My Sawzall® is no longer my favorite electric/cordless tool...
Sears had a set of their Craftsman (Ryobi) 19.2volt tools on sale for $189, 1/2" drill, reciprocating saw (my dad wanted this, even though we have the 11amp Sawzall®), fluorescent light, trim saw, and the ever popular impact driver.
Got it home, charged up a battery, and let me say this, I will NEVER use a drill or hammer drill to drive screws again (except drywall screws, see below.) A little noisy yes, but it drives 3" lags into this old redwood framing without any complaints. Its first task was to mount a pot-rack for my mother with the 3" lag screws.
Only thing it won't do is drive drywall screws, snaps the heads off. Oh well, the regular drill will still do that.
I'm sold.
