VOLTS (V) = RAW POWER
The voltage of the drill motor indicates the power of the drill. More volts equal more power. But more power means the drill will use its charge up faster.

AMP-HOURS (AH) = CAPACITY
The Amp-hours indicate the amount of battery capacity. That's like the amount of fuel in a car's fuel tank. The higher the Amp-hours figure, the more fuel in the tank - or capacity the battery - will have.

BATTERY TYPE = EFFICIENCY
New Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries are more efficient than the traditional Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) type. Thanks to the technology, despite being no bigger physically, a black 18V 3.0Ah Ni-MH battery can give you about 50% more capacity than a red 18V Ni-Cd 2.0Ah battery. It's like getting 105 litres worth of travel out of a 70 litre tank.

When it comes to a cordless drill for your carpentry, joinery and cabinet-making, shop fitting or electrical work, chances are you don't want a big heavy tool.

LIGHT 1S RIGHT FOR NON-STOP WORK.
Just because you pack a lightweight drill, that doesn't make you a lightweight tradesperson. On the contrary. It probably means that you're a heavyweight user - and so you need a drill that you can use comfortably for hours at a time. For most people, getting a big drill would be like buying a Mack truck to do your running around town in.

GET THE POWER YOU NEED...
Let's face it, you only need plenty of power for your jobs - not the most power on the market. More power means a bigger tool, which could be tiring if you need to use it for prolonged periods. And think about run time. High voltage drills go through their battery charge more quickly.

FROM A DRILL THAT YOU LIKE USING.
Then there's the choice of design. Light drills usually come with either a pistol grip (with stick battery) or the T-handle design. Actually, they're both really handy tools, and the choice really comes down to what you prefer.

Just Tools has a range of handy, lightweight drills is perfect for prolonged or everyday use. They give you the perfect mix of weight and run time, plus the benefits of an ergonomically balanced design. That makes them more comfortable, and better for you, to use. On most days they'll be the only thing that isn't giving you stress!
