Rating of TOP-5 stands for drills: review of the best models for vertical drilling

Anyone who has at least once in their life been faced with the need to drill in a horizontal surface knows how inconvenient this activity is. You have to monitor the angle of inclination of the drill, and if we are talking about a large number of holes, and even in small parts, the task becomes more complicated. The ideal option would be to use a stationary drilling machine. The pleasure is expensive, cumbersome, and most often limited in mobility. It is much easier and, importantly, cheaper to purchase a stand for a drill. This is a structure into which the tool itself is installed, clamped and turns the hand-held model into a stationary one.

There are many similar racks on the market, and the price difference can be extremely significant. It depends on:

• build quality;
• materials used;
• design complexity;
• brand popularity.

When buying such a rack, you should clearly understand what tasks it will have to cope with. If this is a semi-professional purpose, it makes sense to overpay, but take a high-quality tool that will not fall apart after light load. For rare household use, the simplest model, made in the form of a clamp attached to a table or workbench, is suitable. This form factor is most convenient when there is no space for stationary placement. Our rating includes both powerful professional models and simple household ones. These are the best options on the market, and you should choose a competitive offer based on future tasks.

• Height (mm): 400
• Drill socket diameter (mm): 43

The popular STAYER brand has been on the market for a long time and is famous for its ability to create products with the ideal combination of price and quality. This drill stand visually inspires confidence. It has a thick platform, many options for attaching to a workbench. Even a vice is already included. The carriage is made of cast iron, and the vertical stand is made of stainless steel. And if it weren’t for a certain amount of negativity in the comments under the product, the tool could have been significantly raised in the ranking. But, as users write, not every drill is suitable here. The mount is non-standard, and before purchasing, be sure to study this issue so that later you do not have to buy either a new stand or a new drill.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Many mounting options
• Own stationary vice

• Not suitable for all drill models
• Not the most comfortable handle

Top 9. SPARTA 934055

Rating (2021): 3.36

23 reviews taken into account from resources: Yandex.Market, All Tools, Ozone

• Characteristics

  Average price: 2,000 rub.

• Country: China
• Height (mm): 470
• Drill socket diameter (mm): 43
• Working stroke (mm): 72
• Base size (mm): 226×226
• Weight (kg): 2.55

At first glance at this tool, you may get the impression that it has a professional purpose. Confidence-inspiring large closed carriage, high platform with diagonal slots. Even a vice is included, which is quite rare. At the same time, the price is only 2 thousand rubles, and the thought of some kind of catch involuntarily creeps in. He really is. Silumin is used in almost all parts. Metal is fragile and short-lived. It should not be subjected to high loads. It turns out that what we have in front of us is a very ordinary household counter. But already with a vice and ready to work. A good option for your money if you only use it occasionally.

Advantages and disadvantages

• The set includes a vice
• Wide platform

• Quite fragile design

Best price The cheapest drill stand in our rating. Its cost is approximately 30% lower than that of its closest competitor.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 1,000 rub.

• Country: Czech Republic (manufactured in China)

If you only need a drill stand from time to time and are not willing to pay for a professional tool, be sure to pay attention to this product. This is the cheapest option on the market, and produced by a fairly well-known brand. The secret lies in the form factor of the product. There is no usual carriage here. The socket into which the drill is attached is mounted on two pins with springs. The base also serves as a kind of vice. Not the most convenient, and you won’t be able to install your own clamp here. There are no depth limiters either. All work will have to be done by eye. In general, the most primitive stand, the main advantage of which is its price.

Advantages and disadvantages

• The lowest price
• Possibility of tilting at different angles

• Primitive design
• Can't install a vice

DIY drill guide

We bring to your attention the third budget version of a homemade device. The design is also quite simple to manufacture, but is made of metal. This idea belongs to the author of the YouTube channel Be Creative.

Materials that will be required for the manufacture and assembly of the drill stand:

• profile pipe;
• metal bushings;
• clamp for drill;
• steel plates;
• guides;
• return springs.

First of all, it is necessary to make a movable part of the stand to which the electric drill will be attached. In the previous version it was made of wood, in this one it is made of corrugated pipe.

Cut a piece of square profile and cut out the ends of the saddle. Then we weld two bushings to it.

In the middle you need to weld a clamp to attach the electric drill. It can be made from a piece of round pipe, two nuts and a bolt.

Next, we cut off three pieces of steel strip and weld the base of the stand (support platform) from them.

We weld guides made of smooth reinforcement to the base. We put springs on them.

We fix the drill with a clamp, and then put the moving part on the guides.

The homemade drill stand is ready. Yes, it looks very primitive and flimsy, but it can be made very quickly from scraps of metal.

The detailed manufacturing and assembly process of this structure can be seen in the video below.

Extended equipment Included with the stand you also receive spare bolts, a set of keys for repair and adjustment, as well as a cast iron vice. This is the richest package at a low total cost of the product.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 1,800 rub.

• Country: Russia (manufactured in China)
• Height (mm): 550
• Drill socket diameter (mm): 43
• Working stroke (mm): 65
• Base size (mm): 245×245
• Weight (kg): 2.37

Studying the reviews left under this product by real customers, you can find a lot of negativity. It concerns not the most durable structure, but also balancing. Apparently, the heavy carriage is a little overweight, and the stand must be firmly screwed to the workbench. But all these shortcomings are covered by the product package. In addition to the rack itself, you also receive a set of keys with different tips, three spare bolts for each module and a vice. The biggest rarity on the market. And all this costs less than 2 thousand rubles. Otherwise, it’s an ordinary vertical stand, hardly suitable for professional use.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Maximum configuration
• Own vice

• Failed balancing
• There are brittle metals in the structure

Enkor 20090

The stand that has received the largest number of reviews from customers on such well-known trading platforms as Yandex.Market and All Tools. The overwhelming majority of comments are written in a positive manner.

• Characteristics Average price: 3,800 rub.
• Country Russia
• Height (mm): 550
• Drill socket diameter (mm): 43
• Working stroke (mm): 65
• Base size (mm): 160×160
• Weight (kg): 6.8

Before us is a drill stand that has collected more than one, among which there is practically no negative. The tool is praised for its quality and reliability. The platform and carriage into which the drill is mounted are made of durable cast iron. The vertical pipe is stainless, with thick walls. There is also a fairly powerful hardened spring that does not sag after prolonged use. The tool definitely deserves attention and takes pride of place in our rating. The only disadvantages include the absence of a vice and the holes for attaching them directed only in one direction. If you have a non-standard vice, you will have to do some magic with their placement on the base.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Cast iron carriage
• Long lever
• Thick wall vertical pipe
• Powerful spring

• Vise slots in one direction

Universal design The rotating carriage allows you to work at an angle of 90 degrees, which makes it possible to place not only a hand drill, but also a grinder with a straight disc on the stand.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 4,400 rub.

• Country: Latvia (manufactured in China)
• Height (mm): 425
• Drill socket diameter (mm): 43
• Working stroke (mm): 60
• Base size (mm): 156×156
• Weight (kg): 3.4

The manufacturer decided to outperform its competitors in terms of originality. In essence, we have before us an ordinary vertical drill stand, however, judging by the description, you can install not only a drill, but also a grinder in it. Of course, only with a straight disk arrangement, since angular placement simply does not make sense. In addition, the stand allows you to drill holes at an angle. The solution is frankly strange, since this function is most often performed by an ordinary vice. Be that as it may, the carriage of the tool is movable, capable of rotating 90 degrees. If you have tasks suitable for it, then finding an alternative on the market will be quite difficult.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Rotary carriage
• Possibility of installing a grinding machine

• Small stroke
• Duralumin carriage

A drill stand, like any other tool, can be used for home use or professional use. Now we have something in between. From a professional tool there are auxiliary modules. There is a ruler and a depth limiter, as well as a spring lock in the selected position. There is also a very long handle, which adds convenience to the tool, especially if you are using a drill with a large handle. At the same time, the stand will cost only 1.5 thousand, which corresponds to a household product. The model cannot be called low quality. The base is completely steel. The vertical pipe is stainless and the carriage is cast iron. In general, an excellent option, which is quite difficult to find flaws in.

Drill manufacturers do not have a uniform standard. Tools can have different sizes and shapes, and if you have the simplest stand, but an unusual drill, it’s not a fact that you can connect them. It is versatility that is the main advantage of the product. Despite the classic size of the mounting socket, it has a non-standard clamp shape, so you can install almost any drill in the rack. The quality of construction is also at the highest level. If the brand is unfamiliar to you, then most likely you are mistaken. This is a popular German manufacturer AEG, whose quality is well known throughout the world.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Universal mounting socket
• Molded stand
• Popular brand

• There are restrictions on the power of the drill used

Pros and cons of homemade racks

The most important and fat plus is saving money. In most cases, you can make a drill stand (guide) for a screwdriver or drill from scrap materials.

Even if you don’t have some components in the garage, you can buy them for pennies at a metal collection center (for example, if you decide to make guides for a moving part from shock absorbers).

To make a tripod (vertical stand), a profile pipe is usually used - many have it in stock, and buying it is not a problem.

Another advantage of a homemade rack is that the structure can be customized to suit you - make it the size you need (for example, if you transport it in a car).

At the same time, you don’t need to climb all over the Internet to find suitable drawings - you can make a rack without them.

The only downside that can be noted is that a homemade drill stand is not designed to perform high-precision operations. And, of course, it is in many ways inferior to a drilling machine.

The most reliable design The model is made of durable cast iron that can withstand significant loads. The high-alloy steel support makes the stand even more reliable and durable. The manufacturer does not use silumin and other brittle alloys.

• Country: Germany
• Height (mm): 305
• Drill socket diameter (mm): 45
• Working stroke (mm): 130
• Base size (mm): 203×307
• Weight (kg): 8.07

This drill stand belongs to the professional category. This is evidenced not only by its price, but also by some design features. In particular, there is a completely closed carriage, which prevents chips from getting into the pressing mechanism. For more precise work, there is a ruler, as well as a limiter that prevents the drill from falling below the set level. There are also very comfortable handles, consisting of three modules, and not one, as is most often the case. Of course, you won’t be able to wrap the steering wheel completely; the travel depth is only 130 millimeters, but it is very convenient when working. And of course, only durable materials are used - cast iron and alloy steel. No silumin or cheap plastic.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Triple lever
• Closed carriage
• Ruler and depth gauge

• High price

The drill stand is often subject to stress, especially when working with hard materials. In order for the tool to last a long time, only the highest quality materials must be used in its manufacture. As in this model. The base, shaped like a square 215x215 millimeters, is made of cast iron. As well as the carriage into which the drill is fixed. Vertical steel pipe with stainless steel coating. The base has diagonal slots that allow you to install the vise, as well as rotate it at almost any angle. The design does not use silumin, which makes it as durable and reliable as possible. At the same time, the price is not shocking and remains at an acceptable level.

What features of drill stands should you pay attention to when choosing?

On the modern market there are a great variety of racks for sale, to suit every taste and budget, as they say. However, it is worth choosing a convenient model, taking into account some nuances:

• If possible, choose a model made of cast iron : it is more practical and durable.
• It should be possible to adjust the drilling depth : this option is important in cases where you need to make several identical holes.
• If the movement mechanism is powered by springs, the holder will automatically return to its original position as soon as the pressure on the lever is reduced.
• The necessary parts must include a frame (responsible for the stability of the structure), a guide post, an equipment holder and a travel mechanism.
• The landing collar is another required element of the rack. Standard diameter is 4.3 cm.

Important! The more massive the holder, the more stable it will be.
