[Shop-talk] homeowner/ shop guy cordless drill

[Pat Horne]

One thing I forgot to mention is that 20v drills are not that light & I’ve see it stated that most homeowners can get by with 12v units. But what’s the fun in “getting by”!

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
