I've been looking for a cordles drill for some time. In addition to the convenience of cordless for general household maintenance work, I'd also like for it to be able to deal with woodworking chores re: drilling up to 2x wood, screws for the same. Purely non-pro use (i.e. light to periodic moderate use), but I'd like something more than just a lightweight utility drill. Saying that, I'm seeing more and more of "brand name" drill models of the 12V-14V size being offered at extremely good prices. One such (Makita 6280D: 14.4V,
1.3Ahr, about 300-odd ft/lbs torque) has caught my eye in a local sale flyer. Price is nice ($125 Cdn) but I know next to nothing about this particular model/build series. Any user comments? Any comments in general about the minimum I should be looking at? I have no other cordless equipment here. For the most part, PC and Bosch corded tools. But the convenience factor of the drill has finally nudged me along enough to consider purchasing one.thanks
