REVIEW: NANWEI Electric Drill and Screwdriver

In this world of technology, I never imagined that I would analyze a screwdriver. The good side is that the Electric drill NANWEI that I've tested in the last few days is excellent. It has a nice design, came with a case, several accessories and has a dual function — drill and screwdriver. Even though it was something different from what I'm used to testing, I had good surprises both in the use and in the presentation of this drill from the NANWEI brand, since it also has the option of being a screwdriver, which is wonderful.

Construction

Before talking about all the accessories and functions of the drill, it is important to talk about its construction. Despite being simple, it has a good and beautiful finish, especially on the handle, the part that we hold when using. For a better grip, the grip is coated with a rubberized material, preventing your hand from slipping when using it.

The rest of the body is made of strong plastic, but I wouldn't want to drop it on the floor to test it out. The model came in gray with red details, a beautiful contrast. At the top of the drill is the impact mode selector switch, and on the side we find the clockwise and counterclockwise selector switch – which unfortunately does not provide an indication of which direction is for each side of this selector.

Unlike drills without dual functions (drill and screwdriver), this model has a keyless chuck, using a quick-change drill and bits fixing system. Also on the chuck we find the torque control with 25 settings.

What's in the kit?

The screwdriver and drill NANWEI no joke, and in the kit I received for testing it came bem complete. The set comes in a nice suitcase, great for storing everything safely and avoiding mess. With it, you'll be able to store the tool anywhere, without everything gathering dust or losing something important.

In addition to the drill, in the kit we also have two batteries, instruction manual and 11 parts for you to get the most out of it. Check out what's included:

• 9 Toecaps (bits) of Wrench (5 to 13 mm);
• 10 toe caps (bits) of Screwdrivers, Philips, Estrela and Torque;
• 1 Bookmark;
• 1 Extender;
• 1 Flexible Extender;
• 1 Sandpaper;
• 3 Iron Drills (3,4 and 5 mm);
• 1 Philips Wrench;
• 1 Phillips Screwdriver.

What are the functions?

the drill of NANWEI is interesting, because it works in two ways: drilling and screwing. With the selector switch on the sides, you can leave it clockwise (mandatory mode for use as a drill), counterclockwise or in the middle, where it is locked and secure.

The NANWEI drill has 2 speeds, where 1 is recommended for screwing (with higher torque) and the second for drilling holes (higher speed). Even so, the trigger has variable intensity, making it easy to use as a screwdriver – which also brings torque adjustment with 25 intensities.

In the dark, you won't have any problems either, as we have a bottom built-in, with a battery level marker. When it is green, full battery, yellow, normal battery and red, it is low battery.

How is the handling?

the drill NANWEI brings great options and features, but you have to remember the category it falls into. If your goal is to do basic maintenance in your home, put up shelves or other things that resemble that, it will do the trick.

However, if your interest is professional, then maybe it doesn't have all the power it needs. Even with the impact function and compatibility with different diameters of drill bits and accessories, it is indicated for domestic use and should not be put to the test for heavier applications.

That said, the drill is super simple to use. After charging the battery, all you will need to do is snap this battery at the bottom of the drill. Now you will be able to enjoy all the functions of your drill.

To place parts, such as drill bits, for example, is very easy, since the chuck here is also very simple. Turning it to the left will open it and to the right it will close. You just need to open until you can fit the desired piece and then tighten until it is firm. Also, once the chuck has become firm, it will require a little bit of force to make the change. It's pretty simple, but it requires you to understand how it works.

Battery

In the kit received, came two batteries. They are charged with the external charger included in the box and reach a full charge in around 1 hour, quite a while. The usage time is also very good, since each of the batteries can hold about 4 to 5 hours of use, depending on how you are going to use the screwdriver.

Another important point to mention is that the tested drill came with a 42V battery, but there are also versions with 18V ou 12V which, of course, will have less capacity, in addition to being cheaper.

Completion and availability

The NANWEI electric drill is excellent at what it proposes. The kit brings everything you need to make holes at home, whether in masonry or wood, and the screwdriver mode adds more practicality when fixing screws on walls or furniture assembly, and many other possible uses.

Considering everything it offers, with two batteries and accessories, the amount charged R$ 350 in Inventory it's a fair thing. It is important to remember again that the focus of this drill is to be something practical and for home use. If you need a drill for professional use, consider looking for a specific model for this type of work.
