Ryobi 10-inch 5-Speed Drill Press
Score: 78/100
Berxol Mini Drill Press
Score: 60/100Rankings
The Ryobi DP103L is a compact benchtop drill press featuring a 1/4 HP induction motor and an integrated EXACTLINE laser alignment system for precision. Its main drawback is the heavy weight and cumbersome belt-driven speed adjustments. It is best suited for DIYers and hobbyists needing precise perpendicular or angled holes in small-to-medium workpieces.
The BERXOL Mini Drill Press is a compact, portable tool powered by a 100W DC motor, ideal for jewelry making and small DIY projects. It offers high speeds up to 8500 RPM but is limited by its low power and 1/8 inch steel drilling capacity. It is best suited for hobbyists needing precision in small spaces.
