Cordless Power Tool Selection — Quick Reference
Cordless platform choice is the BIG decision — battery compatibility within a brand is the lifetime cost driver. 18V is the universal platform; 36V / dual-18V for sustained high-power. Match tool type to job (drilling vs driving vs cutting vs grinding).
| Tool Type | Platform | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Drill Driver | 18V (any brand) | General drilling + light fastening — workshop default |
| Impact Driver | 18V | Driving screws + bolts — concussion vs rotation transfers torque without slip |
| Hammer Drill / Combi Drill | 18V or 36V | Masonry, brick, concrete drilling — pulsed hammer action |
| Rotary Hammer (SDS) | 18V / 36V | Heavy masonry, concrete — pneumatic hammer action, SDS-Plus chuck |
| Angle Grinder (115mm) | 18V | Cutting + grinding — workshop standard size |
| Angle Grinder (125mm / 230mm) | 18V / 36V | Heavier cutting + structural grinding |
| Circular Saw (190mm) | 18V or 36V | Timber + framing cuts on-site — 36V matches corded performance |
| Reciprocating Saw / Sabre Saw | 18V / 36V | Demolition cuts — wood + metal + pipe |
| Multi-Tool / Oscillating | 18V | Plunge cuts, sanding, scraping — refurb + install work |
| Brushless vs Brushed Motors | Either platform | Brushless = longer runtime + tool life + more power per amp-hour |
Critical platform rule: Buying tools across brands means buying batteries multiple times. Standardise on ONE brand for production teams. Brushless premium = worth it for daily-use tools. Battery sizing: Ah rating = runtime; voltage = power; 5.0Ah+ for heavy-cut tools like grinders + saws. Companion: power tools, drill accessories, cut-off discs, abrasives.
Cordless Power Tools
AIMS Industrial stocks professional-grade cordless power tools across 18V and 36V battery platforms for trades, maintenance and industrial applications. Our range covers the core cordless tools needed in workshop, construction and maintenance environments — drills, impact drivers, angle grinders, circular saws and reciprocating saws — from brands trusted by Australian tradespeople.
18V Platform Tools
The 18V platform remains the industry standard for cordless hand tools. It delivers the power-to-weight ratio suited to the broadest range of trade applications — overhead work, confined spaces and repetitive fastening — while offering battery compatibility across the range within the same brand platform. 18V cordless drill drivers, impact drivers and angle grinders cover the majority of workshop, site and maintenance requirements.
36V / Dual-Battery Tools
36V (or 2x18V) cordless tools are the choice where sustained high-power output is required — large angle grinders, circular saws, reciprocating saws cutting structural steel and heavy-duty hammer drills. These tools match or exceed corded performance for most trade applications, eliminating the trailing lead and associated trip and electrical hazards on site.
Battery Platforms and Compatibility
Battery platform compatibility — being able to use one battery across multiple tools — is the primary factor in cordless tool purchasing decisions for tradespeople and maintenance teams. AIMS stocks tools from established platforms where the battery investment translates to flexibility across a broad tool range.
