I +1 on the Ryobi 18 V (but it has to be Li-ion). They may not be the “professional grade”, but I don’t use it for work. They last much longer than the cordless of the past (unless you murder the battery; they don’t die by themselves, like our boat batteries) and they do keep charge for months, when not in use (that last comment applies to most of the Li-ion batteries). I haven’t found any 12 V chargers, though (not that I would need one).
Look for a sale at Home Depot. They happen very rarely, but I bought my set at 50% off (model year change).

They are variable speed, and those new batteries run a LONG time on a charge, and then charge back up in an hour. Plug the 110 volt charger into an inverter when onboard, or get two batteries and rotate them from home. You'll be getting so much more "tool" than anything like what you described can provide.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
