In industrial manufacturing, construction, home renovation and daily maintenance, electric drills serve as core power tools. Their performance and reliability directly impact work efficiency and output quality. With the technological upgrading and global expansion of China's power tool industry, a number of local brands have emerged as international leaders, thanks to their superior quality, innovative design and cost-effectiveness. This article details the applications and key specifications of electric drills, while highlighting China's top electric drill suppliers and brands in 2025.
I. Electric Drills: Applications, Functions and Core Specifications
① Applications & Functions: All-Purpose Tools from Household to Industrial Use
The core function of an electric drill is to drive drill bits to rotate or impact via a motor, enabling drilling and screw fastening on various materials. It is an indispensable tool in modern production and daily life:
Household Scenarios: Furniture assembly, wall drilling, home appliance installation, daily repairs, etc.
Professional Scenarios: Concrete drilling in construction, woodworking, metal component installation, pipeline pre-embedding in decoration projects, etc.
Industrial Scenarios: Precision drilling in machinery manufacturing, auto maintenance, equipment assembly, etc.
Its importance lies not only in boosting work efficiency (5–10 times faster than manual tools) but also in ensuring construction precision and reducing labor intensity, making it a must-have for both professionals and ordinary consumers.
② Core Specifications: 6mm, 10mm, 13mm and Their Application Scenarios
The chuck size (i.e., the maximum drill bit diameter the chuck can accommodate) directly determines the scope of application of an electric drill. Among them, 6mm, 10mm and 13mm are the most mainstream specifications in the market:
6mm: Mainly small lithium-ion drills, lightweight (usually under 1kg) and highly portable. Suitable for drilling and screw fastening on lightweight materials such as wood, plastic and thin metal, catering to light-duty scenarios like household and office maintenance.
10mm: Balancing portability and power, compatible with a variety of materials. Capable of handling medium-duty tasks such as solid wood drilling, light wall punching and home appliance installation. It is the "versatile specification" for household and professional entry-level users, and also the core product line of most brands.
13mm: More powerful, mostly equipped with brushless motors. Suitable for hard materials such as concrete and thick metal, ideal for heavy-duty scenarios like decoration construction and industrial assembly, making it the top choice for professional practitioners.
