DeWalt Cordless Drill - The Power is in Your Hand

Whether you are experienced craftsmen or amateur a good and reliable cordless drill is essential. You can drill holes and drive screws with it; and you can do that without having to worry about finding an AC outlet near the jobsite to power the tool. There are so many different models available on the market. But it is not always easy to decide which one to buy. For these machines power is measured in battery pack voltage; higher voltage – more power and torque. In the last several years voltage has increased. Today, standard cordless power drills are the 18-volt. These powerful cordless machines have enough power to bore big holes in most types of masonry and hard materials. And the best thing is that these tools although meant for heavy-duty applications are not really heavy. This is all thanks to lithium ion technology which enabled more power and less weight. Cordless power drills are usually equipped with a T-handle. This design provides superb balance, particularly in heavier cordless power tools. Also, this great handle design allows the user to get into tighter spaces because your hand is out of the way in the center of the tool. Most cordless power tools feature two or three speeds (the low speed is for driving screws and the high is for drilling holes). And some are equipped with high-torque motors capable of delivering up to 3,000 rpm (rotations per minute). 

DeWalt has many different models of cordless power drills in their line of power tools. Let’s take a look at some of them.
