By the way, I do have one of these DeWalt drills - with a power cord.
It is the only one I've been able to depend on to have sufficient power to do a job at my mountain house where I only use the drill infrequently and the batteries are always dead in a DeWalt or Makita cordless.

I've abused my Milwaukee, but it just keeps going. Built several decks and walkways with it.

For just drilling, I vote DeWalt or Bosch -- 18 volt if you actually need that much power, but the smaller 12 or 14.4 volt models are lighter and smaller and in most cases, should handle the average person's needs.
With that said -- once I added a Bosch impact driver, it made putting in screws, lagbolts and other fasteners plus and tightening/loosening bolts sooooooo much easier and faster than with a drill plus its built-in worklight is very convenient. It is much smaller and lighter than an equivalent cordless drill. MikeSp

I've been a carpenter for 35 yrs or so and I always seem to prefer Milwaukee
Tools. Festool does make some nice tools but they are overpriced for the guy that uses his tools every day. |

I'm a Milwaukee guy, too...not the lightest, but built like tanks.
