# Welcome to Top 7 Tools We've spent the last few years ranking kitchen appliances at [top7kitchen.au](https://top7kitchen.au) and consumer tech at [top7.au](https://top7.au). This is the third site in the family - the same editorial DNA, applied to power tools and hardware. We're launching with **Cordless Drills**, and we'll expand to impact drivers, circular saws, mitre saws, angle grinders, sanders, and the rest of the kit over the coming weeks. Every list follows the same template: seven picks, split across Premium / Best Value / Budget tiers, all priced in AUD with Amazon Australia links and full editorial reasoning behind each rank. No brand pays for placement. We score each tool across four category-specific dimensions out of 10 - for drills, that's Power & Torque, Battery & Runtime, Build & Ergonomics, and Value - and the rankings fall out of those scores. More guides coming. Subscribe to the newsletter if you want one email a week with the biggest genuine price drops we spot.

How this article was made: Drafted with AI tools from manufacturer specifications, professional reviews and aggregated Amazon AU user feedback; we don't buy or test the products ourselves. Prices, ASINs and availability were checked against the live Amazon AU listing before publishing and are re-checked daily by automated sweeps. top7tools.au is run by one person, Jaco Olwagen, who sets the rules those checks enforce and is responsible for everything published here.
