The best cordless tools sets, compared.
Top pick: JCB Pro 18 V 5-piece kit Best value: TLGREEN 138-piece 12 V drill kit – About £49.99 for a 12 V drill and a 138-piece box, 4.5 from 144 reviews, when 22 Nm covers light home screws. Updated October 2026.
A cordless tools set is a box with at least one battery tool, usually a charger and a case, and sometimes several powered bodies or a tray of hand tools. Shoppers use one for a first flat, for fastening and light cutting, or as a stand-in for a trade kit. A high piece count is still one drill. A 21 V title is not automatically more powerful than an 18 V pack, because UK brands print a working voltage and many titles print a peak figure with no cell count. Separate power tools versus one drill in a box is the fork in the [combo or toolbox guide](/hub/tools/cordless-tools-set/sub/cordless-tools-set-combo-or-toolbox). Piece count does not move a set into a higher price band. Quality is the kit shape, whether you can buy the same battery again, and whether the printed torque and the review themes match the job.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Will you cut as well as drive screws?
The JCB kit is the most complete group of separate power tools here, pairing a combi drill and impact driver with a 185 mm saw, 115 mm grinder and jigsaw. Four JCB 18 V batteries in two capacities and a 4.5 A dual charger make it better equipped for moving between jobs than kits with one shared body. The listing prints 160 Nm for the combi and 230 Nm for the impact, while two written reviews describe secure grips and real plywood work. Those positive signals sit behind a 5.0 rating from only three reviews, so they do not establish long-term reliability across a broad sample. One reviewer also found the combi heavy and its masonry mode slow, and the soft bag leaves accessories loose rather than organised in a moulded case. This is the top pick when you will genuinely use the saw, grinder and jigsaw, but its £549.99 price is difficult to justify for routine screws and occasional drilling.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A reader who will use the saw and grinder and wants JCB 18 V packs in the box.
Less suitable: A first flat that only needs screws, or a buyer who treats three reviews as a long-term test.
Specifications
Common questions
What batteries are in the JCB kit?
The included-components line lists two 2 Ah packs, two 5 Ah packs and a 4.5 A dual charger, plus the five tools and a soft bag.
Is the 5.0 score from a large sample?
The listing shows 5.0 out of 5 from 3 reviews. Two written reviews captured for this listing are positive. That is the whole sample captured, not a wide UK survey.
Will it drill masonry quickly?
One reviewer said the combi’s masonry setting is a little weak and slow, and that the drill is strong on timber and metal. It is a combi, not a separate SDS hammer.
The NAPASA listing presents one 21 V drill with two claimed 2.0 Ah batteries and a toolbox built up to 118 pieces. Its printed figures include 65 Nm, two speed ranges and a roughly 10 mm chuck, giving it stronger specifications on paper than the 12 V TLGREEN set. The review evidence cannot safely support that impression, however, because 24 of 27 captured UK review texts describe a different 3.6 V USB screwdriver. Even the battery information conflicts: the title says 4000 mAh while Amazon's capacity field says 2000 mAh. One short review says the product is working well, but that is too little product-matched evidence to validate the 4.7-from-56 headline. Consider it only if you can confirm the exact contents and current reviews yourself; do not choose it because of the displayed star score.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only if you judge the printed spec and then check the reviews are about this set.
Less suitable: A buyer who treats 4.7 from 56 as evidence this drill has been widely reviewed.
Specifications
Common questions
Are the 56 reviews about this drill?
The listing line is 4.7 out of 5 from 56 reviews. In the captured UK review texts, 24 of 27 describe a 3.6 V USB screwdriver. Do not read those comments as tests of the 21 V set.
How many batteries are listed?
A bullet says two 2.0 Ah packs. The title says 4000 mAh and the battery-capacity field says 2000 mAh. The listing does not reconcile those figures.
What chuck size is printed?
The listing says a maximum chuck size of 0.38 inches, about 10 mm, with a keyless chuck claimed in the bullets.
The TLGREEN pairs a light 12 V drill with a 138-piece toolbox for basic jobs around a new home. Reviewers describe it as manageable rather than heavy, and the listing names a 2,000 mAh battery with a 12.6 V charger. Its 4.5 rating from 144 UK reviews provides a broader product signal than several higher-scoring listings in this comparison. The printed 22 Nm is also the lowest torque figure here, so this is a set for ordinary screws and light drilling rather than masonry or thick timber. One reviewer calls the case flimsy, and Amazon requires an age check because the kit contains a bladed item. At £49.99 it is the best-value pick for light household work, provided you do not mistake its large piece count for several power tools.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Light home screws and a box of hand tools, if 12 V and 22 Nm are enough.
Less suitable: Masonry, thick timber, or a buyer who wanted an 18 V platform.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this an 18 V drill?
No. The title and the bullets say 12 V, with 22 Nm and speeds of 400 and 1,500 rpm. The battery line is 2000 mAh.
Why is there an age check?
The listing says the product is or contains a bladed item, is not for sale to people under 18, and may need an online age check.
What do the reviews actually criticise?
Eighteen UK reviews are mostly short praise for a home kit. The only build comment with any detail is one buyer who found the case a bit flimsy. No chuck or battery failure is described in that set.
The DEKO is a single 20 V drill surrounded by bits and hand tools, not a combo kit with several powered bodies. Its 4.2 rating from 196 UK reviews is the broadest review pool in this comparison, and buyers often frame it as a useful first household set or gift. For ordinary screws and light jobs, several owners found the drill adequate and the case conveniently arranged. The accessories are the weak point: reviews report hex bits that do not fit correctly, bits rounding off after a few screws and tools arriving loose in the tray. Two buyers also found the drill short of torque on stubborn bolts, while the included-components field does not explicitly name a charger. It offers a practical starting box if you are willing to replace weak bits, but it is not suited to shed-building or demanding fasteners.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A first flat if you will replace the bits and only drive ordinary screws.
Less suitable: Shed-building or machine bolts, where reviewers already found the bits and torque short.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a charger listed?
The included-components field says “Cordless drill, 186 pieces”. It does not name a charger. A bullet describes a 1.5 Ah pack and a 1.5 hour charge claim, which only makes sense if a charger is supplied, but the field does not say so.
Are the 186 pieces mostly power tools?
No. Reviews describe one drill plus hand tools and bits. Piece count is not five power tools.
What do reviewers say about the bits?
One buyer said six hex bits were half-size and did not fit most screws. Another said bits rounded off after a few screws on a shed, while the drill itself still turned.
The TEENO combines several interchangeable heads with one powered body, so it covers drilling, impact work, sawing and oscillating tasks without storing five complete tools. At £90.99, it is substantially cheaper than the five-body JCB kit, and reviewers often describe useful DIY performance and value. One buyer reports cutting branches of about eight inches with the chainsaw head, but that single experience is not a general cutting capacity claim. The shared-body design also creates a single point of failure: reviews mention jammed heads, a snapped chuck screw and a chuck that seized after roughly five months. Its title says 20 V while Amazon's voltage field says 18 V, and a claimed Makita fit was not confirmed by one reviewer. It is a flexible occasional-use kit if you accept those uncertainties, but not the safer choice for daily cutting or guaranteed battery compatibility.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Occasional DIY if you want several heads in one case and can return a failed chuck.
Less suitable: Daily cutting, or anyone who needs a second brand’s battery to fit for certain.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this several tools or one body?
It is a combination kit. The listing describes swappable heads, including a drill, reciprocating saw, chainsaw, impact and oscillating tool, rather than five separate drill-style bodies.
Does a Makita battery fit?
A bullet claims Makita compatibility. A UK reviewer said they still could not tell which pack fits. Do not buy it on that claim alone.
Why do the voltage figures disagree?
The title says 20 V and the Amazon voltage field says 18 V. The listing does not explain the difference or state a cell count.
The QQ CAT package puts four separate cordless bodies in one case, including a hammer drill, 125 mm grinder, impact wrench and drill driver. Its bullets also promise four batteries, which gives each tool a pack on paper, although the included-components field names only the case. The captured UK rating is 3.2 from eight reviews, so the evidence is both limited and mixed. One owner praised receiving four batteries, but another reported that the impact would not run in reverse and therefore could not undo fasteners. Two reviews describe tools failing on first use, which is a serious reservation for a kit built around breadth. This set suits a buyer prepared to verify every body, battery and direction control immediately, rather than someone who needs a proven platform for regular work.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A buyer who wants four bodies and four packs in one case and accepts an 8-review sample.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a proven reverse on the impact, or a brand they can buy bare tools for later.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the QQ CAT kit include batteries?
The bullets say four 21 V lithium-ion batteries and a carry case. The Amazon included-components field says only “case”. Treat the four-pack line as a bullet, and check the box against that list.
Will the impact undo bolts?
One UK review says the impact moves in one direction only and cannot unscrew. The listing does not contradict that review with a reverse specification.
Is 21 V a higher platform than 18 V?
The listing prints 21 V and 45 Nm on the drill. It does not state a cell count, so the voltage label alone does not show a larger battery system.
Shelf prices, stars, and review counts are the amazon.co.uk figures stored for these six listings. They are not a live reload on 17 October 2026. The editorial score on each card is the 0–100 figure already stored for this set, shown here on a 1–10 scale. It follows kit shape, the battery line, printed torque, and whether the review text matches that ASIN. It is not a laboratory test and not a vibration measurement.
Kit shape
25%Separate bodies do different jobs. A multi-head kit shares one motor. A toolbox set is one drill plus bits, however large the piece count.
Battery platform
20%Packs from DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch Professional, JCB and Einhell do not interchange. Two packs beat one. Amp-hours are capacity, not power. A 21 V title is not a larger system without a cell count.
Torque and chuck
20%Printed newton-metres are seller figures. 22 Nm is light screws. 160 Nm is a different tool. A chuck of about 10 mm limits the bit.
Review evidence
20%Stars and review counts come from the amazon.co.uk line for that ASIN. A tiny sample, or review text about a different product, stays visible in the score.
Guards and marking
15%Match the disc to the grinder. Great Britain machinery can carry UKCA or CE, and instructions should be in English. Northern Ireland uses the CE route.
Start with kit shape, then the battery you can buy again, then printed torque. A star line does not tell you those three. The six listings are amazon.co.uk pages, with the prices and review counts stored for this comparison, not a live reload on 17 October 2026. A 180-piece toolbox is still one drill. A 21 V title is not automatically more powerful than an 18 V nominal pack.
A cordless tools set on amazon.co.uk is a box with at least one battery power tool, usually a charger and a case. Some boxes hold several separate tools. Some hold one body and a set of heads. Many are one drill plus a tray of bits and hand tools. Shoppers use them for a first flat, for fastening and light cutting, or as a stand-in for a trade kit. Quality is the kit shape, whether you can buy the same battery again, and whether the printed torque and the review themes match the job.
UK brands print a working voltage. Many marketplace titles print a peak figure and no cell count. 21 V on QQ CAT or NAPASA is not, by itself, more tool than the JCB 18 V kit.
DEKO’s 186 pieces, NAPASA’s 118 pieces and TLGREEN’s 138 pieces are one drill plus hand tools. Separate powered bodies in this set are JCB and QQ CAT. TEENO shares one motor across heads.
A TEENO bullet claims Makita fit, and a reviewer could not confirm a pack. One QQ CAT review says the impact runs one way only. Do not keep a one-way impact, and do not buy on a compatibility line the listing does not prove.
Separate bodies do different jobs. A multi-head kit shares one motor. A toolbox set is one drill plus bits. DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch Professional, JCB and Einhell packs do not interchange, and an adapter that bypasses battery management is a mistake. Two packs beat one. Amp-hours are capacity, not power. JCB includes two 2 Ah packs and two 5 Ah packs. TLGREEN lists 2,000 mAh. DEKO states 1.5 Ah. QQ CAT’s bullets say four batteries, and the included-components field says only a case.
Printed newton-metres are seller figures. 22 Nm is light screws. 65 Nm is the NAPASA drill on paper. 160 Nm and 230 Nm are the JCB combi and impact. A chuck listed at 0.38 inch, about 10 mm, limits the bit. Match the review text to the ASIN: NAPASA’s 4.7 from 56 is mostly text about a 3.6 V screwdriver, and JCB’s 5.0 is three reviews. Match the disc to the grinder and do not grind without a guard. Great Britain machinery can carry UKCA or CE. Instructions should be in English.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want one drill, bits and a case around £50, and you will not drill masonry. The TLGREEN 12 V set is about £49.99, with 22 Nm printed and 4.5 from 144 reviews. The piece count is hand tools, not extra power tools, and the listing requires an age check because it contains a blade.
You will use a circular saw and a grinder as well as a drill, and you want named torque and four packs in the box. The JCB Pro 18 V kit is the top pick at about £549.99. The star line is 5.0 from three reviews, and one reviewer found masonry mode slow.
You want a drill, a saw and an oscillating head in one case, and you can return a failed chuck. TEENO is about £90.99, with 4.1 from 104 reviews. The title says 20 V and the voltage field says 18 V. A Makita-fit bullet was not confirmed by a reviewer.
The top pick is NAPASA 118-piece 21 V drill set, with the highest score in this comparison (9.4 out of 10, from 56 amazon.co.uk reviews). The best value is the TLGREEN 138-piece 12 V set, at about £49.99, for ordinary screws when 22 Nm is enough, with 4.5 from 144 reviews. A high piece count on DEKO or NAPASA is still one drill. Do not read 21 V as a larger platform than 18 V without a cell count.
TLGREEN 138-piece 12 V drill kit
About £49.99 for a 12 V drill and a 138-piece box, 4.5 from 144 reviews, when 22 Nm covers light home screws.
