I have tried many drills, and now will buy nothing but Ridgid. You can only get them at the Home Depot, but they are well worth it. In fact, I was so impressed with it, I buy everything Ridgid now. I actually bought my drill back in 2001 when they were giving a life-time warrentee and that even includes the batteries. Haven't had one problem with it, and my friends have comprable priced drills, and mine beats them in lasting and power every time.

If you go on tooliday.com they have a Milwaukee 18 volt kit for $139. It's reconditioned, but it's still under warranty for a year. That is also a good tool brand. One thing to think about with Dewalt. The battery fits anything that is 18 volts. So if you decide later to add a saw, an impact driver, my personal favorite of their line, or any other tool that uses 18 volts, the battery will fit any one of the tools. You can go online and find sales on "tool only" and it's a bunch cheaper. Just something to consider. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ward & Kathy Dudley To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 5:53 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Suggestions on a New Cordless Drill Hi Guys and gals, Time to replace the "El Cheapo" drill with a good one. Which would you suggest? It most likely will be purchased at Lowe's or online. The ones at Lowe's that are under concideration are Hitachi, Dewalt, Bosch and Porter-Cable. Looking at 18 Volt, variable speed, 1/2" keyless chuck. What about the battery amp hour? Any other suggestions such as brand, torque, etc. Thanks, Ward [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
