Is there such a drill motor?

[limeylew]

I recently did a few searches for a ' 3/8" capacity, 12V, hammer drill with a Lithium battery ' but keep coming up empty.

Is there such an animal?

TIA.

try Harbor Freight? ISTR they have a "12V" Li-ion drill-driver. Not a hammer drill,though.

using lithium cells,an 18V pack is smaller and lighter than a 12V NiCd or NiMH packs,has more energy density,and doesn't self-discharge in a short time. you can leave one in storage for 6 months,and still use it immediately without first having to recharge it.

If you need a hammer drill, you probably want more than 12V. It would be a very limited market.

A couple of years ago I'd say that 12 and 14.4 made sense for drill because they are lighter and adequate. Last week I used a Milwaukee

18V and it was nice to handle. Battery technology is improving.

Another in the line of Milwaukee

Many manufacturers have lower voltage (than 18V) driver/drills. No need to buy junk.

A 12V LiIon is lighter yet.
