24V Cordless Drill/Driver by Greenworks: Yes, You Really Need One

For everything duct tape can’t handle, there’s a cordless drill to tackle the job – but which one should you pick? 

The Greenworks 24V Drill/Driver is the perfect tool for DIY projects and a smart upgrade from the bulky, slow-to-charge drills of the past. Keep your finger on the pulse of power with unparalleled performance, extended runtime, and 20% more battery power than our competitors. Drill into the possibilities with Greenworks. 

Get Things Done: 20% More Battery Power than 20V Drill Competitors

There’s nothing worse than starting a project and not having enough battery to get the job done. Luckily, with the Greenworks Drill/Driver, you’ll have 20% more battery power than 20V competitors – meaning your battery can power through any project, big or small.  

A longer-lasting battery is the difference between a workday and a work weekend. After all, with Greenworks, you can drill 195 holes in one go (but what kind of project are you doing that needs 195 holes drilled?!). Or let’s say you’re planning to drive 500 screws for some reason – Greenworks has you covered on a single charge.

All Things Battery: In It To Win It 

If you’re in the market for a cordless electric drill, Greenworks packs an extra hustle with an additional lithium-ion battery cell. What does this mean for you? More power and a longer time. While most cordless drills with 20V batteries have five cells, our 24V battery adds in that extra sixth lithium-ion battery cell. 

 

As a 20-year-old battery tech company, Greenworks battery power is at the heart of it all. Our battery power highlights include:

●  Charges Quickly: The battery capacity (amp hours) and the power of the charger will determine how long it takes to charge your batteries. Other cordless drill batteries can take up to five hours to charge – frustrating when you’re trying to knock out a project. Greenworks charges in 60 minutes so you can get back to things – and people! – you love.  

●  24V PowerAll Platform:The Greenworks drill/driver is part of the world’s largest and most powerful 24V lithium cordless tool platform. That means your Greenworks drill/driver battery works in 100+ tools to tackle all of your home, garage and yard needs. 

Torque x Speed = Power

Comparing the power and performance of cordless electric drills can be a bit confusing, so let’s break it down. 

●  Torque: The amount of force produced to turn an object (in-lb) or (Nm)

●  Speed: How fast the drill turns (revolutions per minute - RPM)

●  Work Power: Power is calculated using Speed x Torque (the amount of work that can be produced).

It might seem counterintuitive, but the faster the speed, the lower the amount of available torque. So when you need more oomph, slowing down can help carry the load. Using a lower speed will allow you to take advantage of the full available torque. 

More torque, more power, right? Yes – but more power isn’t always better. Rather than throwing maximum torque at every project, match the torque and speed to the job instead. You’re less likely to experience stripped screws, broken bits or binding – helping you cross the finish line on your project.   

Not sure what all of this means? Greenworks has you covered. Our Cordless Drill/Driver comes with 18 clutch settings and two-speed settings – ensuring you have just the right amount of power for each job. You can use the lowest clutch setting for a small screw in a soft material you do not want to strip. Use higher torque settings when you’re driving larger fasteners into harder materials. 

 

Match the Torque to the Job

  Light Duty Medium Duty Heavy Duty
Materials Soft wood, Drywall Plywood, MDF   Dense Hardwood
Fastners Smaller screws Medium length screws Long screws, bolts, etc.
Clutch Settings 1-7 8-13 14-18

 

The Brushless Motor: So You Can Work Smarter, Not Harder

Ever wonder why there seems to be such a wide range of prices in electric drills? One of the key contributing factors to cost is whether the drill has a brushed or brushless motor. Let’s dive in and learn more about how cordless drills can help you work smarter, not harder.

Brushless Motors

Drills with brushless motors tend to be more expensive but allow for increased control and higher efficiency. This translates to smoother and quieter operation, more run time, and maximum torque.  

Ready to get even smarter? Greenworks changes the drill game with our microchip technology. The microchip controls the electromagnets, eliminating friction for better performance and longer motor life. With the Greenworks battery-powered drill, you’ll have all the power you need when you need it.  

Brushed Motors

Brushed motors are less expensive to manufacture – making the fire-sale price remarkably low. A cheap drill wears out quickly because its motor uses carbon brushes that maintain contact with the part of the motor that spins (rotor). This creates constant friction when the drill is used and generates sparks, carbon brush dust and excess heat. No one wants a hot tool in their hand! 

Drills with brushed motors do not use smart technology to control the power current. Without the ability to sense how much power you need, your drill will be less efficient with a shorter run time
