 10 drill bits, 10 driver bits, a flexible shaft, and an extension bar.

Is the battery interchangeable with other brands? No. The product information specifies an AVID POWER battery and warns against using batteries from other brands or with greater capacity.

Should you buy it?

It makes sense if you want one compact kit for routine assembly and light repair, and would rather have adjustable screw control and a selection of bits than buy a drill and accessories separately. You may want to skip it if your projects involve concrete, masonry, larger drill bits, or work beyond the stated drilling limits. For those jobs, a drill selected specifically for heavier materials is the more appropriate approach.
