My trusty old Makita 6201D 9.6v is finally giving up the ghost, & I'd appreciate any advice for modern replacements for around-the-house type duty (preferably under $100). I'd been looking at the Sears flyers in the papers lately, & with their crazy sales & discounts, I could get one of their 14.4v or 18v Craftsmans for well under $100. Are these models false economy, or could I depend on one to last me as long as my Makita (8+ yrs)?
Thanks, Huntman
