We are incredibly lucky to have so many choices of good tools to choose from.

We all have very different wants, IMO my 18V DeWalt Hammer Drill is to heavy for all the time use, but for cavo148 it is what he wants. [Linked Image]

For general purpose use I have a very beat up still works great 14V DeWalt drill only, light and powerful enough.

The Milwaukee's I have used seem great too, but I have a free supply of DeWalt batteries so DeWalt is what I buy.

One to stay away from IMO is Ryobi, you can get a Ryobi kit for 1/3 the price of the same in DeWalt, Rigid or Milwaukee but there is a reason for that cheap price.
