Ranked lists / Drill drivers

Drill drivers ranked by weight with battery

8 drill drivers from Makita and Milwaukee, in order of the weight with battery each maker publishes on its US product page or manual. Lowest first. Figures are as published, not tested by us, and makers do not always measure the same way, so treat close figures as close. Each tool is listed once: a bare tool stands for its kits.

Each maker weighs the tool with a battery of its own choosing fitted, so part of each figure is the pack that maker picked.
