[Shop-talk] homeowner/ shop guy cordless drill

[Pat Horne]

John, I’ve been using DeWalt t power tools since the early 90s while building houses with Habitat for Humanity & am very pleased with them. They now have brushless motors which produce more torque & last the battery lasts longer on each charge compared to earlier models. 

Check out CPO outlets (cpooutlets.com) they sell factory refurbished tools & excess stock. I have not been able to tell the difference between what they sell & what Home Depot sells, including paperwork & box. 

Peace, Pat

what is the consensus on a decent cordless drill for a homeowner/shop tinkerer/classic truck owner.
I finally let the smoke out of it (literally) yesterday and the torque setting ring is just about stripped...yea I overworked it
 
the internet likes the Dewalt 20v  DCD771C2) for around a hundred bucks  and that's pretty much in my budget.  It seems that Dewalt has
at least 576 models of 1/2" drill depending on whats included and what month it is.
 
Won't be used daily and certainly not trades type work...Just an above average shop guy at home

you recommendations are always appreciated but keep them under 150.00   don't need all the included gizmos and bits and screwdrivers and carrying case...just a basic drill/charger and a
couple of batteries
