24V Cordless Brushless 400 in-lbs Drill/Driver - Lightweight Power

In this review of the Greenworks 24V Cordless Brushless Drill/Driver the bottom line is straightforward: this kit is best for homeowners, carpenters, and light trade users who want a compact, high-torque cordless driver with modern charging conveniences. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 24V brushless motor delivering up to 400 in-lbs of torque and a lightweight 2.28 lb package, which makes longer tasks less fatiguing while still handling wood and metal screwdriving with confidence.

Key Features

• Brushless motor: Provides cooler operation and longer tool life while delivering roughly 2X the torque of typical 20V competitors for tougher fastening jobs.
• Two-speed transmission: 0-450 RPM and 0-2000 RPM let the user match speed to the job for precise drilling and clean screw driving in wood and metal.
• 18+1 clutch and 1/2 in keyless chuck: Enable fine control over torque and fast bit changes without tools for a wider range of applications.
• Compact and ergonomic: At about 2.28 lbs with a non-slip handle and built-in LED light, the driver is easy to use in tight spaces and for extended periods.
• Included USB-C battery and charger: The 2.0Ah USB-C battery doubles as a portable power bank and works with a 30W GaN USB-C charger for fast recharging on the job.
• Platform compatibility: The 24V battery is compatible with 150+ Greenworks 24V tools, making it convenient for users expanding an eco-friendly tool collection.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for DIYers, homeowners, and light trade professionals who need a powerful but maneuverable drill/driver for general carpentry, automotive tasks, and routine repairs. The high torque and compact design make it useful where a balance of power and control is required.

Those who need heavy demolition, industrial drilling, or extended continuous high-load performance should consider higher-capacity pro series tools; likewise, buyers who do not value the battery-as-power-bank convenience may prefer a simpler kit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong torque and brushless efficiency for tougher drilling and longer runtime compared with typical 20V offerings.

Cons

• Some users report mixed durability on bits and removals, so heavy day-in/day-out contractors may prefer a heavier-duty kit or additional bit sets.
