cordless drills

we use hilti at the glass shop.. too bad anything hilti is automatically an extra 200 then anything else.

I use the whole line of Rigid cordless stuff and I love them. They have lasted me over two years. I used them daily.

I work at SEARS selling tools......Craftman cordless drills......FUCKING JUNK. theyre crap. any drill made within the past 4-5 years is not going to last you. the 19.2 is alright due to the choice of add on tools that that use the same battery. we carry an entire line or tools designed for that battery, but in the end....still junk. Spend the extra 15% on the 2 year replacement warranty on any drill you get from Sears...its worth it. If it breaks within 2 years...well replace it. Craftsman drills are made by Ryobi......hence the reason they suck.

My advice....look into the Bosch Drills. DeWalt is also up there along with Milwaulkee. Do yourself a favor and buy something good the first time. If youre still set on buying a cheaper priced drill.....wait until your local Sears gets the new 20.0 Volt Lithium battery powerd drills in. They last longer, dont, over charge and take more charges over all

I've used the same craftsman drill for 5 years. No problem at all.

for that money the best would be rigid I got lucky and got the impact and the 3/8drill for a $150 with a charger that takes only 20 min I say get the 14.4 rigid impact small and compact its one of my favorite drills and I beat the shit out of it,I also have every other drill out there dewalt 18v 14v,craftsman is ass, I'm sure you already know cheaper is never better you get what you pay for

i know the guy that works at sear says there junk but i got the craftsman 19.2 volt drill and right angle drill combo for xmas for 100 bucks and i love them both and i abuse the drill at least

Ryobi may be junk, but they are a good throwaway drill. If you aren't using it for anything too serious it will get the job done. It's more of a homeowners drill i'd say. Something the wife can use haha. Smoked mine in a week of everyday use.

You cant beat the Milwaukee drills, I had a 14V at my old job, was using it every day for over 3 years with no problems. One battery quit charging about 3 months ago. I have a 18V at my house, its killer. I got it free along with a 18V cordless sawzall when my dad bought his new Ford last year. He lives in a apartment and had no use for it, killer deal.

Anyone used that Rigid right angle impact? that thing looks pretty freaking nice...like it would get tight places well..and with the right angle your hand prolly wouldnt fatigue too bad.
