Every household needs a cordless drill kit. But does every household need a pricey version with tons of features and gobs of torque and power? Probably not. If you’re in search of some basic power tools for around-the-house tasks, Walmart is the place to shop, and right now, the retailer is serving up an unbeatable deal on an affordable yet capable cordless drill for under $30.
The HDJ 21V Max Cordless Drill and Batteries Set is on sale for only $26, a 61% discount from its normal price of $66. This cordless drill includes two rechargeable batteries as well as accessories for just a fraction of the price of what DeWalt, Bosch, or Milwaukee are charging. Walmart shoppers say it’s a “great drill for small projects” that “works as well as the name brand” versions.

This drill comes with two 21-volt lithium-ion batteries and a charger, so you’ll get plenty of runtime, and the drill itself offers lots of functionality. It has a two-speed transmission to handle both driving fasteners and drilling holes, a forward-reverse selector, and a variable clutch selector so you can fine-tune how much torque you’re applying. The trigger grip also gives you lots of control over the drill’s rotation speed, and a trigger-activated LED illuminates your work area. The 3/8-inch keyless chuck makes it easy to swap out bits, and this drill ships with an assortment of bits and drivers, including a flexible shaft driver for working in tight spaces.
Walmart shoppers appreciate the HDJ drill’s stellar value. One called it “strong” and said it’s “easy to use” on “any job, big or small.” Another said it “works great,” and a third shopper called it “powerful.”
“Great price for a simple around-the-house drill and bits,” said a fourth reviewer.
At $26, the HDJ 21V Max Cordless Drill is an easy choice for light DIY tasks at home—you get all the functionality you need without paying out the nose for a contractor-level power tool. But snap this one up quick, because at this price, it won’t last long.
