Top Selling 24 Volt Cordless Drills
April 2nd, 2010
Today I wanted to touch on some of the top selling, top rated 24 Volt cordless drills on the market. Most of these are heavy duty drills that can take a lot of punishment and will last a many years.
Lets start with the Milwaukee 0625-24 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit. Milwaukee introduces the new Lok-Tor 2 series of cordless driver/drills and hammer-drills. The rugged Lok-Tor series delivers high torque, long run-time and the increased durability and quality expected from Milwaukee Electric Tools. All Lok-Tor 2 models feature an exclusive all-metal, single-sleeve ratcheting chuck with carbide jaws to provide high grip torque on bits. A new Milwaukee-built high efficiency motor delivers up to 495 in.-lbs. of torque. The high efficiency motor and superior battery technology combine to provide the ultimate run-time. Milwaukee makes a great drill and has always gotten high marks from customers who know a good drill when they use one.Â
Next we are going to look at the DEWALT DC223KA Heavy-Duty 24 Volt 7/8-Inch Cordless SDS Hammer. This compact 24V Rotary Hammer combines Best-in-Class size and weight with the power and performance one would expect from a corded SDS Hammer. The DC223KA includes DeWALT’s SHOCKSTM system for reducing vibration and increasing user comfort and productivity. It also delivers a hard hitting 1.7 ft lbs. of Impact Energy and has 3 modes of operation for Hammer Drilling, Rotary Drilling, and Chipping. Included with this tool are two 24V NiCd Batteries, 1 hour Fan Cooling Charger, 360O Side Handle, Depth Rod, and a Heavy Duty Kit Box. DeWALT provides a 3 year warranty on the tool and a 2 year service warranty on batteries.
In the world of 24 volt hammer drills the DeWalt DC223KA is a perfect and reliable choice for any craftsman looking to add to their toolbox.
Now, if you need something a little more lite weight then check out the Makita BDF460SH 24-Volt 1/2″ Cordless Drill/Driver Kit. With 18 torque settings, this variable speed, reversing driver/drill delivers up to 476 in./lb of torque. Running on a powerful 24-volt (1.7 Ah) NiMH battery, it features a two-speed gear selection (0-460 or 0-1,500 rpm), industrial metal gear housing, and externally accessible brushes. The single sleeve 1/2-inch keyless chuck with shaft lock helps make bit installation fast and easy. 1/2-inch steel capacity, 1-1/2-inch wood capacity.
These are just a few of the top selling 24 volt Cordless Drills on the market today.

A lot of cordless batteries can be taken apart (at least mine can). Remove some little screws and you can split the case. Inside you’ll find a bunch of smaller ni-cad or maybe even lithium-ion batteries, often spot-welded together. You might be able to replace them. Check the polarity, as it may be flipped around.
