Nearly every tool of theirs has "Max" as it's in the name, "20V Max", if it has ONLY this it's usually a more basic and/or lower end tool.
Brushless is the next level up, a good rule of thumb is that if it doesn't state it's brushless, it's probably a brushed tool.
Atomic is their next line up, usually marketed as a smaller and compact tool. They usually also state brushless, some of these are near top of the line.
XR is the high end stuff, if it has "XR" printed on it then you can usually assume it's one of their higher end tools.
There are some different levels within these on specific tools but this is a good starting point.

Dewalt, Craftsman, Stanley, Porter-cable, Irwin, Proto, Mac Tools, Bostitch, and Lenox tools are all made by the same company: "Black and Decker". I am puzzled why they do not at least make their (same voltage) batteries cross compatible. Example: Porter Cable 20v batteries are identical specs to B&D 20v but they have a small plastic notch that you have to shave off to fit B&D tools. This forces consumers to buy, charge, and store multiple brands of batteries that are essentially the same in function and specs.
