Chucky, I have tried various drills over the years and found the old Craftsman Professional line to be hands down the most reliable cordless drill. I have gone through several Dewalt drills in the last ten years. IMO they are junk.
The Craftsman drills we use have been in service for over five years and are now out of production. The batteries packs hold a charged for ever. If I had a dollar for every time they have been dropped I could retire. I have bounced them off of ten foot ladders onto concrete floors...still going! I purchase them off of ebay now since they are no longer available and have over a dozen in my inventory.
These drills were built by RYOBI! So pound for pound, I would get the ryobi.
