Our verdict

A lightweight 12V option for casual drilling and driving around the house, not a replacement for a full-size 18V drill on tougher jobs.

Overview

HOTO's 53187 is a 12V cordless drill built around a 1.5 amp motor spinning up to 1400 RPM and weighing under 2 pounds, suited to light drilling and driving tasks around the house rather than heavy construction work.

A 12V pack keeps this drill small and light rather than chasing maximum torque, which is the tradeoff most compact drills make. That makes it easier to hold one handed for longer stretches, though it also means it will struggle on jobs that call for a full-size 18V tool.

  • 12V battery power
  • 1.9 pound weight
  • 1400 RPM top speed
  • 1.5 amp motor

Who it's for

Homeowners and hobbyists handling occasional drilling and driving, such as furniture assembly or small fasteners in wood or drywall. Not a fit for anyone drilling into masonry or dense hardwood regularly.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Weighs under 2 pounds for one handed use
  • 12V pack keeps the tool compact
  • Speed suited to small fasteners and pilot holes
Cons
  • 1.5 amp motor limits it to light duty work
  • Not built for masonry or heavy torque jobs

Performance notes

The 1400 RPM top speed and 1.5 amp motor place it toward the lighter end of cordless drills, enough for pilot holes, small fasteners and drywall anchors, but it will bog down on anything more demanding.
