<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> So what you are saying is Festool is
out of the question :)</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> I have a Milwaukee kit that is 12v,
purchased as a kit for $250, its 2 tools, a drill and a impact
driver. I really like the setup and i looked into M18 drills
since I liked it so much but found the weight to be too much so
stuck with 12v. Higher voltage is nice but weight goes up quickly
and if you are doing any work above your head that will tire you
out quickly.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> I do have a Festool drill also and
those batteries last forever, I only have the Festool though
because I loaned out my Milwaukee drill one time and needed a
drill with a offset chuck, for a homeowner/hobbyist I do readily
admit I have too many Festool toys. The Milwaukee does everything
the Festool does for 1/4th the price, except for the offset chuck.<br>
