Overview
The Purple CD-P-12V is a 12-volt battery-powered drill with a top speed of 650 RPM and a 1.5-amp rating. It measures 9.2 by 8 by 2.76 inches and weighs about 1.4 kilograms, roughly 3.1 pounds, with a 4.7 star rating across 248 reviews.
A 650 RPM top speed is on the slower end for a cordless drill driver, which points toward a tool geared more for controlled screw driving than fast hole boring. At just over 3 pounds it's light enough for one-handed use, and 100 units reportedly sold in the past month suggests steady demand.

- 9.2 x 8 x 2.76 inch size
Who it's for
Fits buyers who want a compact 12V driver for lighter driving tasks around the house rather than heavy-duty drilling. Less suited to anyone who needs high-speed boring through hardwood or masonry, given the low top speed.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact 12V battery platform
- Light at about 3.1 pounds
- Strong review rating of 4.7
- Low 650 RPM top speed limits fast drilling
- Amperage suggests a smaller battery pack
Performance notes
At 650 RPM the tool trades speed for control, which generally means steadier torque on screws but slower progress boring holes. The 1.5-amp rating and 12-volt platform place it in the compact, lighter-duty class of cordless drivers rather than a full-size drill.
