Einhell Power X-Change 50NM Cordless Drill Driver With 2 Review UK 2026

Key specifications

Build Quality and Design

The Einhell's 4513940 Power X-Change cordless drill driver uses a metal-plastic body, a practical mix designed to balance toughness with a lower overall bulk, and it is built in a compact form factor measuring 27 x 10 x 15 cm (L x W x H). The casing helps protect the internal components, while the lighter outer sections reduce hand fatigue during longer jobs. A 10 mm chuck supports common bit sizes, and the overall layout keeps the grip straightforward to hold. The design is clearly geared towards portability, so it is less substantial than all-metal models for heavier force work.

Battery System and Run Time

A compact 27 x 10 x 15 cm metal-plastic tool body is only part of the story, because performance between charges depends mainly on its battery system. The cordless tool ships with two 2.0 Ah Power X-Change lithium-ion batteries. The packs are described as compatible across the PXC range and as having no self-discharge, so batteries should stay ready during storage. Run time varies by task intensity, speed control, and impact use, since battery drain increases with heavier applications.

Power and Torque

The Einhell cordless drill driver is rated at 18V and delivers up to 50 Nm of torque, which positions it for everyday screwdriving and drilling tasks. The brushed motor helps maintain torque output without brush wear. For harder jobs, its impact capability supports drilling into tougher materials such as lightweight concrete, stone and brick. Torque becomes more effective when users match it to material.

Speed and Versatility

Two-speed gearing and electronic speed control help this cordless impact drill driver adapt to different tasks. The tool also includes LED lighting for work in darker areas. The cordless tool uk can switch between faster drilling and lower-speed screwdriving, because the electronic speed control supports material-appropriate operation. It also offers impact drilling for harder jobs, letting it tackle lightweight concrete, stone and brick rather than only soft surfaces. Results still depend on matching the speed and function to the material, or accuracy may be reduced. Overall, the combination of drilling, screwdriving and impact drilling supports multiple applications in one unit.

Ergonomics and Weight

Ergonomics and weight matter because the tool needs to be controlled comfortably when switching between drilling, screwdriving, and impact drilling. The Einhell 4513940 Power X-Change is rated at 3.33 kilograms, so heavier users may feel fatigue on long jobs. The 18V body combines metal and plastic parts, which can help balance but may not suit every grip style. In use, it is typically steadied with the rear hand while the front supports the chuck, and impact drilling changes the feel under load. The 10mm chuck is easy to manage.

What's in the Kit

Included in the box is the Einhell cordless impact drill driver, model 4513940, packaged with two 2.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries and a high-speed battery charger. The kit is designed for immediate use, with the two batteries reducing downtime when one runs out. The charger supports recharging for continued operation. The tool includes an impact-drilling function and uses a 10 mm chuck for bits and drivers, with LED lighting to help in darker work areas.

Compatibility with Other Tools

Because the model 4513940 is part of The cordless tool's Power X-Change (PXC) 18V platform, it is designed to work with compatible batteries from the same series. This allows users to swap battery packs across other matching PXC 18V tools rather than buying separate power supplies for each device. The 4513940 cordless drill driver comes with 2.0Ah Li-ion battery sets for basic drilling and impact tasks, and battery compatibility is limited to the PXC range.

Cleaning and Maintenance

For reliable performance, the Einhell cordless drill driver should be cleaned and maintained after regular use, especially when drilling or impact drilling in dusty materials like concrete, stone and brick. Maintenance is straightforward and still matters. After use, remove the battery, then wipe the housing with a dry cloth and check the 10 mm chuck for debris. If dust is visible in the vents, light brushing helps, and dry compressed air can clear particles while avoiding soaking.

Who Is This Tool For?

The cordless tool cordless drill driver (4513940) is aimed at people who want a single 18V drill driver platform that can handle screwdriving, drilling, and impact drilling, without keeping separate tools for different jobs. It suits homeowners, DIYers, and small trade users working across wood, metal, and lighter concrete, stone, or brick, with two-speed gearing and an impact function. The 4513940 makes sense if you already own compatible This cordless tool batteries or want to avoid buying additional batteries later, because it supports the wider The Einhell battery range.
