From 12V to 24V: How Voltage Choice Affects Your Cordless Tool Motor

When looking for cordless tools for the job at hand, the voltage selection may seem simple but can make a vast difference. From drilling holes in the wall, to tightening the bolts for a new shelf, the voltage is a major part of how efficient and long-lasting your tools are. Here at CDM, we are committed to delivering the best cordless tool, with the right voltage for the job. As there are a variety of voltages such as 12v dc motor and 24V on the market, learning to distinguish between the two will help you when selecting the right cordless tool. 

What Voltage Should I Choose to Power My Cordless Tool? 

Selecting the appropriate voltage for your cordless tool will make the choice easier. The 12V tool will typically have a lightweight and easy to manage feel, which is best suited for the light tasks such as putting holes into a wall for your picture or the assembly of flat-pack furniture. These are ideal for smaller projects such as jobs at home or your own hobbies. If you're looking to carry out tough jobs such as putting holes in concrete walls or cutting tough wood, you should consider a 24V tool, which will be more powerful and efficient for all the difficult tasks required. The power between these two types of tool is comparable to that of a small bicycle compared to a large motorcycle, with one being better suited for a relaxing drive in the park, and the other better for going off-road on the difficult terrain. A 24V tool will work for anyone doing heavy-duty work, but for home use, a 12V tool should suffice. Battery life is another factor; whilst a 24V tool uses a lot more power than a 12V tool, it is more likely to last longer due to a larger battery for when it's doing harder tasks than a 12V tool, although the 12V tool will still last sufficiently long for tasks that are not very demanding. Choosing the correct voltage for your cordless tool should make every job easier and faster and, the more convenient they are to use, the more likely you are to want to get the job done! 

Where to find the cheapest wholesale deals on 12V and 24V cordless tools? 

Buying 12v dc electric motors and 24V cordless tools at wholesale price is vital if you're not looking to blow your budget but are hoping to have a decent selection of tools available to you. Purchasing these at your local hardware store will prove to be effective as local shops are more likely to give you the best price possible when buying in bulk, or online which will provide you with a selection of options for the same products at different retailers during seasonal sales, although if you're looking to buy tools on a budget then CDM will be an appropriate retailer as the products they sell will be on promotion often and will still be sold at a competitive price. Tool expos will also provide great deals for purchasing these tools if you're keen to see them work before committing to a purchase. Another common, but very good, idea would be to shop in the sale or clearance section, at most retailers, as you can sometimes find items at reduced prices. Joining a tool-based club will also help you find coupons and give you the benefit of being among the first to know about new products when they are put on sale. 

Things to know for wholesale buyers concerning tool voltage

Wholesale buyers must know how the voltage plays a part in the efficiency of a cordless tool when purchasing for their customer base. Voltage is simply how much electrical power is powering the tool. A 12V tool is a better choice when it comes to small and simple tasks such as household repairs and furniture assembly; the ease and simplicity of the 12V tool can save you a lot of time during basic jobs. Conversely, a 24V tool is much more powerful; it can handle tough jobs such as drilling holes through concrete and also has great power for cutting hard wood due to its power. The choice is ultimately down to the customer and the task that they require the tool to carry out; if your customer does more basic jobs then it will be better for them to buy 12V tools, but if they regularly carry out heavier tasks, then it is recommended to purchase the 24V tools as you would not be getting your moneys worth from buying the cheaper tool for difficult tasks. It's worth knowing that here at CDM, we sell both types of cordless tools to help our customers choose what best fits them. 

How tool voltage effects the battery life of the tool itself? 

When deciding on which cordless tool you're looking for, you also have to consider what the voltage has on battery life. It's known that a 12V tool is going to last longer on the same battery than the 24V tool as it requires less power to run. This can be a useful function when trying to get the job finished in less time when out in the field and no power source is available, but the 24V tool will use a lot more power as it's working harder for tough jobs and so the battery will drain slightly quicker; even so, the battery should still provide the appropriate amount of time for whatever job the 24V tool is put to use for. If the battery life is something the buyer finds important, then the 12V tool would probably be best as you get a good power output for the length of time that you're wanting the tool to be on for. Both the 12V and 24V tool batteries available at CDM have been made to produce the most power possible for whatever voltage the user is looking for. The battery lives between the 12V and 24V tools are closer than they once were thanks to the advancement of technology used in the development of batteries today. 

What benefits are 24V cordless tools better than 12V tools for? 

The benefits of the 24V cordless tool compared to the 12v dc gear motor tool are significant, particularly if you're looking to do more demanding work. The primary reason why the 24V tool is superior is due to the immense amount of power that the tool is capable of producing when performing tougher tasks; the 24V tool is capable of drilling huge holes through wood and metal quickly and without struggle, whilst also being able to slice through logs. It will provide a quicker work rate and require less energy to perform a tough task, and is something the professional builder will appreciate very much. A 24V tool may also have features such as built-in LED lights which may be beneficial in poorly lit areas. A more durable body can be expected due to the increased power output, making the 24V tool appropriate for heavy duty use; it's best suited for if you're looking to put the tool through its paces and carry out demanding work that a 12V tool would not cope with. If you're a user that is looking to carry out some heavy duty work and require a strong, durable and powerful tool, then you will want to purchase the 24V cordless tool.
