What makes your power tools different from other brands?
Our tools feature three exclusive innovations you will not find anywhere else: POWERSTATE brushless motors purpose-built for each tool application, REDLITHIUM battery technology delivering up to 50% more power and running 50% cooler, and REDLINK PLUS intelligence providing full-circle communication between tool, battery, and charger. This system delivers unmatched power, run-time, and durability. Additionally, our M18 platform offers compatibility across 250+ tools with a single battery system.
What is the M18 platform and why does it matter?
The M18 platform is our 18-volt cordless system featuring over 250 compatible tools, from drills and saws to outdoor power equipment. The key advantage is battery compatibility — one M18 battery powers your entire tool collection. This means less investment in multiple battery systems, simplified inventory management, and the flexibility to expand your toolkit without starting over. The platform includes standard REDLITHIUM, HIGH OUTPUT, and FORGE battery options to match your power needs.
What is POWERSTATE brushless motor technology?
POWERSTATE is our exclusive brushless motor technology designed and built specifically for each tool application. Unlike generic brushless motors, POWERSTATE motors are engineered to deliver up to 60% more power, 2X longer motor life, and sustained power under heavy load. They eliminate the friction and heat of brushed motors, resulting in cooler operation, greater efficiency, and significantly extended tool life even under daily professional use.
How do I choose the right battery for my tools?
Our M18 system offers several battery tiers: CP (Compact) batteries are lightweight and ideal for overhead work and tight spaces; XC (Extended Capacity) batteries provide balanced power and run-time for most applications; HD (High Demand) batteries deliver maximum power for the most demanding tools; and FORGE batteries represent our latest technology with COOL-CYCLE capability for fastest charging. All M18 batteries work with all M18 tools — choose based on your run-time needs and tool application.
What is REDLINK PLUS intelligence?
REDLINK PLUS is the most advanced system of cordless power tool electronics available. It provides full-circle communication between the tool, battery, and charger, monitoring conditions thousands of times per second. This system prevents damage from overload, overheating, and over-discharge while optimizing performance in real-time. It is the reason our tools can push harder and last longer than the competition without sacrificing reliability.
What is ONE-KEY and how does it work?
ONE-KEY is our integrated digital platform that adds smart capabilities to compatible tools. Using the free ONE-KEY app on your smartphone, you can track your tools' locations, remotely lock them to prevent unauthorized use, customize torque and speed settings for specific applications, and manage your entire inventory. It is like having a digital toolbox manager in your pocket.

What does your warranty cover?
Our power tools are covered by a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Batteries and chargers carry a 2-year warranty. This includes motor failures, electronic malfunctions, gearbox defects, and structural issues under normal use. It does not cover normal wear and tear, damage from misuse, or consumable items. See our Warranty page for complete details.
How do I file a warranty claim?
Contact us through our Contact page with your order number, photos of the defect, and a description of the issue. Our team will review your claim within 3-5 business days. Approved claims receive a prepaid return label and either a repair, replacement, or refund at our discretion.
How should I maintain my power tools?
Clean exterior surfaces with a dry cloth after each use. Store tools in a dry environment away from moisture. For outdoor equipment, clear debris after each use and check fasteners regularly. Batteries should be stored at moderate temperatures and charged only with compatible chargers. Grinders and saws require regular inspection of guards and safety features. Never use damaged or worn accessories.
Are your tools compatible with other brands' batteries?
Our M18 and M12 batteries are designed specifically for our tool platforms and are not compatible with other brands. However, within the M18 system, all batteries work with all M18 tools regardless of battery tier. This means you can use a compact CP battery on a heavy-duty tool, or an HD battery on a compact tool — the choice depends on your run-time needs.
What is the difference between M18 and M18 FUEL?
M18 refers to our 18-volt battery platform. M18 FUEL represents our premium tier of tools within that platform, featuring three exclusive technologies: POWERSTATE brushless motors, REDLITHIUM battery packs, and REDLINK PLUS intelligence. M18 FUEL tools deliver the highest performance in our lineup and are designed for the most demanding professional applications. Standard M18 tools offer reliable performance for less intensive tasks.
Do you offer tools for DIY users or only professionals?
While our tools are engineered to professional standards, they are absolutely suitable for serious DIY enthusiasts and homeowners who demand the best. The same durability, performance, and battery compatibility that make our tools jobsite favorites also make them excellent choices for home projects. Whether you are building a deck, renovating a kitchen, or maintaining your landscape, our tools deliver professional results.
How do I know which tool is right for my application?
Our product pages include detailed specifications and application guidance. For drilling, consider the material (wood, metal, concrete) and the required torque. For cutting, match the blade type and capacity to your material thickness. For fastening, check the torque requirements of your fasteners. If you need personalized guidance, contact our customer service team with details about your project and we will recommend the right tools.
What safety features do your tools include?
Safety is engineered into every tool. Our grinders feature RAPIDSTOP brakes that stop accessories in under 2 seconds. Impact wrenches include anti-kickback technology. Saws have blade guards and riving knives. All tools feature LED work lights for visibility. REDLINK PLUS intelligence prevents overload and overheating. We strongly recommend reading the operator's manual for each tool and always using appropriate personal protective equipment.
