RHC: I pretty well stay with Milwaukee drills for their quality and
amazing battery life. Too expensive though; however, you generally get
what you pay for. Lately, my son and I have started using Rigid
drills, which seem to be ok except the battery life is not very long.
Picked up another one in Florida at Lowes for $69....smaller battery
but it came with a charger etc. It's very light and excellent for
drilling window contacts where you have to have your arm extended out
somewhat.

Have a Ryobi as well. For the price, they aren't bad but not very good
for professional use.....amazing what China puts out these days. Been
tempted to buy Porter Cable as well....they look to be professional
quality

Being a "tool junkie" has it's problems....:))
