The best tool boxes with cordless drills, compared.
Top pick: DEKO 126-piece 8 V drill kit, purple Best value: Maxesla 99-piece 21 V combi drill set – Best value on stated drill spec: hammer mode, 42 Nm, and two 2.0 Ah packs at £37.99, with a 4.0 average from 951 reviews and soft bits. Updated October 2026.
A tool box with a cordless drill is one amazon.co.uk kit: a case, a battery drill, and hand tools for flat-pack furniture and small home jobs. You separate them by stated voltage, whether hammer mode is on the page, the battery and charger, and whether the case holds the tools. Some colours share one review pool, so you do not add those counts. Prices and stars are the amazon.co.uk listings, with reviews dated up to 10 October 2026. The checks to make on the listing are in the [tool box with cordless drill buying guide](/hub/drilling-and-accessories/tool-box-with-cordless-drill/sub/tool-box-with-cordless-drill-buying-guide). It is not a trade drill on its own, and the piece count is not a measure of power.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What will you use it for?
The purple DKMT126U-VT-UK is an 8 V, 800 RPM kit at £39.99 whose own amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 411 reviews, separate from the 370-review pool. The listing calls it a starter kit or a second drill for small jobs in wood, plastic, screws, and furniture assembly, and the kit weight on this page is 3.21 kg. Buyers chose the colour so the tools were less likely to be borrowed, and they describe the hand tools and the small drill as enough for a cabinet and ordinary household jobs. One buyer found the drill heavier and more solid in the hand than expected. Torque and hammer mode are not stated, and a BS 1363 plug in the box is not stated. The driver was too weak for some projects and chewed screw heads even with the correct bit. Another drill died after two uses and then would not charge on several USB chargers, and how the tools sit in the box is a separate complaint on an otherwise positive review.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A first house kit for light furniture and household screws, if you want this colour and can return a drill that will not charge.
Less suitable: Hard DIY, masonry, or screws that need more torque than this 8 V driver has shown in reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
Does purple change the drill spec?
The listing still says 8 V and 800 RPM, with a USB-C lead. The kit weight on this page is 3.21 kg, not the 748 g drill figure used on two other colours.
Is this the same review count as the blue 126-piece kit?
No. This page shows 4.6 from 411 reviews. The blue and unnamed-colour pages show 4.6 from 370.
What jobs do the bullets name?
Wood, plastic, screws, furniture assembly, and general home DIY. Masonry is not stated.
This unnamed-colour DEKO DKMT126U is an 8 V driver listed at 800 RPM for wood, plastic, and screws, sold in a 126-piece box at £39.99. The 4.6 from 370 amazon.co.uk reviews is the same text as the blue listing, so that pool counts once. Buyers use it for flat-pack furniture and say the small drill reaches tight spots more easily than a full-size drill over a long session. USB-C charging at 1.5 A from a 5 V USB source is described as simple, and the hand screwdrivers and bits are said to hold up on light furniture work. Torque, chuck size, battery capacity, and hammer mode are not stated. A reviewer found the utility knife shown in the photos missing, others report a bit that wobbles and will not spin straight, and one drill smelled of burning after a single use, then would not run, and was returned within a few days. The 748 g item weight matches the 1.65 lb drill figure, not the kit weight near 3.2 kg on the purple, cyan, and yellow pages.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Flat-pack furniture and light screws in wood and plastic, if you can return a drill that fails on the first job.
Less suitable: Masonry, heavy-duty work, or any job that needs a stated torque or a bit that runs true.
Specifications
Common questions
What does this 8 V drill say it can drill?
The listing limits it to wood and plastic, and to tightening or loosening screws. Hammer mode and masonry are not stated.
How is it charged?
The bullets describe a USB-C 1.5 A cable and a 5 V USB source or universal charger. A BS 1363 plug in the box is not stated.
Is 748 g the weight of the whole kit?
748 g matches the 1.65 lb drill figure in the bullets. Purple, cyan, and yellow 126-piece listings put the kit near 3.2 kg.
The blue DKMT126U-BL is an 8 V, 800 RPM DEKO kit at £39.99, and the listing limits it to wood, plastic, and screws. It carries the same 4.6 from 370 reviews as B0C5X647S2, including the same review text, so that pool should be counted once. Reviewers describe three flat-pack pieces, a small drill that helps in tight spots, and USB charging from the 1.5 A USB-C lead. The bullet list matches that other 126-piece set: drivers, six twist drills, hex keys, 50 mm and 25 mm bits, nine 1/4 inch sockets, a tape, 50 fasteners, a claw hammer, an adjustable wrench, and long-nose pliers. Battery capacity, torque, and hammer mode are not stated, and the page also says Hand Powered, which conflicts with the rechargeable bullet. In that shared text the advertised utility knife and blades were missing, a bit wobbled, and a motor failed with a burning smell and was returned within two days. Item weight is 748 g, the 1.65 lb drill claim, not the kit weight near 3.2 kg on the other colours.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A blue case for light home and flat-pack jobs in wood and plastic.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs an independent review sample, masonry, or a stated battery capacity.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the blue kit a different drill from B0C5X647S2?
The title adds the colour blue and the model is DKMT126U-BL. Voltage, speed, price, and the 370-review text match that other listing.
What is included?
The bullet list includes the 8 V driver, screwdrivers, hex keys, bits, nine 1/4 inch sockets, a tape, a claw hammer, an adjustable wrench, and long-nose pliers.
Does the listing state hammer mode?
No. The stated job is wood, plastic, and screws.
The TLGREEN KS610229 is a 138-piece green toolbox at £49.99 whose 12 V drill is listed at 22 Nm, with 25 torque levels plus a drill mode, two speeds of 400 and 1,500 RPM, an LED, and a 2,000 mAh pack. The stated charger is 12.6 V at 1 A, with a green light when full, and the kit weighs 4.58 kg. The spec row says Basic Drill, so hammer mode is not stated. Across a 4.5 from 144 amazon.co.uk reviews, many of them a single line, buyers mention a new house, a car kit, and a drill that seemed powerful and not too heavy before much use. Those short reviews do not confirm the 22 Nm figure. One otherwise positive review calls the case a bit flimsy, which is the only repeated physical complaint in the written reviews. The listing says the set contains a bladed item, is not for under-18s, and needs an online age check, but the blade type is not named in the inventory. On the stated spec it is the top pick here for a home drill with a clutch and two speeds, if you accept a light case and a thin written sample.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A new house or a car kit when you want a stated clutch, two speeds, and a 2,000 mAh pack.
Less suitable: Masonry, under-18s, or anyone who needs a stiff case and long written reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a hammer drill?
The spec row says Basic Drill. The bullets state two speeds, 25 torque levels plus a drill mode, and 22 Nm. Hammer mode is not stated.
Why is there an age check?
The listing says the product contains a bladed item, is not for under-18s, and needs an online age check. The blade type is not named in the inventory.
What do the short reviews add?
Buyers mention a new house, a car kit, and a case that one person called a bit flimsy. Many of the 144 reviews are a single line.
The yellow 126-piece DEKO kit is listed at £39.99 with 8 V and 800 RPM in the title and the package line, and the kit weight is 3.21 kg. Voltage is not repeated as its own spec row, and battery chemistry is not in the spec block, though the bullets describe USB-C charging at 1.5 A. It shares the 4.5 from 85 reviews with the cyan listing, so that is one pool. Reviewers of that text call it a home starter kit, mention a mini level and a tape, and say the battery lasted a long pegboard session. The case was smaller than expected, the drill was described as portable and not very noisy indoors, and quality was called a bit poor. The drill stopped after two brief uses or broke after first use, and the seller did not answer. The included list does not name a knife, a shared review expected a box cutter that was not there, and hammer mode and torque are not stated.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Occasional home DIY and indoor fixings in wood and plastic, in a yellow case.
Less suitable: Masonry, daily trade use, or a set you expect to include a box cutter.
Specifications
Common questions
Is voltage on the spec table?
This page does not repeat voltage as its own spec row. The title and the package line both say 8 V, and the speed row says 800 RPM.
Does the included list name a knife?
No. The package line lists the driver, drivers, bits, sockets, tape, fasteners, hammer, wrench, and pliers. A shared review expected a box cutter and did not find one.
How many independent reviews is 85?
Yellow and cyan show the same 85 and overlapping text. That is one pool.
This 126-piece listing at £39.99 states an 8 V drill at 800 RPM for wood, plastic, screws, and furniture assembly, and the item weight is 3.18 kg. The title says cyan while one bullet says a pink drill and a pink tool box, so the colour on the page disagrees with itself. It shares a 4.5 from 85 reviews with the yellow listing, including the same text, so that pool counts once. A reviewer on that text drilled a large number of pegboard holes in one session and said the battery lasted, and another wanted the smaller-than-expected case. The included line adds a utility knife blade and a levelling device, and this page does not print an under-18 age-check sentence. Torque, chuck, and amp-hours are not stated. The 1.5 A figure matches the USB-C cable. In the shared reviews the drill stopped after two brief uses or broke after first use, and one seller did not reply.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Light furniture assembly and indoor fixings, if the colour you receive matches the title you ordered.
Less suitable: Masonry, a job that needs a named torque, or a buyer who needs the colour label to be consistent.
Specifications
Common questions
Why do the title and a bullet disagree on colour?
The title says cyan. One bullet says pink drill and pink tool box. Both phrases are on the listing, so the colour label is inconsistent.
Does this set include a blade?
The included line names a utility knife blade and a levelling device. This page does not print the under-18 age-check sentence that TLGREEN prints.
Whose reviews are the 85?
The same 4.5 from 85 and overlapping review text appear on yellow B0DQKN2VJF. Count that pool once.
The blue DKMT238DU-BL-EU is a 238-piece toolbox at £59.49 with a 12 V drill listed at 0–800 RPM and Type-C charging, in a case measuring 40.5 × 31 × 16 cm and weighing 7.06 kg. It shares a 4.4 from 658 reviews with the grey listing, so that pool counts once. Reviewers describe an organised, portable box, plasterboard and soft wood as manageable, and one USB-C drill used on metal for a motorbike footpeg. Amp-hours, torque, and hammer mode are not stated on this page. A reviewer says masonry bits are included and there is no hammer action, and that masonry is a struggle. Drills are reported faulty on arrival, dead after one use, or dead months after a single session, with the supplier then going quiet. A UK review says the electrical test screwdriver is not insulated and could shock you if you hold the shaft against a live 240 V conductor. That warning is a review report, not a lab test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A home or car toolbox for plasterboard, soft wood, and light metal, if you do not use the test screwdriver on mains.
Less suitable: Masonry, trade work, or anyone who needs a stated battery capacity before buying.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this blue case match the pink 238-piece case?
No. This listing is 40.5 × 31 × 16 cm. The pink listing is 54 × 38 × 25 cm. Both say 12 V and 800 RPM.
Is the battery size stated?
Not on this page. The grey and pink 238-piece bullets state 1.5 Ah. This blue page does not.
What did a reviewer say about the test screwdriver?
A review on this shared pool says the electrical test screwdriver shaft is not insulated and is unsafe on 240 V mains.
The grey DKMT238DU is the 238-piece 12 V listing at £69.99 and 7.2 kg, with 1.5 Ah stated in the bullets and a claimed charge of about 1.5 hours on the Type-C charger. Those bullets also claim 1–3 hours of runtime and 5–6 hours of ordinary household work, which is a listing claim, not a measured test. It shares the 4.4 from 658 reviews with the blue 238-piece page. Those reviews call it fit for most home DIY if you do not expect trade quality, with plasterboard and soft wood easier than masonry, an extra drawer claimed, and case dimensions not stated. Hammer mode is not stated, and the shared text says there is no hammer action even though masonry bits are in the box. Early or on-arrival drill failure, broken parts, and a seller who stopped replying appear in that pool. The same review calls the electrical test screwdriver uninsulated and unsafe on 240 V if you hold the shaft, and on these listings this grey kit is £69.99 while the blue 238-piece kit is £59.49.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Household repairs where you want the 1.5 Ah figure printed and you will not use the test screwdriver on mains.
Less suitable: Buyers comparing the blue 238-piece listing on price, or anyone drilling masonry.
Specifications
Common questions
Why is this £69.99 when the blue 238-piece kit is £59.49?
Those are the two shelf prices on these listings. Both show 4.4 from 658 reviews. This page states 1.5 Ah. The blue page does not state dimensions that match a different case size.
What runtime does the listing claim?
The bullets claim about 1.5 hours to charge, 1–3 hours of use, and 5–6 hours for ordinary household work. That is a listing claim, not a measured test.
Is hammer mode listed?
No. A review on the shared text says masonry bits are included and the drill has no hammer action.
The pink 238-piece DEKO kit is a 12 V, 1.5 Ah drill at 800 RPM in a case listed as 54 × 38 × 25 cm and 7.11 kg, at £59.49. This page has its own 4.4 from 564 reviews, not the 658-review pool on the blue and grey listings. Several buyers chose pink so the tools would not be borrowed, and they describe the case as sturdy, organised, and compact enough to carry. One reviewer reports drilling walls that were not easy and driving screws into fencing. The bullets claim an extra drawer and about 1.5 hours to charge, plus 1–3 hours of runtime and 5–6 hours of ordinary household work as listing claims. Torque and hammer mode are not stated, so that wall-drilling review is not a hammer-drill specification. A spanner does not sit in its mould, a ratchet adapter is missing its locking ball so sockets fall off, and one drill sparked and died immediately. Other reports say the drill had almost no power and bits snapped in thin plastic and wood, or that the drill was missing from the box.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A large pink home toolbox for household screws and light drilling, if you check the drill works on day one.
Less suitable: Masonry, a job that needs every tool to sit in its mould, or buyers who expected a Stanley knife.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the pink drill a different voltage?
No. The listing says 12 V, 1.5 Ah, and 800 RPM. The colour is the stated difference, and this page has its own 564 reviews.
How big is the case?
The listing says 54 × 38 × 25 cm and 7.11 kg, with an extra drawer in the bullets.
What case-fit issues appear in reviews?
Reviewers report a spanner that does not sit in its mould, a ratchet adapter missing its locking ball, and one drill that sparked and died.
The Sundpey TK-170Y is a yellow 170-piece kit at £43.07 with a 21 V drill listed at 34 Nm, 25+1 torque, two speeds of 0–350 and 0–1,350 RPM, a 10 mm chuck, an LED, and a drill weight of 1.17 kg. The package is 44.5 × 34.2 × 11 cm and the item weight is 4.54 kg. The drill bullet names plastic, wood, ceramic, and glass, not brick, and hammer mode is not stated. The bullets say a 2,000 mAh lithium-ion pack and a charger that takes 1–1.5 hours, with a runtime claim of up to 1 hour. A spec line also says one C battery is required and included, and the power-source attribute says hand powered, so those battery descriptions conflict. Its 4.4 from 40 reviews is the thinnest written set here. Buyers call it a first toolbox for a new home and fine for odd jobs, while drill bits that snap are the clearest repeated complaint. A voltage tester is included with no insulation standard stated, and the screwdrivers named are Phillips and slotted, not Pozidriv.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Odd jobs and a first yellow toolbox for plastic, wood, ceramic, and glass, if you treat the lithium-ion bullet as the battery you must verify on arrival.
Less suitable: Brick or masonry, Pozidriv-only fixings, or a buyer who needs a large review sample.
Specifications
Common questions
Which battery description should you trust?
The bullets say a 2,000 mAh lithium-ion pack. A spec line says one C battery is required and included. Both are on the page. The power-source attribute also says hand powered.
Does it state hammer mode?
No. The drill bullet names plastic, wood, ceramic, and glass, two speeds, and 25+1 torque.
What screwdriver drive is named?
The included line names Phillips and slotted screwdrivers. Pozidriv is not stated. A voltage tester is included, with no insulation standard.
The DEKO 186-piece kit pairs a 20 V drill, listed at 1,350 RPM and 1.5 Ah in the bullets, with a plastic case at £59.99 and an item weight of 5.67 kg. The spec row says 1.5 A rather than 1.5 Ah, so both labels are on the page, and torque is not stated. The bullets claim holes in wall, wood, metal, and plastic, a charge of about 1.5 hours, and runtime claims of 1–3 hours or 5–6 hours for ordinary household work. It is filed under Combi Drills, but hammer mode is not stated, and its own reviews are 4.2 from 196. Buyers call it a packed gift that is fine for little household jobs if you add a chisel, a knife, and a pencil. The foam is too small, so tools arrived loose and damaged another item. One drill had no torque and was returned, another was not strong enough to undo washing machine bolts, and a reviewer described the charger as a light adapter on the battery and was uneasy charging it.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Small household jobs when you will add your own chisel, knife, and pencil and you do not need high torque.
Less suitable: Washing-machine bolts, masonry, or a case you expect to hold every tool in foam.
Specifications
Common questions
Does combi-drill rank mean it has hammer mode?
The page is filed under Combi Drills. The bullets do not state hammer mode. They do claim holes in wall, wood, metal, and plastic.
What is the 1.5 A spec row?
The spec row says Amperage 1.5 A and the bullets say a 1.5 Ah pack. Both are recorded. Torque is not stated.
What do reviews say about the case?
One review says the foam does not hold the tools, so they arrived loose and damaged another item. Another says the drill had no torque.
The Maxesla ZY-01 is a 21 V combination drill in a 99-piece case measuring 32 × 9.5 × 35 cm, at £37.99, the lowest price in this set. The bullets state hammer drilling as well as screwdriving and drilling, 42 Nm, a 25-position clutch, two speeds of 0–550 and 0–1,850 RPM, a 10 mm auto-lock chuck, an LED, and two 2.0 Ah batteries with a 90-minute full-charge claim. The kit weighs 3.8 kg. It is the best value here on stated drill spec for the price, and the case is a slim drill case rather than a wide mechanic's chest. The amazon.co.uk score is 4.0 from 951 reviews, the lowest average and the largest count on this shelf. One review says 42 Nm handled masonry. Others say the drill struggles with walls, that bits bent or melted, or that the largest masonry bit stuck so the keyless chuck would not release it. Screwdriver bits melted or wore out on a few screws, a charger was missing from one order, and battery power is called poor without further detail.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Light screwdriving, drilling, and occasional hammer drilling when you want two batteries at the lowest price here and can replace soft bits.
Less suitable: A wide mechanic's chest, or a wall job you cannot abandon if a bit sticks in the chuck.
Specifications
Common questions
Is hammer mode actually on the listing?
Yes. The drill type is Combination Drill, and the bullets name screwdriving, drilling, and hammer drilling, plus 42 Nm.
Do reviews agree about walls?
No. One review says masonry was fine. Others say the drill struggles with walls, bits bent or melted, or a masonry bit stuck in the chuck.
What else is in the 99 pieces?
Two batteries, a charger, a hammer, pliers, a utility knife, sockets, a tape, and an electric pen. An under-18 age-check sentence is not printed.
This page compares 12 tool box with cordless drill kits from their amazon.co.uk listings. The order follows stated voltage, hammer mode, battery, clutch, torque, and price, alongside the published star rating and review count. We did not lab-test any kit, and a higher star average is not a torque measurement.
Stated job and hammer mode
25%The listing must name the materials. Brick needs hammer mode on the page. A wall bullet, or masonry bits in the box, is not hammer mode.
Voltage class
15%8 V, 12 V, and 20–21 V are different tools. Colour variants can share a review pool and still differ in price and case size.
Battery and charger
20%Amp-hours and the charge lead are taken from that listing only. A BS 1363 plug is not assumed unless the page shows one.
Clutch, speed, and torque
20%Newton metres, a numbered clutch, and two speeds count only when they are printed. An 800 RPM bullet with no torque figure stays unmarked.
Case, bits, and reviews
20%The case has to hold the tools. Shared review text is counted once. Early drill failure and soft bits stay in the verdict.
Read the listing for the job, the voltage, and whether hammer mode is printed. Then read the battery, the clutch, and the case. Piece count and colour come after those. The twelve kits below are the amazon.co.uk listings compared on this page, from £37.99 to £69.99. Nothing here is a lab test.
A tool box with a cordless drill is sold as one kit on amazon.co.uk: a case, a battery drill, and hand tools, for flat-pack furniture and small home jobs. It is not a trade drill on its own, and the piece count is not a measure of power. The twelve listings on this page run from £37.99 to £69.99. As a rule of thumb, this shelf sits at about £38 to £70. In this set the entry band is £37.99 to £43.07, the middle is £49.99 to £59.99, and the top price is £69.99 for the grey 238-piece DEKO.
A 238-piece case can still be an 800 RPM drill with no stated torque. A 99-piece set can state 42 Nm and hammer mode. Count the pieces only after you have read voltage, hammer mode, and newton metres.
Blue and unnamed-colour 126-piece pages share 4.6 from 370 reviews. Cyan and yellow share 4.5 from 85. Blue and grey 238-piece pages share 4.4 from 658. Adding those figures double-counts one sample.
Masonry bits in the box, a Combi Drills filing, or a bullet that says wall do not state hammer mode. Only Maxesla prints hammer drilling. Reviews of kits without it describe masonry as a struggle.
The first check is the job the listing names, not the number of pieces in the lid. The 8 V DEKO bullets say wood, plastic, and screws. A 12 V case may say household DIY, or home and car DIY, and still omit hammer mode. Brick needs hammer mode on the page. Only Maxesla, among these twelve, states a combination drill. The DEKO 20 V kit claims holes in wall, wood, metal, and plastic, and it is filed under Combi Drills, but hammer mode is not stated.
Read amp-hours and the charger only from that listing. The 8 V kits ship a USB-C lead and say a 5 V USB source can charge them. Amp-hours are not stated on those pages. Some 12 V bullets and the 20 V bullets say 1.5 Ah. The blue 238-piece page does not. Maxesla states two 2.0 Ah packs. TLGREEN states a 2,000 mAh pack and a 12.6 V, 1 A charger. Sundpey bullets state 2,000 mAh, but a spec line also says C batteries, and another attribute says hand powered.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want one case for furniture, a hammer, and light screws in wood and plastic. The TLGREEN 12 V kit prints a clutch, two speeds, and a 2.0 Ah pack at £49.99. Hammer mode is not stated, and one review calls the case a bit flimsy.
You want hammer mode on the listing, not only a wall claim. The Maxesla 21 V set states hammer drilling, 42 Nm, and two 2.0 Ah packs at £37.99. Reviews disagree about walls, and bits are reported to bend or melt.
Pink and purple reviews mention the colour so the tools are less likely to be borrowed. Voltage is still the decision. The purple 8 V DEKO kit has its own 4.6 from 411 reviews at £39.99, for light furniture, not masonry.
On stated specification, the top pick is the TLGREEN 138-piece 12 V toolbox at £49.99: 22 Nm, a 25+1 clutch, two speeds, an LED, and a 2.0 Ah pack, with no hammer mode stated and a short written review sample. The best value on stated drill specification is the Maxesla 99-piece 21 V set at £37.99, the only listing here that states hammer mode, with two 2.0 Ah packs and a 4.0 average from 951 reviews. An 8 V DEKO kit at £39.99 is for wood, plastic, and screws. Do not add shared review counts, and do not treat piece count as power.
Maxesla 99-piece 21 V combi drill set
Best value on stated drill spec: hammer mode, 42 Nm, and two 2.0 Ah packs at £37.99, with a 4.0 average from 951 reviews and soft bits.
