The voltage of the battery determines the amount of power that the battery can provide the drill. The larger the voltage, the more power the drill has, meaning the bigger the bits it can drill, the bigger the screws it can turn, the harder the wood it can get them through, etc. Or the more pressure it can apply to screwing or unscrewing a nut or a bolt.
The standard, professional jobsite tool line is company's 18 or20-volt line. Many of them then also have a smaller 12-volt line, which are typically lighter and smaller, but provide less power (I've read a lot of electricians saying they use 12-volt drills, because the power of a 20v is unnessesary for what they do).
Then there's occasional 8-volt tools. I'm used seeing screw-drivers that are 8-volts. This may be the first drill I've seen listed at that smaller power level.
Would this be enough for home/auto DIY? I guess it depends on what you're doing, but I wouldn't expect an 8v drill to make more than rather small holes in rather soft wood. From everything I've read, I wouldn't have gone with less than a 12v system for DIY stuff. And if you're drilling through metal in your auto work, I'd definitely think you'd need at least 12v.
If you don't have an answer to your question by this point, you could try posing it over on /tools on Reddit. I'm sure there's more than enough people over there who'd love to argue 20 vs 12 vs 8.
When you pay more for a drill, you're paying more for more power (which equals bigger holes through harder materials, faster), higher quality materials for durability (metal vs plastic vs cheap plastic), technology ('brushed' vs 'brushless' motors) and features (built in LED light to illuminate what you're cutting, multiple speed settings, and more).
This drill says on it's page that it's for 'basic home decorating needs'. I wouldn't trust it to do more than that then. If you're looking to do more than go into your drywall at home, I'd think you'd want to look at the 12v or 18/20v.
