DraperPower Tool Brands Australia: Choosing a cordless platform
The most important decision in cordless is not which drill to buy — it is which battery system to commit to. Your fifth tool on a platform is dramatically cheaper than your first, because you are buying bare tools instead of kits.
- Milwaukee M12 vs M18 — which platform suits your trade
- Makita LXT vs XGT — do you actually need 40V?
- DeWalt FlexVolt explained — one battery, two voltages
- Kits vs bare tools — the real maths
The brands we stock
Milwaukee
The largest cordless range in the trade, split across M12 and M18. POWERSTATE brushless motors and REDLINK PLUS electronics, plus the PACKOUT storage system. Up to 5 years tool warranty with registration.
Makita
Over 300 tools on the 18V LXT platform, with XGT covering higher-demand applications. Light, well balanced and famously reliable, with XPT sealing that genuinely helps on dusty Australian sites.
DeWalt
Strong 18V XR range with FlexVolt on top, so a single battery runs both 18V and 54V tools. Well suited to sites that need corded-replacement performance from a cordless kit.
Festool
Precision tooling for finish trades — track saws, sanders, Domino joiners and class-leading dust extraction. Expensive, and the system integration is the reason cabinetmakers pay it. 3-year all-inclusive warranty.
Hand tool specialists
Knipex for pliers and VDE electrical work, Wera and Vessel for screwdrivers and bits, Stabila for levels you can actually trust, Bahco and Wiha for everyday quality, Veto Pro Pac and Toughbuilt for carrying it all.
