Skil 18V XDrive Cordless Drill

Mostly but better drills in lower voltages have the same or better run time and power as higher voltage cheaper drills also.

Fair enough. If

Given those circumstances, that would probably be a decent choice.

Yes, I have. Also Ryobi and a Porter Cable in case you are interested.

See my other post regarding the differences. A few magazies have doe that in even more detail. This is not a mystery.

My favorite is a Panasonic 15.6 volt. Suites me just fine, may not you. I like the combination of light weight yet penty of pwer and features.

I ended up buying DeWalt DC727KA. It cost me $40 more than the 18V Skil. You may not believe this, but one of the main reasons for this were all the bells and whistles on Skil, which I found more annoying than helpful. Every time you turn the thing on, the worklite comes on too...If I had bought the Skil, the first I'd do is to put a piece of masking tape over that thing... And that stud finder, which you need to detach and attach....laser level - useless on any surface with a slightest bulge.

I still believe that Skil 18V is fine for around the house, and would have probably bought it if it weren't for those gizmos that were getting on my nerves. For 40 more bucks I got a decent tool, simple and rugged. I hope batteries don't die too soon.
