First drill in a flat
You need a battery and a charger in the box, and the work is timber, screws and a few wall plugs. A complete 44 Nm kit covers that without a separate pack purchase.
Einhell combi drill comparison 2026
The best Einhell combi drills, compared.
Top pick: TE-CD 18/2 Li-i +22 Best value: 44 Nm kit, 1 x 2.5 Ah – Cheapest complete kit with a battery, a charger and at least 1,000 reviews. Updated 22.10.2026.
Charlie White (Charlie DIYte)Expert source
A combi drill is the cordless tool many UK homes buy when one machine has to drill holes and drive screws. It has a keyless chuck, a numbered torque clutch and a hammer collar for light masonry, so you can fix shelves and set a few wall plugs. A plain drill-driver has no hammer collar, and a rotary hammer is a different machine for hard concrete. You judge a suitable combi drill by checks that still apply when the models change. A kit names the cells and the charger in the included-components line, while a body marked solo or without battery does not. Hammer mode should be written as impact drilling. Note the hard torque in newton-metres, whether brushless is named, and the chuck in millimetres, preferring a stated 13 mm metal chuck. Treat a speed figure in the tens of thousands as a blow rate unless the listing calls it spindle speed. On a UK socket the charger should be a BS 1363 fit. The [combi drill buying guide](/hub/drilling-and-accessories/einhell-combi-drill/sub/einhell-combi-drill-buying-guide) walks through that order.

The best Einhell combi drills in detail
Our view
Across 1,320 amazon.co.uk reviews at 4.7, the TE-CD 18/2 Li-i +22 is the kit people treat as a first household drill rather than a site tool. At £89.95 the included-components line lists one 2.5 Ah pack, a 3 A charger, an E-Box S and a 22-piece bit box, with a 13 mm chuck and 44 Nm. Reviewers praise battery life on ordinary jobs, a quick charge and an easy pack swap, and one buyer used it to replace an older Bosch. Brick still takes longer on the hammer setting, according to a UK review. The small bits in the 22-piece set snap, and the torque-setting numbers wear off. Brushless is not stated. One battery was faulty out of the box and had to be replaced.
Pros
- 13 mm chuck, E-Box S and 22 bits with one 2.5 Ah pack
- 4.7 from 1,320 reviews, the highest star line in this set
- Battery life and a quick charge on household jobs
- 20 torque settings stated in the bullets
Cons
- Brick is slower even on the hammer setting
- Small included bits snap and the setting numbers wear off
- Brushless is not stated
- One pack arrived faulty and had to be replaced
Best for: A first household drill when you want bits and a case in the same carton
Less suitable: Daily brickwork, or anyone who wants brushless stated on the listing

Across 3,042 amazon.co.uk reviews at 4.6, the TE-CD 18/40 Li-i +64 is the kit with the largest bit set in this comparison, listed at £110. You get two 2.0 Ah packs, a 3 A charger, a case and a bit collection the highlight calls both 64-piece and 69-piece. Reviewers report brick and wood as manageable, call it light for a starter kit, and mention a click when the bit seats. UK reviews say the charger arrived with a European two-pin plug and no adaptor, and one person charged it from a shaver socket. The speed cell prints 24,000 rpm, which sits in the catalogue’s blow-rate band rather than idle speed, and the metal-capacity cell prints 40 mm. Brushless is not stated, the case is described as a bit flimsy, and the hammer collar is fiddly to turn.
Pros
- Two 2.0 Ah packs, a case and a large bit set
- 4.6 from 3,042 reviews, the largest sample here
- 13 mm chuck stated on the listing
- Brick and wood described as manageable in UK reviews
Cons
- UK reviews report a two-pin charger and no adaptor
- Speed cell prints 24,000 rpm and metal capacity prints 40 mm
- Hammer collar described as fiddly; case a bit flimsy
- Brushless is not stated
Best for: A bit-heavy starter kit if you check the charger plug is BS 1363 before you rely on it
Less suitable: Anyone who cannot return a Euro plug, or who wants brushless stated

The TE-CD 18/50 Li-i BL Solo is £53.95 for the body only, and 2,215 amazon.co.uk reviews sit at 4.6. Owners run it on packs they already have, including a 5 Ah, and one review found more torque than a green Bosch they compared it with. The bullets state a brushless motor, an LED and impact drilling in masonry, stone and brick, at 50 Nm and 1,800 rpm. The technical table prints no chuck size, so you cannot confirm 13 mm from this listing. There is no battery, charger or case, so it will not run on its own. The torque clutch is described as very loud when it hits the preset, and one review mentions about half a second before the motor starts. A maintenance reviewer would not use this model on hard materials all day.
Pros
- Brushless 50 Nm body at £53.95 if you already own packs
- 4.6 from 2,215 reviews
- Impact drilling in masonry stated in the bullets
- LED called useful, and a 4 Ah pack felt comfortable in one review
Cons
- No battery, charger or case
- Chuck size is not printed
- Loud clutch at the preset, and a reported trigger delay
- Not treated as an all-day tool for hard materials
Best for: A second 50 Nm body for people who already own Power X-Change packs
Less suitable: A first drill with no battery at home, or a job that needs a printed chuck size

Common questions
Does this listing include a battery?
No. The title says without battery, and included components list the cordless drill only.

At £44 this 44 Nm kit is the cheapest complete set in the file: one 2.5 Ah pack and a charger, and no case, across 1,515 reviews at 4.6. Reviewers use it for shelves, shed repairs and light screwdriving, and one called it quieter than an older brushed drill. It takes the same Power X-Change packs as other Einhell tools. Brick is mixed, and one UK reviewer had little success there. Power is described as sluggish beyond light use, and one review says it is not for professional work. The technical table also prints 14 Nm beside the 44 Nm in the title and the bullets. Brushless is not stated. It is the best value here because it is the lowest complete kit with at least 1,000 reviews, not because it has the highest score.
Pros
- £44 with one 2.5 Ah pack and a charger
- 13 mm chuck and hammer mode stated
- 4.6 from 1,515 reviews
- Light enough for shelves and shed repairs in UK reviews
Cons
- No case in the box
- Mixed results in brick; sluggish beyond light use
- Table also prints 14 Nm beside 44 Nm
- One battery would not work after charging and the drill was returned
Best for: A first battery and charger for light home jobs on a tight budget
Less suitable: Hard brick and daily professional use

The TP-CD 18/80 Li-i BL Solo is a bare 80 Nm brushless body at £76.98, with 4.6 from 830 amazon.co.uk reviews. One UK review reports strong results in blue engineering block against a similar-price Ryobi, and another drilled half-inch steel with lubricant without a stall. A side handle and three modes are described as controllable, and maintenance users treat it as a step up from a brushed drill. There is no battery or charger in the box. The speed cell prints 28,800 rpm, which matches the blow-rate figure in the documentation rather than spindle speed, and the wood-capacity cell says 12 mm. The included-components line says impact driver while the drill type says combination drill. One chuck jammed on the third use, and the manual only said to centre the direction switch. It is noisy.
Pros
- 80 Nm, a 13 mm chuck, brushless and a side handle, with hammer stated
- Engineering block and steel reported in individual UK reviews
- 4.6 from 830 reviews
- A sensible body-only buy when packs are already at home
Cons
- No battery or charger
- Speed cell prints 28,800 rpm
- One line calls it an impact driver
- Chuck jammed on the third use in one report, and the tool is noisy
Best for: Heavier DIY when you already own Power X-Change packs
Less suitable: A first kit with no cells, or concrete chasing that needs an SDS hammer

The TP-CD 18/120 Li-i BL Solo lists 120 Nm, a 13 mm metal chuck and a brushless motor at £96.95, with no battery, across 607 amazon.co.uk reviews at 4.6. UK reviews describe brick and concrete holes with the right bit, and call it a clear step up from cheaper Einhell combis for heavy DIY. Wood and metal were easy for one reviewer, and the chuck and grip are praised. The motor is called gratey and the top switch is not smooth. One user said it lasted a few months of non-daily use, and customer service sent them back to the seller. A bullet about 20 sandpaper sheets does not belong to this drill. The bullets offer an extended three-year guarantee for Professional tools once you register, and a dearer trade brand is still preferred for the heaviest daily work.
Pros
- 120 Nm brushless body with a stated 13 mm chuck
- Brick depth with the right bit, in UK reviews
- 4.6 from 607 reviews
- Registration line for a three-year Professional guarantee
Cons
- No battery, charger or case
- A sandpaper bullet does not belong on this listing
- Gratey motor noise and a stiff top switch
- One early failure, with the buyer sent back to the seller
Best for: Heavy DIY when you already own a Power X-Change pack and will register the tool
Less suitable: All-day trade work in concrete, or a first purchase with no battery

The Professional 60 Nm kit, part 4514208, is £113.95 with brushless stated and 4.6 from 168 amazon.co.uk reviews. UK reviews praise torque and battery life, two reviewers compared it favourably with an older DeWalt, and one person drilled quartz stone. Included components list two 2.0 Ah packs, a charger, a side handle and a storage hook, while a bullet says two 4 Ah packs, a case and a stainless-steel tank that is not this drill. It feels heavy once the battery is fitted, in one review, and the forward-reverse switch is too easy to knock. Another review calls it a light plastic toy that stalls on a 5 mm hole in mild steel, with chuck run-out. The speed cell prints 32,000 rpm. Treat the 2.0 Ah components line as the one to believe, not the 4 Ah bullet.
Pros
- 60 Nm with brushless and a 13 mm chuck stated
- Torque and battery life praised in a small UK sample
- Side handle and storage hook on the components line
- 4.6 from 168 reviews
Cons
- Amp-hour clash: components say 2.0 Ah, a bullet says 4 Ah
- A tank bullet describes a product that is not this drill
- Direction switch is easy to catch; one stall in mild steel
- £113.95 with a much smaller review count than the big kits
Best for: A 60 Nm Professional kit if you check the carton for two 2.0 Ah packs before you pay
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a confirmed 4 Ah kit, or a large review sample

Is brushless stated?
Yes. Special features say brushless motor and an integrated LED.
Our view
Across 2,584 amazon.co.uk reviews, this £75 kit is the two-pack people use for timber and, when the bit holds, for brick and block. The box lists two 2.0 Ah Power X-Change batteries, a charger and an S35 case, and the bullets state a brushless 50 Nm motor with hammer mode. Reviewers mention the LED and long battery life, and one extra pack still fitted the case. The title says TP-CD 18/50 Li-i while the bullets say TE-CD 18/50 Li-i BL, so the name on the carton may not match the listing title. The technical table prints a 10 mm chuck, which disagrees with Einhell’s catalogue figure of 13 mm for article 4513940. UK reviews describe the chuck lock ring as too small and too close to the body, so bits slip, and the foam-only case lets the contents slide. It is the top pick in this set because it scores highest, with that chuck conflict still unresolved on the page.
Pros
- Two 2.0 Ah packs, a charger and an S35 case at £75
- Brushless 50 Nm and hammer mode stated in the bullets
- LED and long battery life in UK reviews
- 4.5 from 2,584 reviews, the second-largest sample here
Cons
- Table prints a 10 mm chuck while the catalogue says 13 mm
- Title says TP-CD and the bullets say TE-CD
- Chuck lock ring lets bits slip
- Foam-only case; a catch broke in delivery for one buyer
Best for: A first 18 V kit for wood, screws and occasional brick if you can live with the chuck conflict
Less suitable: A job that needs a settled 13 mm chuck, or a household that already owns two packs

Our view
The TP-CD 18/50-C Li-i BL Solo is a compact 50 Nm brushless body at £76.95, listed at 990 g with a belt clip and no battery. The star line is 4.5 from only 27 amazon.co.uk reviews, and most written reviews in the saved listing are not from the United Kingdom, so a fault pattern is not established. One UK review cites power for the size, including brick, and another buyer wanted a second body so drill bits and driver bits need less swapping. The bullets state impact drilling, a 13 mm chuck and anti-kickback that can be switched off. The drill-type cell says impact driver, and the speed cell prints 30,000 rpm. One review calls it overpriced for what it is. The bullets offer a 10-year warranty on the motor once you register, which is the motor only.
Pros
- Compact 50 Nm brushless body with switchable anti-kickback
- 13 mm chuck and a belt clip stated
- Bought as a second body for cabinets in a small UK sample
- Motor-only 10-year registration line in the bullets
Cons
- Only 27 reviews, so the sample is thin
- No battery or charger
- Drill type says impact driver and the speed cell prints 30,000 rpm
- Called overpriced in one review
Best for: A second compact body if you already own packs and can accept a tiny review sample
Less suitable: A first drill, or anyone who wants a large UK review count before they buy

How we compared
Nine Einhell 18 V combi drills were compared from amazon.co.uk listings, using star ratings and review counts captured on 19 October 2026, the included-components lines, and public UK sources on plugs, vibration and consumer rights. There was no lab test. The score has four parts: stars, the size of the review sample, fit to a hammer combi with clean spec cells, and the value of a complete kit against a bare body.
1
Star rating
40%Stars take 40 of 100 points. The amazon.co.uk rating is divided by 5 and multiplied by 40, then rounded.
2
Review sample
25%The sample takes 25 points. 2,500 or more reviews score 25, 1,000 or more score 20, 500 or more score 16, 100 or more score 10, and 20 or more score 5.

Listing fit
25%Fit takes 25 points, from a base of 20 for an Einhell Power X-Change combi with hammer stated, plus 3 if brushless is stated. Points come off for a name clash, a missing chuck, a second torque, an impact-driver label, a rogue bullet, an amp-hour clash or a speed cell above 5,000 rpm.
4
Value

Einhell combi drill buying guide
Einhell combi drills on this page are 18 V Power X-Change tools with a keyless chuck, a torque clutch and hammer mode for light masonry. You are either buying a first drill with cells and a charger in the carton, or a bare body for packs you already own. Read the included-components line, the stated torque, the chuck size and whether brushless is named.
What is an Einhell combi drill?
An Einhell combi drill in this UK set is an 18 V Power X-Change tool with a keyless chuck, a torque clutch and hammer mode for light masonry. You are either buying a first drill with a battery and charger in the box, or adding a bare body to packs you already use. Quality shows up as a stable article number, a chuck size you can read, brushless named in the model code when the motor warranty matters, and an included-components line that matches the bullets. Start with the carton.
Best for
- First-time DIY in a flat, for timber and a few wall plugs, with a battery and charger in the box
- Existing Power X-Change owners who want a bare body rather than spare packs
Not ideal for
- All-day concrete, chasing or large holes that need an SDS rotary hammer
- A workplace where regular hammer use needs a vibration assessment
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Reading blow rate as spindle speed
Cells of 24,000–32,000 rpm sit in the catalogue’s blow-rate band. Idle speeds in this class are about 1,250–2,100 rpm. Do not rank a combi drill on the raw speed cell.
- 2
Buying Solo with no pack at home
Solo or without battery means no pack and no charger. The low body price is not a working drill until you add a Power X-Change pack and a charger.
- 3
Assuming every kit has a UK plug
Two UK reviews of the TE-CD 18/40 kit report a Euro two-pin plug and no adaptor. A domestic charger should be a BS 1363 fit. Check the pins before you rely on it.
What to weigh up
Carton and included parts
HighThe first check is the carton, not the headline price. Solo or without battery means you get the body only. A kit is a kit only when the included-components line lists the cells and the charger. Home kits in this set include a 44 Nm single 2.5 Ah pack with no case, a 44 Nm pack with a case and 22 bits, and a 40 Nm two-pack with a large bit set. Brushless 50 Nm appears as a solo and as a two-pack kit whose title and bullets do not share one model name.
Torque, chuck and hammer mode
HighHammer mode has to be stated. A plain drill-driver is a different category. Hard torque on these rows runs from 44 Nm home kits to 50 Nm brushless, then 60, 80 and 120 Nm Professional bodies. Prefer a stated 13 mm metal chuck. One solo prints no chuck size, and one kit table prints 10 mm against a catalogue figure of 13 mm for the same article number. Do not drill on a clutch number: the numbered ring is for screws, and hammer work uses the collar.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Existing Power X-Change owner
You already run other Einhell 18 V tools, so a bare 50 Nm brushless body avoids a second pair of small packs. Price that solo against a kit before you buy.
Heavier DIY with packs at home
You want 80 Nm, a stated 13 mm chuck and hammer mode, and you already rotate Power X-Change packs. This is not an all-day concrete hammer.
Common questions about Einhell combi drills
What should you check first on an Einhell combi drill?
Read the included-components line before the title. Solo, or without battery, means no pack and no charger. A kit counts only when that line names the cells and the charger. Then confirm hammer mode is stated as impact drilling, read the hard torque in newton-metres, and look for a chuck size, preferably a stated 13 mm. Brushless in the model code matters if you care about the motor warranty. Ignore a second torque figure, a sandpaper bullet or a speed cell in the tens of thousands.
How much does an Einhell combi drill cost on amazon.co.uk?
amazon.co.uk prices here were captured on 19 October 2026. The entry complete kit is about £44 for 44 Nm, with one 2.5 Ah pack and a charger, and no case. Mid-range rows are about £53.95 for a bare 50 Nm brushless body, about £75 for that family's two-pack kit, and about £77 for a compact 50 Nm body or an 80 Nm body. The top of this set runs from about £89.95 to about £113.95. If the title says Solo, budget a pack and a charger as well.
Should you buy a bare Einhell combi drill or a kit?
Buy a kit when you have no Power X-Change pack at home, and only if included components list the cells and the charger. Buy a bare body when those packs already run your other Einhell tools. Compare the solo price with a kit so you do not pay for spare 2.0 Ah packs you will not use. A title that says Solo is the body only. Budget a separate pack and charger before you treat that price as the cost of a working drill.
Is hammer mode the same as an SDS rotary hammer?
No. Hammer mode on these combi drills is a collar action for light masonry, brick and a few wall plugs. It is not an SDS rotary hammer. Hard concrete, chasing, lintels and large holes need a hire or a different tool. The Health and Safety Executive lists hammer drills for hand-arm vibration, with an indicative band of 7–13 m/s² for impact drills, and none of these listings prints its own figure. The rotary hammer comparison is the page for that heavier work.
What plug should the charger have in the UK?
A domestic charger for a UK socket should fit a BS 1363 plug. Regulation 35 of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 is the rule behind that. Do not assume every kit has a UK plug. Two UK reviews of the TE-CD 18/40 kit report a Euro two-pin plug and no adaptor, and one person used a shaver socket. Check the pins before you rely on the drill. Faulty goods can be rejected within 30 days under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, section 22.
Why do some Einhell listings show 24,000 rpm?
Several speed cells in this set print 24,000 to 32,000 rpm. Einhell's English catalogue lists figures in that range as blow rates, while idle spindle speeds sit around 1,250 to 2,100 rpm. Do not rank these combi drills on the raw speed cell, and do not treat 24,000 rpm as the speed of the chuck. The same care applies to a 10 cm wood-capacity cell, a sandpaper bullet or a steel-tank bullet. Those lines do not describe the drill you are holding.
How does the Einhell combi drill warranty work?
Register within 30 days if you want the three-year product extension described on Einhell UK's warranty page. Unregistered listing text is often two years. The 10-year brushless line covers the motor only, not the whole tool, which is what one compact body's bullets state. A 120 Nm Professional body's bullets offer an extended three-year guarantee for Professional tools once you register. The listing does not show a registration certificate, so keep your proof of purchase.
When should you stop and call a professional?
Stop if the hole is in a concrete lintel, if it is structural, or if you do not know where cables or pipes run. A chuck that stays jammed is a reason to stop, not a clutch number to force. At work, regular hammer use beyond about 15 minutes a day is a reason for the employer to assess hand-arm vibration. These combi drills do not replace an SDS tool for all-day concrete. Hire the machine or call a professional.
Our verdict
The top pick is the TE-CD 18/50 Li-i BL kit with two 2.0 Ah packs, because it scores 88, the highest in this set, across 2,584 amazon.co.uk reviews at 4.5. The table still prints a 10 mm chuck, while the catalogue lists 13 mm for article 4513940, and the title says TP-CD where the bullets say TE-CD. The best value is the 44 Nm kit at about £44: the cheapest complete kit with a battery, a charger and at least 1,000 reviews, even though it scores 85 and the table also prints 14 Nm beside 44 Nm. Bare 80 Nm and 120 Nm bodies are for people who already own Power X-Change packs, and hammer mode is not a substitute for an SDS rotary hammer in concrete.
