DEWALT DC900KL 36-Volt 1/2-inch Lithium Ion Cordless Hammerdrill/Drill/Driver Kit with NANO Technology Top Quality


I bought this with a reciprocal saw on sale for 60% off and I have been rather impressed. The chuck never slips (as cheaper drills do) and the battery lasts for weeks. My only complaints are that the battery seems to suddenly run out of power with little warning (there is no gauge as competitors have) and it is quite heavy.Get more detail about DEWALT DC900KL 36-Volt 1/2-inch Lithium Ion Cordless Hammerdrill/Drill/Driver Kit with NANO Technology.

DEWALT DC983KA 14.4-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit This instant


i see no reason for getting an 18volt i've used both and the 14.4 is a BEAST! i've dropped this drill off a 12 foot ladder then down a flight of steps and didnt even scratch it, the battery popped out thats it. the precision of the variable speed trigger is awesome works perfect for tiny holes or big holes..large screws or small. this drill has enough power to tweak your wrist if youre not holding on tight so it has enough power for most jobs on a construction site. battery life is superb you can run drywall screws for a few hours on a full charge and when that one is done grab the other battery off the charger. this drill is perfectly balanced too it just feels good and it makes work more enjoyable. this is definatly a MANS drill this aint no cheap B&D or Skill this baby is built to last. its expensive but worth every penny...maybe the last cordless drill that you will ever buy.Get more detail about DEWALT DC983KA 14.4-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit.

Bare-Tool Denali 565034 18-Volt Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill (Tool Only, No Battery) Best Quality


This drill has been my constant companion since buying a home. I've used it to hang things, drill things, unscrew things, screw-in things, dismantle things, reconnect things, and even once as a flashlight -- kind of.

This drill has a pretty good heft but it's balanced so it's not unwieldy. It's a bit heavy, but I don't have any issues using it for a few hours.

Unlike some drills I've used, this one stays put when I set it on the battery pack, whether I set it on a hard floor or carpeted one. Its balance is very secure (you can't tip it over just touching or bumping it).

I haven't found much use in the rotating battery pack, but I am sure someday I'll run across something and then I'll be thankful for it. As it is now, it's a non-issue -- it clicks into place and stays put just fine (not sure why some have had problems with theirs) unless you turn it.

The addition of a light is kind of nice, but I wish there was a way to turn it on without having to pull the trigger; to have it be a flashlight *and* drill would be utterly divine.

If this drill ever dies, I will be looking into another Denali drill to replace it (unless of course this one turns into a flaming ball of molten plastic or something when it goes). For the price, you get a lot!Get more detail about Bare-Tool Denali 565034 18-Volt Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill (Tool Only, No Battery).

Factory-Reconditioned Ryobi ZRP210 One+ Two-Speed Hammer Drill Get it now!


The unit did not state without battery and charger which cost as much as the drill. If I purchased the battery it could not be used as is and must be charged. So you purchase purchase both just to try the drill to see if is satisfactory. If it was not satisfactory you had a battery and charger of no use. I will say that Amazon took the drill back with no problem. I purchased another from Amazon which is fine.Get more detail about Factory-Reconditioned Ryobi ZRP210 One+ Two-Speed Hammer Drill.

DEWALT DW223G Heavy Duty 7 Amp 3/8-Inch Drill Decide Now


This drill is a great drill. There are definetly cheaper drills out there, but if you want a variable speed drill from 0-1200 RPMs this is the drill for you. There is a lot of torque. The cord is heavy duty along with the chuck. The only thing I think could be improved on is the reverse switch. It can be easily bumped to reverse the drill direction and it is also small. That's a minor complaint for an outstanding drill.Get more detail about DEWALT DW223G Heavy Duty 7 Amp 3/8-Inch Drill.
