Call them titan tools. Gorilla drills. Or, as one tool manufacturer prefers, "extreme cordless." However you say it, battery- powered tools are getting bigger and beefier. Indeed, some of the newest cordless tools make their corded counterparts seem tethered to the past, as well as to the outlet. If you have $230, you can now buy a brawny 18-volt cordless drill/driver made by DeWalt. By the end of this year, you'll be able to choose from four brands of 14.4-volt drills. And for industrial work, you can even buy a cordless tool that drills into concrete with a whopping 24 volts.
