Summary

A budget brushed-motor 20V Max drill and driver kit with one 2.0 Ah battery and a charger, built for light household work. Check what a listing includes before buying: the same drill is sold as a bare tool and inside multi-tool kits.

Strengths

  • Consumer Reports lab-tested this exact model and calls it fast at drilling holes and driving screws.
  • Includes a two-year home-use warranty.
  • WEN publishes a full exploded-view parts list with part numbers and sells replacement parts.
  • The tool is compatible with WEN’s 20V Max batteries and chargers.
  • The kit is cheap, with WEN direct listing it at $52.99 and Northern Tool at $47.99.
  • A bare tool is sold for owners who already own WEN batteries.

Weaknesses

  • Consumer Reports calls it less powerful and limits it to smaller screws and drills.
  • Run time is only moderate, and CR says a large job may need battery changes.
  • The chuck is plastic, not metal, a build detail seller copy never mentions.
  • The motor is brushed, so brushes wear and are excluded from warranty.
  • No case, no bit storage and no side handle are included.
  • WEN warns that sourcing replacement parts can be significantly delayed.

Full research notes and sources

Two speed ranges and how it performs

The 20119 is a conventional budget drill: a brushed motor, two speed ranges (0-400 and 0-1500 RPM), a 15-position clutch plus drill mode, and an electric brake. WEN rates it at 354 in-lb (40 Nm) and drilling capacity of 1.2 in. in wood and 0.39 in. in steel. In drill mode the clutch does not engage, and the manual warns the tool may suddenly twist if it stalls.

The strongest evidence is Consumer Reports, which tested this exact drill. CR calls it “Fast at drilling holes and driving screws” but “Less powerful, limiting use to smaller screws and drills,” with “Moderately long run time per battery charge” and a warning that large jobs may need battery swaps. That fits a sub-$55 drill. CR’s spec table also notes the chuck is not metal, and that there is no case, bit storage or side handle.

Battery, charger and running costs

The kit ships with one 2.0 Ah battery (model 20202) and a 2A charger (model 20200C). WEN’s copy for the same charger says a 2.0 Ah pack charges in approximately one hour. Battery care per the manual: charge fully before first use, prefer frequent charging over deep discharge, replace the pack when capacity falls to 80% of new, and charge only within 41-104 °F. A second battery is the most likely added cost for a single-battery kit; replacement 2.0 Ah packs, other WEN 20V Max batteries, chargers, brushes and drill bits are the other consumables.

Warranty and parts

WEN grants two years for personal use, or 500 hours of use, whichever comes first, and 90 days for professional use. The fine print excludes wear items including brushes and batteries, so the included pack is not covered as a defect item; Consumer Reports describes a two-year battery warranty on the platform, which conflicts with WEN’s own text, so confirm battery coverage with WEN before relying on it. WEN publishes an exploded-view parts list with part numbers and advertises a stocked parts inventory, but the manual says not all parts may be available, and WEN warns parts sourcing can be significantly delayed.

Price and value

Retailer prices: WEN direct listed the kit at $52.99 (archived 2026-07-20) and the bare tool 20119BT at $27.99 (archived 2025-07-11); Northern Tool showed $47.99; Consumer Reports showed it from $47.98 across four retailers. WEN’s combo kits that include the same drill are $109.99 and $74.99.

At $47.99-52.99 the kit is reasonable for a light-duty second drill or an entry into WEN’s 20V Max platform. Above roughly $75 it competes with established brands whose drills sit near $89 with top CR scores in the same 44-model set. Buyers who need masonry, impact driving or heavy fastening should look elsewhere; the manual calls the drill intended for light-duty general tasks.

Which model this is

This page covers the WEN 20V Max Cordless 3/8 in. Drill and Driver Kit, model 20119, known in the US by the ASIN B0F1C1RQMP. WEN sells the bare tool as 20119BT and bundles the same drill into combo kits such as 20VK3DDL. Do not merge it with the WEN 20121 brushless hammer drill, the 20136 brushless impact driver, or other 20V Max tools and drill presses.
