I have been happy with the Ridgid tools I've purchased lately - and they
have a lifetime battery warranty. A friend swears by the Hitachi tools he
has, and I'll agree, they're very nice!
I'll echo others' statements about voltage. I don't look much above 14.4V,
as if I need that much torque/power, I'll run a cord and/or bring more
batteries.
