Greenworks 1/2-Inch Brushless Cordless Drill

Highlights

When a home repair calls for drilling and screwdriving, switching between tools or working around a cord can slow the job down. This Greenworks 24V drill combines a 1/2-inch keyless chuck, two speed settings, and an 18+1-position clutch for handling holes and fasteners in wood, metal, and other materials. Its brushless motor is paired with a 2.0Ah USB-C battery, a 30W charger, and a braided cable, so the kit includes both the drill and charging gear. That makes it a practical setup for furniture assembly, small repairs, or a few holes in a project—not automatically the right pick for every workload.

The drill is rated at 400 in-lbs. of torque, with speeds of 0–450 RPM and 0–2,000 RPM. The lower setting gives you more control for driving screws, the higher one is suited to drilling when you need to move faster. Use the clutch to limit driving force as you work, especially when a screw is nearing the surface. The product description also claims a brushless motor runs cooler and extends tool life, but those claims shouldn’t replace matching the drill to the material and task.

Size & fit

At a listed 2.28 lbs., the drill is intended to be manageable during extended use, and the built-in LED light can help illuminate a dim cabinet or work area. The product is also described as 35% more compact, although no overall dimensions are provided, so there’s no way to judge its exact fit in a particularly cramped space. Keep in mind that the included battery is 2.0Ah: that’s a defined capacity, not a promise of all-day runtime, and frequent or demanding drilling may call for charging breaks.

Tips for day-to-day use

For a shelf repair, for example, you can set the clutch low while driving screws into wood, then switch to the faster setting when drilling pilot holes. Start with a gentler clutch setting and increase it only if the screw isn’t seating as needed, this helps avoid driving it too far. For metal or a less familiar material, work carefully rather than assuming the same speed and clutch position will suit every job.

The USB-C battery supports both input and output, and the listing describes it as a 12,000mAh power bank. The included 30W charger is presented as a USB-C charger for other devices as well. If you already own Greenworks 24V tools, the battery is listed as compatible with more than 200 tools in that range, which could make the kit more useful than a drill-only purchase. If you don’t, that ecosystem benefit may matter less.

Before you decide

What comes in the kit? The listed bundle includes the drill, a 2.0Ah USB-C battery, a 3.3-foot braided cable, and a 30W charger.

Can it drill and drive screws? Yes. The product is specified for drilling holes and driving screws, with a two-speed transmission and an 18+1-position clutch.

Does the battery work with other tools? The listing says it is compatible with more than 200 Greenworks 24V tools. Check that your existing tool is part of that platform before relying on battery sharing.

Is it worth it?

It makes sense if you want one cordless tool for routine drilling and screwdriving, value USB-C charging, or can use the battery with other Greenworks 24V tools. Compared with buying a simpler drill kit, this bundle adds a brushless motor, a power-bank feature, and a charger that can serve other USB-C devices. You may want to skip it if your work regularly demands longer runtime or you need exact dimensions to confirm access in a very tight space, the listed 2.0Ah capacity and missing measurements leave those points unresolved.
