Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between a drill and a driver?
A driver has a clutch that stops when the screw is tight. Most cordless drills combine both.
How many volts do I need?
For jobs around the house, 12 volts is enough. Choose 18 volts if you often drill into hardwood or masonry.
