I have a Milwaukee 14.4 V. and 18 V. drill, the 14.4 is by far my favorite drill, nicely balanced, reversable battery and takes abuse, the big problem is the batteries are failing and its going to be some serious dough to replace them, [Linked Image] costing enough that I considered a Panasonic,since many good things have been said about them,but the cost was a bit much,($329.00 for drill, clutch driver and 2 batteries). BTW, the Milwaukee drills were made in Germany,but last time I looked at a new one they were made in the Czech Republic.
