Cordless Drill with Best Batteries/Charger under $125?

Nope. Havent...and thats because no one sells them in the area. All of the supply stores have dropped them here. The only Panasonic stuff we sell and buy now are the bathroom fans....nothing better there...thats for sure.

You know...I have no idea. I know that when Johnstone carried them, they were the ONLY place you could get one. They also had that one with the adjustable position chuck that I wanted one of, and when I went to get one, they told me they had dropped the line. It looked good tho...never got to use one.

Might be...but I gotta ask..:) Will it survive a 48 foot fall? The new Bocsh I have claims they will...(and no..its not my favorite) And does it have a lifetime warranty? Milwaukee does.

When you are working commercially, THATS what I care about...durability and warranty.

I don't know what the warranty is, but isn't Milwaukee's warranty only lifetime as long as you don't 'abuse' and don't they specifically single out commercial use as a voiding of the warrantly? Sounds like they only fix it if they want to.

A few months ago I bought a Craftsman 19.2 volt drill. I bought it in there parts/repair department so it or one of the components is refurbished in someway. It came with the drill, 2 batteries, charger, flahslight (uses same batery as drill), a cordless scredriver with charger (sausage shaped ones), two screwdriver bits, and a wide mouthed canvas bag. Out the door - $98.00 and it is still under warrenty.

I looked this morning in the warranty papers, and no, commercial is not even mentioned. Milwaukee touts themselves as THE commercial brand..and honestly, they are. But, all that aside, abuse on a commercial tool is hard to define. The guy that runs the local Milwaukee auth repair center told me one time that as long as it looked like you had not taken a hammer to the back side of the drill and never pulled the trigger to get it to bore, it can be covered, and I have never had any problem getting warranty work done on any of the stuff we have...might be a local thing, but thats my experence.
