Yeah...I probably use my impact driver more than my drill.

For $70 more I'd get the cobo with the impact driver.


I got the combo in Dec. for $149 from Home Depot. That impact is a badass. I put a 3/8 drive socket in it and took the lug nuts off my truck with it.

I just bought a $29.99 one from Home Depot. It is a plug in though. I got tired of making sure the damn battery was charged. It seems to have more torque, too.

Makita is the best and has been for a long time. I own several cordless drills and all are used every day. Have a couple of DeWalts. The person using the DeWalts is the person that gets to the job site last.

Bought that one. Works great for me. Our place has masonary walls and the drill is plenty powerful to drill into those walls.

Makita corded tools are great, especially their circular saws and concrete tools. Their cordless stuff is nothing special and is much harder to get parts when they quit. Hitachi is the best going in terms of what you get for what you spend for home/shop use.

Get the combo with the impact driver. You will have two batteries so one c should always be on the charger.

My only complaint about the dewalt is the funky Chinese smell that comes from the motor.

Over the years I had about 6-7 cordless drills. Only one that lasted was the DeWalt. Sad I left it in La with my son-in-law.

Get a Milwaukee. I sell tools. The dewalts are the only ones coming back in the door in less than a year because something broke. Now given my customers are using the ever loving shite out of them. I'd still get Milwaukee. What's hilarious about the dewal is evenbthough they break they come in and buy the exact same thing.

I have that exact drill. It's great, and has been able to handle any project I've needed it for

Dewalt or Hitachi combo is your best bet.

this is what you want. better than the dewalt lover lasting battery. the 18 volt is the same as the 20 volt dewalt just different marketing.

amazon does have them right nw but they are the same price as dewalt.
