Much difference between the 18 volt and 20 volt cultivators? Seems like alot of reviews favor the 18 volt.

I really like my 18 volt cultivator. don't know if there is much differnce between the two voltages. I just know that with a full charged battery I can work up between the rows in my garden for over 30 minutes. I out lasts me. I really am glad to have it.

I don't know only have 18V and am completely satisfied with battery life, power and performance of unit. I have purchased 3 more units as gifts

Volts are the force or pressure under which electrons flow -- Amps are the measure of current flow rate of electrons -- ie: a 120 Volt, 20 Amp motor runs at 2400 watts -- this mower runs on A/C (household) current, and requires a cord -- it is not battery operated. I would not buy a battery operated mower -- the batteries are expensive and do not hold a charge for very long. They are good only if you have a very small lawn to mow, but my brother had one for his small lawn, and grew frustrated with the battery operation. Gave up and bought a simple rotary push mower. So far, I am pleased with the mower -- it is nice and quiet, but I must say that the tires are wimpy, and can easily get "stuck" in sandy soil or on small lawn irregularities. Other than that, I like the mower.

Wow - I can't believe some of these reviews. I have slowly dumped my 18 volt stuff when I started collecting 20 and 12 volt. Instead of replacing my bigger 18 volt saw with another big cordless, since I do have it in the corded model, I got this little guy for doing the light work. I've had a 10 inch blade in it through a wall - worked fine, even through the studs. I do understand this is a little rig and don't expect to get from it what the 18 did for years. Even so, I have no problem with the power in the 12 volt tools. Use a big toothed blade, just like a meat saw, the blade will plug up when cutting if the teeth are very fine. Happy hunting.

Iv heard different things, this works very well for me though and It comes with an awesome warranty. It does look like it has more voltage so it may work quicker/ more aggressively. Hope it helps :D

I look at for use down the road. Batteries are a big cost. 20 volts are running $50. That is more than I payed for the cord drill and it will last longer than the battery life. Plus, yes, there is more power than a battery powered drill. I did also pick up the 12v drill. the batteries cost half as much. You would have the portability w/t 12v and the power when needed w/t corded version. Then, after ten years when you can't buy the batteries any more you still have the cord version to use with all the attachments that you purchased. Just my thoughts.

The battery is the main difference. Be advised, if you buy the 18 v saw. I made the mistake last year buying a B&D; string trimmer. The trimmer I bought was a 36v Lithium ion model which works great. This year when I went to buy a spare 36v battery, I find out the 36v model I bought was discontinued, and replaced by a 40 v model. Try to find a 36 v lithium ion battery, not easy unless you want to pay $90 each. So my advice research the battery availability or buy the newer 20v model. The 18v batteries will soon be as obsolete, as my 36v model.

The difference is the voltage coming into the inverter. The question you need to consider is what is the voltage of the system I am wanting to invert to 120? Most cars & trucks run on 12 volt. I purchased the 24 volt for my solar panels because the system was set up as a 24 volt system.

im not sure those could be the same, but in the US we named it as 20v max. as same as the 18v in other country.

The body of 10.8 is approximately the same size as the 12 volt, it's in the battery area that it is different. The 12 volt has a larger square battery that is not too big but carries a longer charge with a little more torque. I bought mine with a specific purpose and it works absolutely perfect for me. I do sheet metal work on furnaces and duct work where I need to get into tight spaces with enough power and torque for small and medium sheet metal screws. It's smaller handle gives my hand the ability to move around the drill into different positions comfortably and still apply the force needed to drive the screw. The drill seems to stay charged for long periods but when it's done it's done. I used my 1st set steadily for about 3 years until they were stolen from my truck. I replaced them with the same drill. If you feel that you need more torque you may want to go with the 12 volt. I have checked other small drills, and there are some good ones out there but I stayed with Makita a very dependable drill.

Very big difference, it has a lot more power than the 12volt verison. If you are going to be doing a lot of building you want the bigger one. It makes the job a whole lot easier. Can zip right through for drilling or putting screws in.

There are several options for the 20v battery too, the larger one lasts much longer, the thinner one is better for tight spaces.

.The 12 volt is a much weaker powered tool. If you plan on cutting metal products u wouldn't suggest the 12 volt saw. The 18 volt has a significant more amount of power. The 18 volt cuts metal compareable to an electric plug in sawzall.

I find that each Lithium-Ion battery (two come with the mower) lasts about an hour. There are several caveats: the thickness and wetness of the grass. I have found that a setting of "3" works very well and gets the longest battery life. That level also looks good. I would reccomend the 19 inch model over the 16 inch mower unless you have an extremely small yard. These machines are not meant for yards larger than a quarter acre in my opinion. Larger yards require more battery changes.

The main difference is the line of products that is carried in each platform. The 24v is for hand held products, string trimmers, hedgers, blowers etc. The 40 volt G-Max has that plus wheeled goods, lawn mowers, tillers, snow throwers. The run time of approximately 20 minutes for the 24v and 25 minutes for the 40v. the 24v is lighter by approximately 2lbs.

I tried the 12V model and it simply is not up to the task for most jobs. Get the one with more power.

I cannot answer but the tool looks new, in much better shape than the 20V we bought in the hopes we could use it with the 18V batteries. Now we have 6 battery packs that work with it, which is great for doing a whole hillside.

Superior! I can charge the battery and three months later it will have full charge, unlike the 18V. The 20V last longer, jobs that I did with the 18V, I needed three fully charged batteries to complete; with the 20V, one. Plus, it is a lot lighter.
