Cordless drills have been around for a few decades and with a lot of innovation from manufacturers of both the tools and the battery technology, drills have improved immensely over the years. Some of the very first cordless drills had very poor batteries compared to what is available today and even the power of these drills has improved. In this video I am comparing the 12 volt milwaukee drill to one of their 18 volt versions to see just how much more work the 18 volt can do.
To test these drills, I used a 3/8" bit because this is what is commonly used in doweling jigs and in pocket hole technology. The wood I started off with was construction grade fir, but soon found that it was going to take too many holes to really test the drills. After a few holes in the fir I prepared a 2" piece of Garry Oak, which is from the white oak family of trees. This wood was very dry and very hard, a perfect test piece for the drills.
Check out the video conclusion to see what I found.
