You want one combi for furniture, shelves, and the odd brick plug, and you do not already own a PowerShare pack. The WX355.1 is the top pick among battery kits with at least 100 reviews, with one 2.0 Ah battery in the highlight.
Worx drill comparison 2026
The best Worx drills, compared.
Top pick: WORX WX352.9 Nitro – Highest score in this comparison, 9.6 out of 10, from 218 amazon.co.uk reviews. Best value: WORX WX370.1 – Lowest price among products that include at least one battery, at about £76.94 with two 2.0 Ah packs. Updated October 2026.

A Worx drill is a cordless tool, and the split that matters is the mechanism. The and the are SDS rotary hammers, rated in joules, for concrete. A 60 Nm combi does not replace a 2.0 J. Most UK buyers want one kit for furniture, shelves, and the odd brick plug, or they already own Worx garden tools and want the same packs. The impact driver is not compared on its own. The twin kit stays because it includes a combi. The [Worx drill buying guide](/hub/drilling-and-accessories/worx-drill/sub/worx-drill-buying-guide) sets the decision order before you read the full grid. You separate the models by mechanism before you compare a torque figure. A combi hammer is a rattle in a 13 mm keyless chuck. It drills, drives screws, and hammers small masonry holes.

What are you drilling?
The best Worx drills in detail
Our view
The WX352.9 is a bare brushless drill listed at £83.99, rated 4.8 from 218 amazon.co.uk reviews, with 60 Nm, a 13 mm chuck, and a 22+1+1 clutch. The highlight says the battery and charger are sold separately, so the box is the drill, a belt clip, a double-ended bit, and a hook. Reviewers praise it for masonry, plasterboard fittings, and long screws, and some already share packs with a Worx mower. With a large battery fitted, others find it heavy or poorly balanced, and the chuck can loosen if it rubs the work. One buyer says the item received was not the Nitro shown in the listing. The star rating is the highest here, but this is not the top pick, because you still need a PowerShare pack and a charger before it drills anything.
Pros
- 60 Nm brushless body with a 22+1+1 clutch and two speeds
- 4.8 from 218 reviews, the highest star rating in this set
- Used for masonry, plasterboard fittings, and long screws
- Shares PowerShare packs with a Worx mower in the reviews
Cons
- Battery and charger are not in the box
- Heavy or poorly balanced once a large battery is fitted
- Chuck can loosen if it rubs the work
- One buyer received a tool that was not the Nitro in the listing
Best for: You already own a Worx PowerShare pack and want a 60 Nm brushless body.
Less suitable: A first drill with no battery or charger on the shelf.

Common questions
Is the WX352.9 ready to use out of the box?
No. The highlight says the battery and charger are sold separately. The box lists the drill, a belt clip, a double-ended bit, and a hook.
Can you drive screws with it?
The listing gives 22+1+1 torque settings, two speeds, and reverse. Reviews in the file describe screwdriving as well as drilling.
What weight does the listing give?
The bullets say 1.5 kg with a battery fitted. The item-weight field says 1.35 kg.
Our view
The WX355.1 is a compact brushless combi listed at £89.00, rated 4.7 from 228 amazon.co.uk reviews, with 55 Nm and a stated length of 165 mm. The highlight includes one 2.0 Ah battery, a charger, and a case, and it does not state a second pack. In the first 50 UK reviews in the file, owners describe a solid feel for home DIY and hammer use on brickwork. One owner says 55 Nm is not enough for heavier tasks and keeps a corded hammer drill for those jobs. The listing prints 1.35 kg with the battery and 950 g as the item weight, so the two figures do not agree. Among kits that include a battery and have at least 100 reviews, this is the top pick, with the limit that these reviews do not describe repeated concrete.
Pros
- 4.7 from 228 reviews among battery kits in this set
- 55 Nm brushless motor in a body the bullets call 165 mm long
- One 2.0 Ah battery, a charger, and a case in the highlight
- Hammer function used on brickwork in the sampled UK reviews
- Battery life described as good by owners who already have Worx packs
Cons
- Only one battery is stated in the highlight
- One owner says 55 Nm is not enough and keeps a corded hammer drill for heavier work
- Two weights on one listing: 1.35 kg with the battery and 950 g item weight
- Included-components line says Drill Attachment, which is vaguer than the highlight
Best for: A compact brushless kit for home DIY, including brickwork, when one 2.0 Ah battery is enough.
Less suitable: You need two batteries in the box, or heavier work already handed to a corded hammer drill.

Common questions
Does the WX355.1 include a battery?
The item highlight says it comes with a 2.0 Ah battery, a charger, and a case. It does not say there are two batteries.
How long and how heavy is it?
The bullets say 165 mm long and 1.35 kg with the battery. The item-weight field says 950 g, so the listing gives two weights.
Does the listing give a concrete diameter?
No. It states 55 Nm, wood 40 mm, and metal 13 mm. A page question asks about concrete, but no concrete millimetre limit is printed.
Our view
The WX352 kit is listed at £110.98 and rated 4.7 from 73 reviews, with the 60 Nm brushless body, two 2.0 Ah batteries, charger WA3880, and a carry case. Reviewers call it light but strong for small DIY, and some run the same packs on a Landroid mower. Masonry is described as manageable when the bit is a good one. One battery arrived dead, and the buyer could not get a response about a replacement. Another buyer had a faulty charger, which they say Amazon refunded. One comment expects hammer mode to drain a 2 Ah pack faster, without a measured time, so check both packs on the first charge before you rely on the kit.
Pros
- 60 Nm brushless kit with two 2.0 Ah batteries and charger WA3880
- Carry case, belt clip, hook, and a double-ended bit in the box
- 4.7 from 73 reviews, with masonry called manageable using a good bit
- Same packs used on a Landroid mower in the reviews
Cons
- One battery arrived dead, with no replacement response in that review
- One charger was faulty; that buyer says Amazon refunded a replacement
- 73 reviews is a smaller sample than the WX355.1 or the WX370.1
Best for: You want the 60 Nm Nitro body with two batteries and a case already in the price.
Less suitable: You need a larger review sample, or you assume both packs will arrive healthy.

Common questions
What is supplied with the WX352?
Two 20V 2 Ah batteries, charger WA3880, a carry case, a belt clip, a hook, a double-ended bit, and the drill.
Do the reviews mention faulty parts?
One review says a battery arrived dead. Another says the charger was faulty and that Amazon refunded a replacement charger.
Is this the same as the WX352.9?
The model number on this listing is WX352, and the box includes batteries and a charger. The WX352.9 listing is the bare tool.
Our view
Across 555 amazon.co.uk reviews at 4.6 stars, the WX370.1 is a 50 Nm combi kit listed at £76.94 with two 2.0 Ah batteries, a charger, a bag, and a 13 mm chuck. Reviewers use the hammer in brick and describe the packs as enough for decking screws and ordinary jobs. The bullets state wood at 40 mm, metal at 13 mm, and masonry at 10 mm. Several reviews say the keyless chuck loosens or will not keep a grip on the bit. The charger is called slow, the bag is called small, and one owner wanted more torque for 3 inch screws in treated timber. With two batteries already in the box, this is the best value in the set if that chuck slip does not put you off.
Pros
- Two 2.0 Ah batteries, a charger, and a bag at £76.94
- 50 Nm, a 13 mm chuck, and masonry stated at 10 mm in the bullets
- Hammer mode used in brick in a set rated 4.6 from 555 reviews
- Battery life described as long for decking screws and general jobs
- Light enough that some older reviewers found heavier drills tiring
Cons
- Keyless chuck loosens or loses its grip in several reviews
- Charger described as slow, and the carry bag described as small
- One review wanted more torque for 3 inch screws in treated timber
- Online warranty registration described as difficult in one review
Best for: Home DIY in wood and brick plugs when you want two batteries in the box at the lowest kit price in this set.
Less suitable: A buyer who will not accept a slipping chuck, or 3 inch screws in treated timber.

Common questions
Does the WX370.1 come with batteries?
Yes. The listing includes two 2.0 Ah batteries, a fast charger, a carry bag, and a double-ended bit.
What hole sizes does the listing state?
The bullets state wood 40 mm, metal 13 mm, and masonry 10 mm, at 50 Nm.
What do the reviews say about the chuck?
Several of the UK reviews in the source file say the keyless chuck loosens or loses its grip on the bit.
Our view
The WX381.9 is a bare brushless SDS rotary hammer listed at £129.99 and rated 4.6 from 267 reviews. The bullets state 2.0 J, concrete up to 22 mm, wood 28 mm, and steel 13 mm, plus drilling, hammer drilling, and chiselling with angle adjustment. The box has an auxiliary handle, a depth gauge, and 8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm SDS bits, and the highlight says the battery and charger are sold separately. Reviewers go through brick and walls and use the chisel to chase bricks for sockets, while noting it is lighter and less powerful than a heavy corded SDS. They say a high-capacity pack matters, the SDS chuck takes practice, and one owner was worried by the bit moving back and forth in the chuck. Spec fields that print 1.35 rpm and 2 Nm contradict the bullets and are not performance figures. One buyer received a used item and says nothing was done after they reported it.
Pros
- 2.0 J SDS rotary hammer with concrete stated up to 22 mm
- Chisel mode with angle adjustment, plus an auxiliary handle and depth gauge
- Three SDS bits at 8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm
- 4.6 from 267 reviews for brick, walls, and chasing for sockets
Cons
- No battery or charger, and reviewers say a high-capacity pack matters
- Less powerful than a heavy corded SDS in one comparison
- One buyer received a used item
- Bit movement in the SDS chuck worried one owner, and no case is listed
Best for: Brick and concrete up to 22 mm, or chiselling, when you already own a PowerShare pack.
Less suitable: Flat-pack screws, a first kit with no battery, or anyone treating 1.35 rpm and 2 Nm as real output.

Common questions
Does the WX381.9 include a battery?
No. The highlight says the battery and charger are sold separately. The box has the tool, an auxiliary handle, a depth gauge, and three SDS bits.
Can it chisel?
The bullets say drilling, hammer drilling, and chiselling, with chisel angle adjustment. Reviews in the file mention the chisel mode in use.
Which figures should you trust on this page?
The bullets state 2.0 J, concrete 22 mm, wood 28 mm, and steel 13 mm. The spec table also prints 1.35 rpm and 2 Nm, which conflict with those bullets.
Our view
The WX370.9 is the body-only hammer drill listed at £47.50 and rated 4.6 from 256 reviews, and the title says the batteries and charger are not included. The same page prints both 50 Nm and 40 Nm, and both 1.1 kg and 1.75 kg, so those pairs are conflicts rather than two working modes. Wood is stated as 40 mm and metal as 13 mm, and the bullets claim hammer action for concrete, wall, or brick without a masonry millimetre limit. The saved listing holds one UK review, which says the drill is very good and gives no further detail, plus two reviews from outside the UK. That sample is too thin to judge chuck grip or how long a pack lasts. The £47.50 price is only a saving if you already own a matching PowerShare pack and charger.
Pros
- Lowest body price in the set at £47.50
- 13 mm chuck, two speeds, and a hammer function claimed for brick
- Wood stated at 40 mm and metal at 13 mm
- Fits PowerShare 20V, 40V, and 80V MAX batteries you already own
Cons
- Batteries and charger are not included
- Torque printed as both 50 Nm and 40 Nm
- Weight printed as both 1.1 kg and 1.75 kg
- Only one UK review is in the saved listing, against 256 ratings on the listing
Best for: You already own a PowerShare pack and charger and want the WX370 body.
Less suitable: A first kit, because £47.50 does not include a battery, a charger, or a masonry diameter.

Common questions
Does the WX370.9 include a battery?
No. The title and the included-components line say the machine only. Batteries and the charger are not included.
Which torque figure is on the listing?
Maximum torque is printed as 50 Nm, and a second torque field says 40 Nm. Both are on the same page.
How many review texts are in the source file?
The listing shows 4.6 from 256 reviews. The saved listing contains one short UK review and two reviews from outside the UK, none of which describe a fault.
Our view
The WX902 is a twin kit listed at £139.00 and rated 4.6 from 148 reviews, pairing a WX370 combi stated at 50 Nm with a WX291 impact driver stated at 170 Nm. The box includes two 2.0 Ah batteries, a charger, and a bag, so one pack can charge while you keep working. Reviewers who already own Worx garden tools like sharing the packs, and several call the pair light for casual DIY. The bag is described as too small, and one long-term owner says the charging unit lets the kit down without naming the electrical fault. Spec fields list wood at 8 mm and metal at 6 mm, which conflict with the 40 mm and 13 mm bullets on the standalone WX370.1 listing. You are buying two tools, and the 170 Nm figure belongs to the driver, not to a stronger single drill.
Pros
- WX370 combi and WX291 impact driver in one kit at £139.00
- Two 2.0 Ah batteries and a charger so work can continue on the spare pack
- 50 Nm on the drill and 170 Nm on the driver, stated as two separate tools
- Packs shared with other Worx garden tools in the reviews
Cons
- Carry bag described as too small
- One long-term owner says the charging unit lets the kit down
- Wood 8 mm and metal 6 mm spec fields conflict with the standalone WX370.1 bullets
Best for: You want a combi and an impact driver that share two 2.0 Ah packs.
Less suitable: You only need one drill, or you are reading 170 Nm as the combi's torque.

Common questions
What is in the WX902 box?
The listing includes a WX370 hammer drill, a WX291 impact driver, two 2.0 Ah batteries, a charger, and a bag.
Which torque figure applies?
The spec field shows 50 Nm. The bullets also give the impact driver as 170 Nm. Those are two tools, not one drill rating.
What do reviews say about the bag and charger?
One review says the bag is too small. Another says the included charging unit lets the kit down, without naming the electrical fault.
Our view
The WX354 Slammer kit is listed at £145.99 and rated 4.5 from 60 reviews, with 60 Nm, two 2.0 Ah batteries, a one-hour charger, a case, and a masonry bit. The title claims 10 mm in reinforced concrete, and the bullets say concrete up to C30, still through a 13 mm chuck rather than an SDS fitting. In 18 UK reviews, owners describe hammer action in solid concrete and in 1960s flint brick when they used a good masonry bit. One drill stopped after about four uses, and the buyer was still waiting on the warranty claim. Another review says the included batteries were not charged on arrival, and one owner finds the tool heavier than other drills. It is a chuck drill with a concrete claim, not a rotary hammer, and the supplied bits are not the ones one concrete reviewer recommends buying.
Pros
- 60 Nm kit with a title claim of 10 mm in reinforced concrete
- Two 2.0 Ah batteries, a one-hour charger, a case, and a masonry bit
- Reviewers report solid concrete and 1960s flint brick with a good masonry bit
- Wood 40 mm and metal 13 mm stated beside the C30 concrete line
Cons
- Still a 13 mm chuck, not an SDS rotary hammer
- One drill stopped after about four uses, with the warranty claim still open
- Included batteries were not charged on arrival in one review
- Heavier than other drills in one review, at 1.8 kg with the battery in the bullets
Best for: Small holes in concrete up to the stated 10 mm C30 claim, with two batteries in the box.
Less suitable: Chiselling, holes beyond that 10 mm claim, or a buyer who wants more than 60 ratings behind the tool.

Common questions
Can the WX354 listing claim concrete?
Yes. The title says 10 mm in reinforced concrete, and the bullets say concrete up to C30 hardness. Wood is 40 mm and metal is 13 mm.
Are batteries included?
Yes. The included list has two 2.0 Ah batteries, a one-hour charger, a carry case, a double-ended bit, and a masonry bit.
Do reviews report a failure?
One review says the drill stopped after about four uses and that the warranty claim was still open. Other reviews describe successful holes in concrete and brick.
Our view
This WX370 listing is £94.99 and rated 4.3 from 42 reviews, and the highlight adds a 30-piece bit set to two 2.0 Ah batteries and a charger. The bullets state 50 Nm, wood 40 mm, and metal 13 mm, while a second torque field says 40 Nm. A speed field says 16,000 rpm, against bullet speeds of 0–400 and 0–1,600 rpm, so that higher figure is a listing conflict. Reviewers like the starter bits and say the packs also run a Worx leaf blower, and they find the included bits weaker than bits bought separately. One review says it is not for hard concrete and points to an SDS instead. Another says this drill failed after about three years of light home use. Against the WX370.1 at £76.94, you are paying more here for the bit set.
Pros
- 50 Nm combi with two 2.0 Ah batteries, a charger, and a 30-piece bit set
- Wood 40 mm and metal 13 mm in the bullets
- Described as light for general DIY
- Packs also run a Worx leaf blower in the reviews
Cons
- £94.99, above the WX370.1 kit at £76.94
- Included bits described as weaker than bits bought separately
- One review says it is not for hard concrete
- Listing conflicts include 16,000 rpm and a second torque figure of 40 Nm
Best for: You want this WX370 with a 30-piece starter bit set in the same box.
Less suitable: Hard concrete, or a buyer who can take the cheaper WX370.1 kit without those bits.

Common questions
How is this WX370 different from the WX370.1?
This listing’s highlight adds a 30-piece bit set. The price here is £94.99, against £76.94 for WX370.1. Both claim two batteries and a charger.
Why are there two speed figures?
The bullets say 0–400 and 0–1,600 rpm. A separate spec field says 16,000 rpm. The 16,000 figure conflicts with the rest of the listing.
What do reviews say about the bits?
One review says the included drill bits were weaker than bits bought separately. Another says the drill is not meant for hard concrete.
Our view
The WX391 is a compact rotary hammer listed at £103.99 and rated 4.3 from 10 reviews, with 1.2 J, up to 6,400 bpm, and concrete and masonry stated up to 13 mm. The box includes one 2.0 Ah battery WA3639, charger WA3802, SDS bits, and a keyless adaptor chuck. The seven UK reviews in the file praise it for hammer drilling and for fixing concrete fence posts when it stays on hammer work. One buyer says the plug-in chuck is clunky and unbalances the tool. Another says the hammer kept cutting out in a wall and went back to a corded Black & Decker. Chisel mode is not stated in the bullets. Ten ratings is a thin sample, so those faults are single reports, and this is the smaller SDS if your holes stay inside 13 mm and you want a battery in the box.
Pros
- 1.2 J rotary hammer with one 2.0 Ah battery and charger WA3802
- Concrete and masonry stated up to 13 mm, at up to 6,400 bpm
- SDS bits plus an adaptor chuck for round-shank bits
- Described as small and strong for hammer drilling, including concrete fence posts
Cons
- 4.3 from only 10 reviews, with seven UK reviews in the file
- Adaptor chuck described as clunky and unbalanced
- One review says the hammer cut out in a wall
- Chisel mode is not stated
Best for: Holes up to 13 mm in concrete or masonry when you want a battery included.
Less suitable: Chiselling, holes towards 22 mm, or screwdriving through the adaptor chuck.

Common questions
Is a battery included with the WX391?
Yes. The included list names a 2.0 Ah battery WA3639 and charger WA3802, plus SDS bits and a keyless adaptor chuck.
How does it differ from the WX381.9?
This listing states 1.2 J and concrete up to 13 mm, and it includes a battery. The WX381.9 bullets state 2.0 J and concrete up to 22 mm, with no battery in the box.
What do the few reviews say?
Seven UK reviews are in the file. One praises the hammer and dislikes the add-on chuck. One says the tool kept cutting out in a wall. The listing count is 10.

The WX354.9 is the bare Slammer listed at £208.15 and rated 4.0 from 94 reviews, with the same 60 Nm and 10 mm reinforced-concrete claim as the kitted WX354, and no battery in the box. On these two amazon.co.uk listings the kit with two batteries is £145.99, so the body-only price is the higher one. Reviewers describe brick, a concrete lintel, and engineering brick as manageable, and one prefers the balance to a Makita they already owned. The same file then records failures: one tool stopped after about 12 months, one broke within a month of light use and was replaced, a first unit arrived unusable and a replacement later failed, and a rotation switch broke. Several owners say warranty help was slow or useless. The mode ring is easy to knock while you change a bit, and the chuck is hard to release after it has been tightened.
Pros
- 60 Nm Slammer claim of 10 mm in reinforced concrete, with C30 in the bullets
- 13 mm chuck, an 18+1+1 clutch, and two speeds
- Reviewers describe brick, a concrete lintel, and engineering brick as manageable
- An 8 mm masonry bit is in the box
Cons
- £208.15 with no battery, against the WX354 kit at £145.99 with two batteries
- 4.0 from 94 reviews, with several early failures in the file
- Warranty help described as slow or useless
- Mode ring easy to knock, and the chuck hard to release after tightening
Best for: You already own PowerShare packs and still want this Slammer body after comparing the kit price.
Less suitable: Anyone who can buy the cheaper kitted WX354, or anyone who needs a cleaner failure record in these reviews.

Common questions
Does the WX354.9 include a battery?
No. The included list is the drill, an 8 mm masonry bit, a bit clip, a double-ended bit, and a hook.
Why is the price higher than the WX354 kit?
On these two amazon.co.uk listings the bare WX354.9 is £208.15 and the WX354 kit, with two batteries, is £145.99. The saved listings do not explain the gap.
What failures do the reviews describe?
Captured reviews include a unit that arrived unusable, tools that stopped within a month or after about a year of light use, a broken rotation switch, and slow warranty help.
How we compared
We checked 38 Worx drill listings and kept 11 on this page. The order uses the amazon.co.uk star rating, the review count, the stated limit, and whether a battery is in the box. Prices are GBP from those listings on 15 October 2026. We did not run a lab test, and we did not treat a manufacturer runtime claim as a measured result.

Mechanism
25%A combi hammer rattles a bit in a chuck. An SDS rotary hammer strikes the bit and is rated in joules. A 60 Nm combi does not stand in for a 2.0 J rotary hammer.
2
Stated limit
25%Wood, metal, masonry, and concrete figures come from the amazon.co.uk bullets or the Worx UK page. A C30 claim on the WX354 is not a limit for every concrete floor.

Box contents
20%A .9 body has no pack. Kits here include one or two 2.0 Ah batteries, and some add a charger, a bag, or a case.

Worx drill buying guide
Choose the mechanism before the price. A chuck combi covers screws, timber, and small masonry holes. An SDS covers concrete and, on the WX381.9, chiselling. Then check whether the listing is a kit or a bare .9 body, and whether you already own a PowerShare pack. The figures below are stated limits and amazon.co.uk prices, not a workshop test.
What is a Worx drill?
A Worx drill in this comparison is a cordless tool on the PowerShare platform. You separate the models by mechanism before you compare a torque figure. A combi hammer is a rattle in a 13 mm keyless chuck. It drills, drives screws, and hammers small masonry holes. An SDS rotary hammer strikes the bit and is rated in joules. A 60 Nm combi does not replace a 2.0 J SDS. The chuck combis here are the WX370, the WX352, the WX355, and the WX354 Slammer.
Best for
- A flat or house where one combi kit covers furniture, shelves, and brick plugs
- Concrete, engineering brick, or chiselling, with an SDS chosen by joules and hole size
Not ideal for
- A first drill bought as a bare body when you have no PowerShare pack or charger
- Trade, professional, or rental use under the Worx DIY warranty
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Buying a bare tool with no pack at home
A .9 model does not include a battery or a charger. The WX370.9 at about £47.50 plus a separate 2.0 Ah pack is not automatically cheaper than the WX370.1 kit at about £76.94 with two packs and a charger.
- 2
Reading 20V Max as a stronger drill
18V (20V MAX) is the PowerShare label. It is not a measured advantage over every 18 V drill, and it does not mean a DeWalt or Makita pack will fit.
- 3
Treating a combi as an SDS
Hammering with a wood bit, or trusting included bits in hard brick, is a common miss. The WX354’s 10 mm C30 claim does not apply to every concrete floor, and the bare WX354.9 is not a better tool because the price is higher.
What to weigh up
Mechanism and stated limit
HighA combi hammer rattles a bit in a 13 mm keyless chuck. An SDS rotary hammer strikes the bit and is rated in joules. The chuck combis here are the WX370, the WX352, the WX355, and the WX354 Slammer. The WX391 is 1.2 J, with concrete stated up to 13 mm, and chisel mode is not stated. The WX381.9 is 2.0 J, with concrete stated up to 22 mm, and the bullets include chiselling. A 60 Nm combi does not replace that 2.0 J SDS. The WX354 claims 10 mm in C30 concrete and is still a chuck drill.
Kit contents and PowerShare packs
HighA .9 model is bare. The WX370.9, WX352.9, WX381.9, and WX354.9 do not include a battery or a charger. Two 2.0 Ah packs come with the WX370.1, the WX352, the WX354, and the WX902. The WX355.1 and the WX391 are sold with one 2.0 Ah pack. If you already own PowerShare packs, price the bare body against the matching kit before you treat it as a saving. uk.worx.com lists a 2.0 Ah pack at £31.99 on the same day as these amazon.co.uk prices.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You already own PowerShare packs
A .9 body can make sense once you have priced the kit. The WX352.9 is a 60 Nm brushless body at 4.8 from 218 reviews, and the battery and charger are not in the box.
Concrete or chiselling
Use an SDS when the job is concrete, engineering brick, or chiselling. The WX381.9 states 2.0 J and concrete up to 22 mm, and the bullets include a chisel mode. It is a bare tool.
Common questions about Worx drills
Which Worx drill is the top pick in 2026?
The top pick on this page is the WORX WX355.1, listed at about £89.00. It is a compact brushless combi at 55 Nm, and the highlight includes one 2.0 Ah battery, a charger, and a case. Among kits that include a battery and have at least 100 amazon.co.uk reviews, it has the highest rating here: 4.7 from 228 reviews. Leave it if you need two batteries in the box, or if the job is repeated concrete.
How much does a Worx drill cost in the UK?
On these amazon.co.uk listings the bare WX370.9 is about £47.50 and the WX370.1 kit is about £76.94 with two 2.0 Ah batteries and a charger. The WX355.1 is about £89.00 with one battery. The WX352 kit is about £110.98 and the WX354 kit is about £145.99. The WX391 SDS kit is about £103.99. The bare WX354.9 is about £208.15, above the kitted WX354. A bare price is only lower once you already own a PowerShare pack and a charger.
What should you check before you buy a Worx drill?
Check the mechanism first, then the stated limit, then the box. A combi uses a 13 mm chuck and a torque figure in Nm. An SDS is rated in joules. Confirm whether a battery and charger are included, because a .9 model is the body only. Only PowerShare packs fit. Then read the review pattern on that ASIN. The WX352.9 is 4.8 from 218 reviews and is bare. The WX370.1 is 4.6 from 555 reviews and is a full kit.
Is a Worx combi hammer the same as an SDS drill?
No. A combi hammer rattles the bit in a keyless chuck. An SDS rotary hammer strikes the bit. The WX354 claims 10 mm in C30 concrete and remains a chuck drill. The WX391 is 1.2 J, with concrete stated up to 13 mm. The WX381.9 is 2.0 J, with concrete up to 22 mm, and it chisels. Use a combi for shelves and brick plugs, and an SDS for concrete or chiselling. See the Worx cordless drill comparison.
What does 20V Max mean on a Worx drill?
18V (20V MAX) is the PowerShare label, not a second voltage and not proof that the drill is stronger than every 18 V tool. uk.worx.com says the same 20 V Max packs run 20 V, 40 V, and 80 V Worx tools. Packs from DeWalt or Makita do not fit. A bare listing still needs one of those Worx packs and a charger before it will drill.
Does the Worx warranty cover trade use?
Register at register.worx.com within 30 days for the extended DIY warranty. Worx states 2+1 years on the Worx series and 3+2 years on Nitro. Trade, professional, and rental use are excluded. The care line is +44 345 202 9679. That warranty does not replace your rights against the seller under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. At work, PUWER applies, and the vibration regulations set a hand-arm action value of 2.5 m/s² A(8) and a limit of 5 m/s² A(8).
What if the drill or a supplied bit is faulty?
Seller duties under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 sit beside the Worx warranty. A fault can mean a refund inside 30 days, then repair or replacement. The charger should have a BS 1363 plug. These listings do not state the plug. Great Britain accepts UKCA or CE marking on electrical equipment. Keep the order details and the listing of what was in the box.
When should you stop and call a professional?
Call a professional for suspected asbestos, a structural opening, or cable chasing you cannot trace. Paid work needs a vibration and dust assessment that this comparison does not provide. HSE flags regular hammer use beyond about 15 minutes a day, and concrete drilling can release respirable crystalline silica. Stop if the tool or the charger has failed electrically. Do not keep drilling on a chuck that slips or a hammer that cuts out.
Our verdict
Separate these Worx drills by mechanism before you compare a torque figure. The top pick is WORX WX352.9 Nitro, with the highest score in this comparison (9.6 out of 10, from 218 amazon.co.uk reviews). If you want the lowest price among products that include at least one battery, the best value is the WORX WX370.1, with the chuck-slip comments in its reviews left in view. For concrete or chiselling, move to an SDS and read the joules, not the combi's Nm.
