Which is better for cabinet and overhead work?

The 12V CLPK22-120. Its PS31 drill weighs 1.6 lb and the PS41 impact driver has a short head, so it fits where an 18V body does not.

Which has more power?

The 18V GXL18V-240B22. The 12V PS31 is rated 265 in-lbs, and the 18V platform delivers more torque for large bits and long screws.

Is the 18V kit worth the extra $75?

Only if you drill into lumber, masonry anchors or drive long screws regularly. For assembly and light drilling, the 12V kit does the job for less.

Do both kits include batteries and a charger?

Yes. The 12V kit ships with two 2.0 Ah batteries, a charger and a bag. The 18V kit ships with two batteries and a charger.

Both use brushless motors. The 18V kit's larger batteries and higher torque headroom usually mean less strain in heavy use, but the 12V kit's 1-year warranty is the shorter coverage.

How do the prices compare right now?

$144.99 at eBay for the 12V kit and $219.99 at eBay for the 18V kit, both as of November 7, 2026.
