Drills & Wrenches

Most online drills and wrenches in Australia ship from overseas warehouses, which is why "fast delivery" usually means six weeks. Ours don't. We hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses and dispatch within 1-2 business days. Drills and wrenches from $40.

What drill or wrench do I need?

Match the tool to the job. Cordless drills (18V, 20V) handle 90% of home DIY. Impact drivers drive long screws and lag bolts without stripping. Hammer drills tackle brick and concrete. For automotive and mechanical work, impact wrenches remove stuck lug nuts and bolts far faster than manual sockets.

What types of drills and wrenches are available?

You'll find cordless drills, impact drivers, hammer drills, impact wrenches and ratchet wrenches. Each targets a different job type:

Type Best For Price Guide Key Feature
Cordless Drill General DIY, everyday use $40–$300 18V/20V, keyless chuck
Impact Driver Long screws, decking $60–$300 High torque, quick-lock
Hammer Drill Brick, concrete, masonry $80–$400 SDS or hammer mode
Impact Wrench Automotive, mechanical $120–$600 Compact or full-size
Ratchet Wrench Sets Precision, no power $50–$250 Metric and imperial sizes

How much do drills and wrenches cost in Australia?

Basic corded drills and ratchet sets start from $40. Mid-range 18V cordless drills and impact drivers sit between $100–$300. Professional impact wrenches and brushless kits go $300–$700. We dispatch within 1–2 business days from our Australian warehouses.

Quick Buyer's Checklist

  • Voltage: 18V/20V suits most home DIY; 36V+ for professional continuous use
  • Brushless motor: Costs 30-50% more but lasts 3-5× longer than brushed
  • Chuck size: 10mm for standard bits; 13mm for larger hole saws and spade bits
  • Torque rating: 40+ Nm for general use; 80+ Nm for decking and heavy driving
  • Battery brand: Stick to one brand's battery system across your tool collection

What most tool sites won't admit

Almost every drill and wrench sold online in Australia is imported from China, Vietnam or Taiwan — including ours. The real difference isn't where they're made; it's what happens after they land. Marketplaces dropship straight from overseas containers, which is why "fast delivery" turns into six weeks. We import in bulk, hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, and ship from there.

The other thing nobody mentions: cheap $40 cordless drills die within 6–12 months of moderate use. The batteries lose capacity fast, the chucks strip, and the internal gears wear out. A $150 mid-range brushless cordless drill will still be running strong after 5 years. If you use a drill more than monthly, spend the extra — you'll save money long term.

Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane: 3–5 business days. Perth and Adelaide: 5–8 days. Regional and remote areas: 7–14 days.

Can I pay with Afterpay, Zip or PayPal?

Some ship as kits with 1-2 batteries and a charger. Others ship as "bare unit" (tool only) — cheaper if you already have compatible batteries. Check the product page.
