How can I tell if a drill is powerful enough for my needs?

To determine if a drill is powerful enough for your needs, start by checking its voltage (for cordless drills) or amperage (for corded drills), as these directly indicate the motor's power level. A higher voltage or amperage means a more powerful drill. Review the torque settings, which measure the force the drill can apply, to ensure it meets your requirements.
