Tools New drill

[o8f150]

i bought a cordless dewalt a while back and it is great,, was worth the extra money,,,

I wanted a general purpose kit to cover most projects. Settled on a Milwaukee 28 volt Li Ion set including 1/2" hi/lo vsr hammer drill, circular saw, hi/low geared variable speed Sawzall, swivel head light, two batteries and one hour charger with carry bag. Someone stole circular saw and battery. Purchased a replacement batt. for $160 with tax, priced saw at $325. Less than $75 away from what I paid for whole set. Have been happy with performance of all tools. Very torquey with good run times. Very impressed with lithium ion operation. Thought all Milwaukee branded tools were made in US, was surprised to read made in China on all pieces.

I have the whole DeWalt 18v nicd line.....If I had my pick right now I'd go with the Makita lithium ions.......

Had DeWalt nicd at our race shop... switched three years ago when the Makita li's came out. Night and day difference in speed, power, battery life, and weight.

Here is the deal. I got an Echo 2 stroke drill with reverse. No batteries no cords and it works where you need it to. I have everthing in the shop to run it and work on it if neeed be. Can't beat um.

Yeah! Just build a drill out of a weedwacker motor. Can't beat that! I think I'll do that with my old Ryobi weedwacker powerhead. :biggrinbounce2: I will post results.

I don't have this drill yet... but have used them and they are very nice.. IMO the best brand of power tools out there.

I've got a 36 volt Dewalt hammerdrill. I have the sawzall and circular saw too. I love these tools and they have been doing great so far. You can't hardly bog the circular saw and the drill will break your wrist if you let it.

I have been real happy with the cordless Porter Cable line that Lowe's has. You can get either NiCAD or Li-ion. They have several bare tools that work with the batteries. I have been using the drill and impact driver for over a year and no problems whatsoever. They are extremely powerful, have great balance and have long battery lives.

Milwaukee for my hammer drill and dewalt for my plug in 3/8. I've not had enough good things with cordless to help but cousin uses every day and runs Milwaukee. Hope that helps.
