Metabo HPT DS18DFX Driver Drill Kit vs Metabo HPT DS18DDX Cordless Drill
Buy the DS18DDX (B) for almost everyone. It is brushless, shorter at 6.2 inches, lighter at 1.9 lbs bare, has more torque at 485 in-lbs, a 20+1 clutch, an LED, two batteries and a lifetime tool warranty. The DS18DFX (A) is a brushed 18V drill with 470 in-lbs and one 2.0Ah battery; it works, but it is the older, heavier design. Owners rate the subcompact highly, and the brushless motor should outlast the brushed one.

- Choose the DS18DDX if you want the lighter, shorter, brushless drill with more torque, two batteries and a lifetime tool warranty.
