AwxryoX Cordless Drill Review: Right for Our Shop?
Ever find yourself halfway through a cabinet build, trying to keep a pilot hole dead-center while your bulky drill bumps the workpiece—and suddenly “precision” turns into a stripped screw and a wobbly hinge? In small shops and crowded garages, accuracy, control, and compact storage matter just as much as raw power.
That’s where the AwxryoX Brushless Compact drill Tool Set aims to fit: a 20V cordless drill rated at 60 N·m (531 in-lb) paired with a 135-piece household combo kit in a dedicated toolbox.On paper, the brushless motor promises longer motor life and less heat, while the 3/8″ keyless metal chuck and 21+1 clutch settings are built for more consistent driving depth—important when we’re working with plywood edges or hardwood face frames.
In this review, we’ll break down the key specs, build quality, kit usefulness, battery practicality (two 1.5Ah packs get mixed feedback), and who this set suits—from first-time DIYers to budget-minded woodworkers needing a compact backup.
We’ve spent years around woodworking tools, and we’ll keep the focus on what matters at the bench: control, durability, and value without hype.
Tool Overview and First Impressions for the Woodshop
When we first open the AwxryoX Brushless Compact Drill tool Set in the woodshop, it reads like a “grab-and-go” kit for speedy joinery fixes and hardware work rather than a dedicated cabinetmaker’s drilling system. The drill itself is a 20V brushless compact model rated at 60 N·m (531 in-lb) max torque and a notably light 1.79 lb body—specs that matter when we’re driving hinge screws overhead, boring pilot holes in face frames, or working inside a carcass where a bulky drill fights for clearance.The 3/8” keyless metal chuck is a practical highlight for woodworking: it tends to hold small brad-point and twist bits more securely than plastic chucks, and the 2-speed gearbox plus 21+1 clutch settings gives us a way to match torque to material (soft pine will strip fast, while hardwoods like oak demand a controlled pilot hole and steady pressure). In customer feedback, the recurring themes are that it’s “lightweight and compact”, has “lots of power/torque”, and feels like a “great value for the price”—with several reviewers explicitly calling it ideal for light to medium-duty tasks, which aligns with how we’d slot it into a woodworking workflow.
Setup is straightforward: charge one of the included 2 × 20V 1.5Ah batteries, keep the other staged, and we can rotate packs during assembly work—even though reviews are mixed on battery life (some say it charges quickly and lasts well, others complain of inadequate runtime or battery issues). In practice, for clean woodworking results, we’d treat the drill as a precision tool: use the clutch to avoid overdriving into plywood edges, back up thin stock to reduce blowout, and step up bit sizes when boring larger holes to keep the drill from stalling. The kit’s strength is convenience—customers repeatedly like the sturdy case and the many accessories—but multiple reviews also warn that some included bits feel “cheap and ineffective”, so we’d plan to upgrade to quality brad-point bits and driver bits for hardwood work and consistent screw seating. our first impression is a compact, capable drill with a workshop-friendly torque range and association, best for woodworkers who want a portable set for shop maintenance, furniture assembly, and everyday drilling/driving—especially beginners building skills—rather than those expecting pro-grade consumables out of the box.

Real World Performance Driving Screws and Boring Holes in Hardwood and Softwood
In real shop terms, this AwxryoX brushless compact drill behaves like a capable “grab-and-go” driver for cabinet hardware, shop jigs, and assembly work rather than a heavy framing beast. On paper it’s rated at 60N·m (531 in-lb) peak torque on a 20V platform, and that shows up most when we’re driving screws into hardwood where you need controlled muscle instead of speed alone. With the 21+1 clutch and 2-speed gearbox, we can back the clutch down for hinge screws and trim-head fasteners (to avoid stripping), then bump it up for pocket-hole screws or longer construction screws.Customers frequently echo that it’s “powerful yet lightweight” and “pretty quiet and compact”, which matches what we look for when we’re working inside carcasses or reaching into tight assemblies; the drill is listed at only 1.79 lb, so it’s less fatiguing during repetitive driving.We do want to be realistic: several review themes note the kit’s bits can be “cheap and ineffective”, so in hardwood driving (especially with Torx or square-drive screws), we’d plan on swapping to higher-quality bits to reduce cam-out and snapped heads.
For boring holes in softwood and hardwood, the 3/8″ keyless metal chuck is a practical upgrade over plastic chucks because it tends to hold round shanks more securely—important when we’re drilling pilot holes, clearance holes, or countersinks. The kit includes 6 twist drill bits,which can cover basic pilot drilling for common wood screws,but for clean results in hardwood we still rely on sharp brad-points (and we recommend drilling pilots whenever the screw diameter is substantial or you’re near an edge). In softwood, we can often drive directly with the clutch set correctly; in hardwood, we get better control by drilling a pilot, using the drill’s lower gear for torque, and letting the clutch do its job so the screw doesn’t sink too deep or snap—exactly what the 21-position clutch is designed to prevent. Reviewers commonly praise the “value for money” and the convenience of two 20V 1.5Ah batteries for continuous work,but battery feedback is mixed (some say it charges quickly,others found it inadequate),so for longer shop sessions we’d keep both batteries charged and avoid leaning on it for all-day production drilling.
- Included accessories (highlights from the 135-piece set)
- 1× brushless drill, 2× 20V 1.5Ah batteries, 1× quick charger

| 2-speed + 21+1 clutch | Low gear for driving/controlled boring; clutch helps prevent over-driving and stripped heads in furniture work. |
| 3/8″ keyless metal chuck | Better bit retention for drilling pilots/countersinks; supports common round/hex shanks used in woodworking. |
| Weight: 1.79 lb | Comfortable for overhead installs and working inside cabinets; aligns with “lightweight and compact” reviewer feedback. |
| 2× 20V 1.5Ah batteries | convenient for alternating packs; reviewers are mixed on runtime/consistency, so manage expectations for long sessions. |
| Accessory type | Included in box | What we’d add for hardwood work |
|---|---|---|
| Drill bits | 6× twist bits | Brad-point set + a dedicated countersink |
| Driver bits | 40× assorted + 4× bits | Higher-quality Torx/Square bits to reduce cam-out |

Key Features Woodworkers Will appreciate From Brushless Power to Bit Selection
In the shop, what we appreciate most is that this set centers on a 20V brushless compact drill rated at 60 N·m (531 in-lb) of peak torque, which is plenty for driving cabinet screws, assembling jigs, and boring clean pilot holes when we match the clutch setting to the task. The drill’s 2-speed gearbox and 21+1 clutch positions matter in woodworking because they help us avoid stripping screw heads or snapping small screws in hardwoods—especially when we’re working with hinge plates or pocket-hole screws. We also like seeing a 3/8″ keyless metal chuck in a budget-friendly kit, since metal chucks tend to grip round shanks more securely than plastic ones when we’re stepping up to brad-point or twist bits. Review themes line up with that: customers repeatedly describe it as “lightweight and compact”, “quiet”, and “powerful yet lightweight”, with several calling it reliable and a good value for the price.Battery feedback is mixed—while many mention it charges quickly and the two batteries are “very convenient,” others report inadequate battery life or even a bad battery, so in a woodworking workflow we’d plan for that by rotating packs and not expecting all-day production duty from the included 2 × 1.5Ah batteries.
Bit selection is where this kit tries to win over DIY users, and woodworkers can still benefit if we treat the included bits as “starter stock” and upgrade the consumables we rely on for clean results. Customers often praise the “lots of accessories” and the way everything stores in a sturdy toolbox, but a recurring critique is that some bits feel cheap/ineffective—which matches our experience across many combo kits: the drill may be the keeper, while premium brad-point bits and driver bits are where we spend money for accuracy and fewer cam-outs. Educationally, the best approach is to use the drill’s clutch and speed correctly: we’ll drill pilots on hardwoods (oak/maple) to prevent splitting, switch to low gear for driving long screws, and let the clutch “click” rather than muscling the driver and burying fasteners below the surface. Here’s what’s included and what we’d pair it with for real woodworking use:
- Included accessories (per kit list): 1× brushless drill, 2× 20V 1.5Ah batteries,1× quick charger,1× universal flexible hose/shaft,pliers,insulating tape,Phillips screwdriver,slotted screwdriver,hex screwdriver,utility knife,electric pen/stylus,3 m tape measure,9× hex sockets,2× adapters,6× twist drill bits,4× screwdriver bits,40× assorted screwdriver bits,60× expansion screws/nuts,toolbox
- Compatible attachments/accessories (woodshop-friendly upgrades): brad-point bit set,countersink bits,pocket-hole driver bits (square/Robertson), impact-rated Phillips bits, self-centering hinge bits, 3/8″ shank sanding drums, small wire brush for hardware cleanup
- Ideal project types: flat-pack and furniture assembly, cabinet hardware install, shop fixtures (French cleat strips, tool holders), jig building, pilot-hole and countersink work, light drilling for dowel joinery (with upgraded brad-point bits)
- Wood types tested by customers: Not specified in reviews (most feedback is general “home repair” use)

Ease of Use for Beginners and Seasoned Builders Plus Workshop Storage and Value
For beginners, this set feels intentionally “low-friction” to get started with: the drill is 20V brushless, rated at 60N·m (531 in-lb) of peak torque, and the compact body plus 1.79 lb listed weight makes it less intimidating for overhead pilot holes, hinge screws, and hardware installs in the shop. The 3/8″ keyless metal chuck is the kind of detail we like to see at this price because it grips bits more securely than many plastic chucks—helpful when we’re stepping up from a 1/16″ pilot bit to a larger brad-point or twist bit. The 21+1 clutch and 2-speed gearbox matter most for learning good technique: we can set a lower clutch number for driving screws into pine without stripping, then bump up torque for hardwoods like oak or maple (still best practice to pre-drill). Customer feedback lines up with that learning curve—people repeatedly describe it as “lightweight and compact”, “powerful yet lightweight”, and “pretty quiet and compact”, while at least one review notes it’s “not for the pro’s”, which is a fair reminder that this kit is aimed at light-to-medium duty work rather than daily jobsite abuse.
For seasoned builders, the value is less about chasing premium feel and more about having a ready-to-go secondary drill and a tidy, portable kit that protects our workflow. The 135-piece assortment and the included two 20V 1.5Ah batteries (with a quick charger) are convenient when we’re bouncing between a bench and an install location; reviewers frequently enough call out “great value for money”, “lots of accessories”, and a case that’s “sturdy and makes it easy to store and carry.” Having mentioned that, we should interpret the accessory bundle like we do most combo kits: several customers praise the completeness, but others mention the bits feel “cheap and ineffective” and one even reported batteries that “did not work”—so it’s smart to treat the included bits as a starter supply and upgrade the frequently used drivers and drill bits to higher-quality options for cleaner woodworking results (less cam-out, fewer snapped screws, more accurate holes). as workshop storage goes, the fitted toolbox helps us keep the drill, charger, and hand tools from migrating into random drawers—useful for small-shop organization and for keeping a “house kit” separate from our dedicated woodworking bench tools.

Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
In our shop, a drill set has two jobs: show up ready and not slow us down. The AwxryoX Brushless Compact Drill Tool Set mostly aims at that “grab-and-go” lane—compact drill, big box of bits, and enough extras to handle daily fixes without a scavenger hunt.
Pros
- compact, lightweight body: At around 1.79 lb for the drill, it’s the kind of tool we can keep in rotation without wrist fatigue—especially when working overhead or inside cabinets.
- Strong on-paper torque (60 N·m / 531 in-lb): For household drilling/driving, it brings enough twist to feel confident in wood screws, light framing, and hardware installs.
- Brushless motor benefits: Less heat, better efficiency, and (typically) longer service life than brushed—good news for a drill that might live in our trunk or shop corner.
- Two batteries included: Having a spare pack is a real workflow upgrade—one charging while we keep working.
- Metal 3/8″ keyless chuck: A sturdier, more secure feel than plastic chucks, and handy when we’re swapping bits repeatedly.
- 21+1 clutch + 2 speeds: Gives us decent control for delicate tasks (hinges, flat-pack furniture) and enough range for quicker drilling.
- Accessory “storm shelter” kit: The 135-piece spread (bits, sockets, anchors, tape measure, knife, pliers, etc.) makes it a tidy all-in-one option for apartments, garages, and first toolboxes.
- Value-driven bundle: Customer feedback consistently points to good value—especially when we consider drill + case + accessories + extra battery.
Cons
- Battery life is inconsistent by reports: Some users praise runtime and fast charging; others mention weak capacity or even defective batteries. That variability is a risk if we need dependable all-day use.
- Accessory quality can be uneven: A big kit is great—until bits round off early or small tools feel “starter-grade.” Several reviews suggest the drill is the star, while some included bits/tools may be mediocre.
- Not a pro-duty replacement set: Even with brushless power, this reads as light-to-medium duty. If we’re drilling lots of masonry, running large hole saws, or doing daily jobsite abuse, we’d still reach for a higher-tier platform.
- Case/carry hardware may arrive imperfect: At least one report mentions a broken latch area. Not a deal-breaker, but worth checking immediately on arrival.
- Smaller 1.5Ah packs: Two batteries help, but 1.5Ah is still on the modest side for sustained, heavy tasks—expect more frequent swaps.
Our Quick Take (at a Glance)
| What We Notice | What It Means in Our Shop |
|---|---|
| Brushless + 60 N·m torque | Confident for day-to-day repairs and installs; not our “heavy demolition” pick |
| 135-piece kit in one box | Fewer trips to the toolbox; good for quick calls and apartment fixes |
| 2× 1.5Ah batteries | Better continuity, but still limited capacity—swap/charge more frequently enough |
| Mixed battery/tool accessory reviews | We’d test batteries early and treat included bits as “starter” consumables |
Q&A
What wood types can this drill handle effectively?
For woodworking, this 20V brushless drill (rated up to 60 N·m / 531 in-lb) is well-suited for common shop materials like pine, fir, poplar, cedar, MDF, and standard plywood—especially for drilling pilot holes and driving screws. Reviews frequently describe it as “powerful yet lightweight” and practical for home projects.For very dense or abrasive materials (exotics, heavily resinous woods, or lots of repeated large holes), expect slower progress and plan on using higher-quality bits than the included set.
Is this powerful enough for hardwoods like oak or maple?
It can handle hardwoods for typical tasks (pilot holes, hinge screws, cabinet hardware, pocket-hole screws) thanks to the stated 60 N·m peak torque and 2-speed gearbox. woodworkers will get the best results by using the low-speed/high-torque range, drilling a proper pilot hole, and letting the tool work without forcing it. Where it may feel limited is continuous large-diameter boring (spade/auger bits) or long structural screws into dense hardwood—especially as the 1.5Ah batteries are geared more for light-to-medium duty runtime than all-day heavy use.
How does it perform on plywood and veneers without tear-out?
Plywood and veneered panels are more about bit choice and technique than raw torque. The drill’s variable speed and 21+1 clutch settings help you start holes cleanly and avoid over-driving fasteners. For cleaner holes in plywood/veneer, use brad-point bits (frequently enough better than basic twist bits), run at a moderate-to-high speed, and back up the cut with scrap to reduce blowout. Several reviews praise the drill’s controllability and compact feel in tight spaces, which helps on cabinetry and install work.
Can it handle production work,or is it mainly for hobby and home projects?
This kit is best viewed as a strong DIY/home-repair and hobby woodworking set. the brushless motor is a real plus for efficiency and longer motor life, and customers call it a “budget-friendly option” that works well for small jobs. The main production limitation is battery capacity: it includes two 20V 1.5Ah packs, and reviews are mixed on battery life/consistency (some report great runtime; a few report battery issues). For daily production drilling/driving, many pros prefer higher-capacity batteries (3–5Ah+) and premium bits.
How difficult is the initial setup and what adjustments are available?
Setup is straightforward: charge a battery, insert it, and load a bit into the 3/8” keyless metal chuck. Adjustments are strong for the price: a 2-speed selector for drilling vs. driving and a 21+1 clutch to help prevent stripping screw heads or sinking screws too deep in softer woods. Reviews often mention it feels lightweight (listed around 1.79 lb) and comfortable, which matters when you’re doing repetitive cabinetry or assembly work.
Does it work with standard woodworking accessories and how easy are bit changes?
Yes—most standard round-shank drill bits up to 3/8” fit the keyless chuck. Bit changes are quick: hand-tighten the metal keyless chuck (more durable than plastic chucks per the product description). For driving screws efficiently, consider using 1/4” hex impact-rated bits or a magnetic bit holder; the kit includes many bits, but one review notes the included bits/accessories can feel “cheap and ineffective,” so woodworkers may want to upgrade the frequently used bits for better durability and cleaner holes.
Will this fit in a small workshop,and does it need dust collection or a special outlet?
It’s a compact cordless drill,so it’s ideal for small shops,apartment workspaces,or jobsite installs—no special outlet needed beyond charging (standard wall power for the included charger). It doesn’t require dust collection like a sander or saw would, but drilling MDF/plywood still makes fine dust; use a shop vac nearby or drill over a bench hook with vacuum pickup if you’re doing lots of holes.
Is this suitable for beginners, and would it satisfy a professional woodworker?
Beginners generally do well with this style of drill because the 21+1 clutch helps prevent common mistakes (cam-out, stripped screws, over-driven fasteners). One reviewer even noted it was “perfect…while I learn to use everything included.” For professionals, it can be a handy secondary drill or an install/house-call kit because it’s compact and comes with a loaded toolbox, but pros may be less satisfied with the included bit quality and the 1.5Ah battery size for continuous heavy work.
Unleash Your True Potential
The awxryox Brushless Compact Drill Tool Set pairs a 20V brushless drill with up to 60 N·m (531 in-lb) of torque, a 3/8″ keyless metal chuck, 2-speed gearing, and a 21+1 clutch for better control when drilling and driving in wood. It comes with two 1.5Ah batteries, a charger, and a 135-piece toolbox of bits and hand tools. Customer feedback most frequently enough highlights strong power for the size, good value, and a useful accessory spread, while battery performance and some included bits/tool quality get mixed notes.
Best for: beginners and hobby woodworkers tackling small-to-medium projects (shelving, jigs, furniture assembly) and cabinet work where compact access and clutch precision matter.
consider alternatives if: you routinely drill thick hardwood, run large hole saws/augers, or need pro-grade bits and all-day battery stamina.
Final assessment: a solid mid-range, home-shop kit with real torque, but not a production-duty system.
