Which is better for driving screws all day?

The PWRCORE. Its brushless motor and 2.0Ah battery give more runtime, and the 17-stage clutch lets you set torque precisely.

Which has the stronger chuck?

The BAUER. Its chuck is all-metal, while the PWRCORE's chuck material is not stated.

Is the BAUER worth the extra money?

Only if you need all-metal gears and chuck for heavy use. At $99.95 against the PWRCORE's $68.00 low, the PWRCORE is the better value for most home projects.

The PWRCORE's brushless motor should outlast the BAUER's brushed motor. The BAUER's all-metal gears offset some of that in hard use.

Do both use 20V batteries?

Yes, both are 20V lithium-ion systems, but the batteries are brand-specific and not interchangeable.

The PWRCORE at 5.29 lbs. The BAUER lists 5.75 lbs as shipping weight, so its bare-tool weight is not directly comparable.

PWRCORE 20V Brushless Drill Driver Kit vs BAUER 20V Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

Buy the PWRCORE kit for the brushless motor, 2.0Ah battery and lower price. Buy the BAUER if you want an all-metal keyless chuck and all-metal gear construction. The PWRCORE's lowest daily price was $68.00 on October 31, against $99.95 for the BAUER on November 1. The PWRCORE also hit $131.65 on November 3, so its price moves around more.
