Our take on the 18V Brushless Cordless Drill Driver

An 18V brushless cordless drill driver with a 1/2-inch chuck. The brushless motor runs cooler and lasts longer than brushed motors, and the half-inch chuck takes standard bits without an adapter. It suits homeowners and DIYers who want one drill for furniture, shelves, deck screws and light masonry. Against brushed 18V drills it costs more but delivers more torque per charge and less maintenance; it is a bare drill driver, so buyers comparing kits should check whether batteries and a charger are included.

Questions and answers

Is a brushless drill worth it over a brushed one?

Yes if you use it often. The brushless motor delivers more work per charge and lasts longer, since there are no brushes to wear out. For occasional light jobs a brushed drill is enough.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

This is listed as a bare drill driver, so batteries and a charger are usually not included. Check the box contents before buying, or buy a kit version if you need power.

Can it drill into concrete or brick?

No. It is a drill driver with no hammer mode, so it is for wood, metal and plastic, plus light masonry with a masonry bit. Use a hammer drill or rotary hammer for concrete.

What bits fit the chuck?

The 1/2-inch keyless chuck takes standard round and hex shank bits up to half an inch, plus hole saws and auger bits. Smaller 1/4-inch hex bits work too.

Is 18V enough for deck screws?

Yes for most deck and framing screws, especially with a brushless motor. Very long lag screws or dense hardwood may need a impact driver or a higher-torque drill.
