Lowes has a web site which also explains why you would want a 12volt vs a 24volt cordless drill (or hammer drill)...Also Consumer Reports is a good sorce for information...I personally own a Dewalt 12" compound miter saw with double bevel, which is excellent for wide crown molding and detail work. I think this tool is over the top for the average homeowner, but I like to play with wood. I also found that I do not use my 18volt cordless drill often because it is too heavy, most small household jobs are handled by a 12volt or a cordless milwaukee screw driver which works great....I own dewalt, porter cable, milwaukee, black & decker, makita, and they all work well for what I bought them for...I think it depends on if you are a professional or home owner and how you use the right tool for the job.
