Projects
18V Cordless Drill
For enthusiasts, the amount of DIY projects to work on are endless. It could be fixing the lock on a door, building a vanity cabinet in the bathroom, or putting together a swing set in the backyard. Regardless, handymen enjoy working on all types of projects. An important feature for a cordless drill to have then is flexibility.
Certain projects require more power than others, but you still want a drill that has it when you need it. If you are putting together a children's swing set, you want it to be strong and stable to hold up over the long term. The 18v drill's turning power has more than enough torque. Combined with the proper socket bit, a swing set can be installed quickly and effectively.
When power isn't necessary to complete a task, you can change the clutch setting to lower the torque output. For example, not much torque is needed to place screws into a door lock. The 18v cordless drill comes with this type of flexibility.
Weight
Some might think that the more power a cordless drill has, the better. While power can come in handy when working on projects that require it, generally the more powerful drills are also heavier. Holding one up for a period of time can be tiring. What's great about 18v drills is that their weight is ideal for the average person accustomed to physical work.
While the 12v or the 14v are lighter, they also don't have as much power. Before the 18v drill, the 14v was the all-purpose drill to use. But the lithium-ion battery used in the new 18v drills is actually lighter than 14v drills. This gives it the best of both worlds, powerful and light weight.
Price
The price of a 18v drill varies, depending of course on the battery technology and quality. They generally fall in the range of - 0. You may find that a quality 18v cordless drill will be one of the most functional tools that you will ever use.
