This week I picked up a 3/8" Milwaukee Heavy Duty at our local Mill's Fleet Farm for $60 or 1/2 price, it was the old model Milwaukee replaced with a much cheaper drill. The box said made in the USA, but the drill says China. I hope it is made in the USA. The case is one I picked up out of the trash at work for free.
The Second one was going to my local Rockler store today and looking at their Back to Shop sale for weekend. I was walking by their Magswitch wall display, and noticed the price of $35 for the Magfence Comb kit which is normally about $140. I had to of course grab it, since just 1 30mm Magswitch is about $35. To top it off I found a set of Kid's size ear protectors (My 5 yr old likes working with me in the shop and the adult ones are always slipping off his head.), which allowed me to use my 50% off second item and get one of their Pipe clamp wall racks for $7.99.
So here are the Pictures to prove the 2 mini gloats.:)

I've got that same drill. I'm not crazy about the keyless chuck, but the drill is Milwaukee, and it's hard to beat that. If yours goes to 2500 rpm, it's a great drill for pocket hole jigs.

Thanks for the replies. I actually was thinking about it for Pocket Holes, since my cordless drills just don't seem to keep up. Keyless chuck on a corded drill? If I don't like it I can always pick up a good Jacob one as a replacement. Someone else said you can do a 1/2" chuck, since it would fit. I just needed something lighter than my PC Hammer Drill.
Again thanks for looking.
