TOTAL-12V TDLI12456 Cordless Drill

The TOTAL TDLI12456 is a highly popular, entry-level 12V cordless drill driver. It is deliberately engineered for everyday household fixes, furniture assembly, and light-duty commercial drilling/fastening tasks where a bulky, heavy tool would be overkill.

Core Technical Specifications

• Voltage: 12V

• Max Torque: 20 Nm (Optimized for quick fastening and smooth penetration into lighter materials)

• No-Load Speed: 0 – 750 RPM (Controlled entirely via a variable speed trigger)

• Torque Settings: 15 + 1 (15 clutch settings to prevent stripping screw heads, plus 1 dedicated direct drilling mode)

• Chuck Capacity: 0.8 mm – 10 mm ($1/32″ \text{ to } 3/8″$) plastic keyless chuck

• Battery Pack: 1 x 1.5 Ah Lithium-Ion battery (Model: TBLI12153)

Standout Practical Features

• USB Type-C Charging Port: One of the main highlights of this model is that the battery charges directly via a modern USB-C port. This means you can easily top up the battery using standard smartphone chargers, power banks, or laptop ports without carrying a bulky proprietary charging brick. (Note: In many standard packages, the USB-C cable is included but the wall adapter is sold separately).

• Built-in LED Work Light: Positioned right beneath the chuck to automatically illuminate narrow cabinet corners or poorly lit dark work areas when the trigger is pulled.

• Ultra-Light Ergonomics: Weighing right around 1 kg, its compact base and rubberized handle profile drastically cut down on wrist fatigue during prolonged overhead drilling tasks.

Material Limits: This 12V system is excellent for drilling clean holes into wood, soft metals, and plastics. However, it does not feature a hammer function, meaning it is not designed to drill into concrete or heavy stone masonry walls.
