If you are going to get a cordless drill then get a 24V version if you plan to make any real use of it (e.g. drill through masonry, expect the hammer action to be any use, drill through metal, etc.)

No , its not I checked. They have their own checkout and processing facility.

Hmm - the voltage rating of a cordless drill is like the power rating of a corded drill, the megapixel value of a digital camera or the megahertz clock frequency of a computer. It tells far from the complete story. The figure you need is output power, and do any drills give this? Of course not. And the higher the voltage of a cordless drill, the more cells you have in series, so the more likely you are going to get reverse charging when they go flat, which reduces their life considerably.
