The Right-size Drill

Barely six inches long, and not that much heavier than a 12-volt version, the Dewalt Atomic 20-Volt Max Brushless Compact Drill/driver blasted through any job we tossed at it—from punching big holes through joists to driving screws in tight spots like under the sink. The flat-pack battery means it won’t tip over when you set it down. $159; dewalt.com
