We’ve been looking for a compact drill that can live on our workbench without hogging space or demanding a second thought. The NEWBEAT 12V Cordless Drill Set leans into that role with a tidy battery-and-charger combo and a 3/8" keyless chuck that makes bit swaps feel quick and fuss-free. In our hands, the two variable speeds offer a useful split: one for steady driving, the other for lighter drilling tasks. The 18+1 torque settings add a surprising amount of control for a 12V class tool, helping us avoid stripping screws in soft wood while still biting into denser materials. The real question is whether this kit belongs in our shop—or just our junk drawer.
