ok so I noticed on the side of a 12v drill that it has max 600rpm and the same on the side of a 14.4v drill. What is the difference between the two? Is it that noticeable?

Thanks

 

is the torque that much of a difference is it worth to get the 14.4v?

i'm starting to make up my xmas wish list....
what are some of the better but not too pricy brands to go for when looking at drills? which are good for getting an entire set?

 

I've had a cheap jobmate 14.4 from canadain tire for about a year... it works pretty good...

punches through 1/8" thick steel without breaking a sweat anyway...

Im guessing it probably won't last 10 or 15 years like a quality drill would, though...

 

I have an 18 volt Ridgid drill, works great, tons of torque (510 inch-pounbds) and the charger charges both batteries at once... (big plus for me personally) I've used it to put a 4" holesaw through the backplate of a panel. It'll drill all day through 1/4" aluminum on one battery, 1/16, 5/32 and 11/32 holes, plus counterboring all of them.
