Overview
The AVID CD316-20 is a cordless drill on a 20 volt battery platform, rated at 550 RPM and weighing 3.7 lb. The 15 amp figure listed likely refers to motor or charger draw rather than battery capacity, which isn't separately specified.
550 RPM sits on the low end for a drill, which tends to favor driving torque over fast hole boring; that pairing is common on compact fastening focused models. Chuck size and battery amp hours aren't listed, so bit compatibility and runtime should be checked separately.
- 20 volt battery powered
- 550 RPM rating
- 3.7 lb weight
- Model CD316-20
Who it's for
Suits general fastening and light drilling around the house or shop where a cordless, lightweight tool matters more than raw speed. Less suited to fast boring through hard material given the low listed RPM.
Pros and cons
- Cordless 20V battery platform
- Light 3.7 lb body for one-handed use
- Strong 4,000 unit monthly purchase volume
- 550 RPM is low for fast drilling in hard material
- Battery capacity in amp hours not listed
- Chuck size not specified
Performance notes
At 550 RPM no load, torque delivery for driving fasteners is likely stronger than raw drilling speed, a common tradeoff on 20V compact drills. The 3.7 lb weight keeps it maneuverable for overhead or one-handed use.
