[Shop-talk] Cordless drill/screw driver

[Pat Horne]

Eric,

All my DeWalts are old enough to have brushes, I’ve  not been disappointed.
Drill(3), impact (2), reciprocating saw, circular saw, all 18 Volt, converted to 20 Volt battery. Brushless are probably much better but for home use it may not be a factor. 

Peace,
Pat

I always love my dewalts.  They are top performers (or near top) most of the time.  Great price.  Be careful as some of the big boxes sell their lower tier items (brush vs brushless motors, etc.) 

One place where I am VERY disappointed with Dewalt is their battery chainsaw.  It works OK, but the Milwaukee is so far superior.  I may buy one and have two battery standards.

Hey all, 

I know this has been discussed ad nauseam but I didn't save any of those emails..... 

I have a $100 menards rebate check and a $60 rebate visa card that are both burning a hole in my pocket. Also, I have the 15% "anything you can fit in the bag" sale bag. I figure $160 is a good starting point and am willing to at least match that 160 or more if necessary to get the best out there right now. 

So, what is the best right now? I am not worried about a little heavier than most as I am not contractor and this won't get used every day. I am just getting tired of dragging cords. I'd like whatever I get to be the start of going all cordless (skill saw, Sawzall, etc). 

Thanks all
