Voltage, torque, chuck size, brushless motors… the spec sheet of a cordless drill can be overwhelming. Here is what really makes a difference on the job.
12V or 20V?
12V drills are lighter and perfect for cabinetry and furniture assembly. For framing, decking or drilling into masonry, go with 20V.
Brushed vs. brushless
Brushless motors run cooler and get more work out of each battery charge. If you use your drill every day, the extra cost pays for itself.
