I looked in the archives and could not find this topic discussed any later than 2003 so I thought I would see what recommendations people might have now in 2008.
I have a Skil cordless drill. I like the weight and balance of the tool, it does the jobs I want it for, the batteries have lasted for years and years, but I HATE the chuck and it is getting worse by the week.
I am on the hunt for a cordless drill with a user friendly chuck that will actually hold the bits in place, not too heavy, balanced in the hand, two batteries would be good. I'm not going to spend extra $$ for "totally excellent" top of the line - reliable and "very good" will suit me.
I know y'all have opinions on which drill to choose and I look forward to reading your picks and reasoning. And after I find the right tool I will, of course, want to know where to find the best deal, too .
Thanks!
