[Shop-talk] homeowner/ shop guy cordless drill

[Doug Braun]

I have this Makita drill:
https://www.amazon.com/Makita-XFD15ZB-Lithium-Ion-Sub-Compact-Driver-Drill/dp/B09BXZTGR1
It's extra-compact, but insanely strong.  I ended up getting some other
Makita tools that use the same batteries.

If DeWalt also sells a full-power compact drill, you should consider it.
They are lighter, and will fit in more places.
