Cordless Power Drill

Is their really a difference between a and a 24 volt cordless drill.  No, not really.  The only difference between the two is that the 18 volt cordless drill will have a higher rpm.  Other than that comparing a 24 volt to a 18 volt will be apples to oranges.  Now depending the model that you are looking at the one drill may have a little more bells and whisles.  But the internals will still be the same.

Now, lets look at a few 18 volt cordless drills.  The first is the DeWalt Heavy Duty 18 Volt Compact Drill.

DEWALT DC720KA Heavy-Duty Cordless 18-Volt Compact Drill/Driver

This compact drill provides its users with first-rate performance and durability along with exceptional ergonomics. Increased speed and power keep the performance of the drill up while the frameless motor and all metal planetary gear support the durability. Also included is a built in LED light and onboard bit storage as well as two DC9099 18-volt battery Packs, a DW9116 1-hour charger, and a heavy-duty kit box.

Buying a 18 volt DeWalt cordless drill will not be a mistake.  DeWalts are known to last long and give the user years of use.  The only thing, get one with a lithium-ion battery.  You will avoid the battery memory problems.

Next lets look at the Makita 18 Volt Compact Drill. The Makita is a perfect drill at a great price.  It is now 58% off.

Makita BDF452HW 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Driver Drill Kit

Experience the power and reduced weight of the new lithium-ion technology, without the high cost. Lithium-ion cordless tools provide more power with less weight. This cordless drill-driver is a more compact, lighter-weight version of the LXT 18 volt tool. It has a 1.5 amp hr battery, which is half the size of the LXT 3.0 Amp hr batteries. This is not a light-duty tool by any means; it kicks butt in the 18-volt category. It boasts 450 in./lbs. of torque! You can even use the longer run time 18-volt LXT 3.0 Amp-hr batteries in this tool (the higher the amp hr rating, the longer the battery will last before it needs to be recharged).

This cordless drill weighs only 3.5 pounds, the lightest yet of any professional 18 volt. It has a comfortable grip and excellent ergonomics, which is ideal for continual use. Located just above the trigger, are two "headlights." Headlights refer to small LED lights that provide light where you need it most. I was skeptical about this feature, thinking it was just another gimmick, but after using it for some time, I’ve come to depend on it. From lighting my way to the house in the dark, when bringing the batteries/tools on cold nights to providing light in a dark cabinet, closet, or under a desk, this a must-have feature. Rubber grips adorn the exterior of this tool and protect it during impact if it falls. For all that you get with this tool package, the price is unbelievably low. This 18 volt is perfect for the professional who needs a powerful cordless to use all day long.
