Drives and boresThe numbered clutch drives a screw without stripping it; drill mode bores straight through wood and light masonry. It also mixes mortar or paint with a paddle and takes attachments for most spinning jobs.
BrushlessNo carbon brushes to wear out. It runs cooler, lasts far longer, and gets more work from each charge. The one spec worth paying for.

You're picking a battery brand for years, not just a drill; switch it later and you buy every pack again.
Long screws and decking want an impact driver, not this.
Voltage isn't power, check brushless and the torque rating.
