Hey all,
Just wanted to thank all who donated there advice on cordless drills and thanks for making me feel welcome. Been reading up on them for like a week now and its getting time to decide. Think I have narrowed it down to like three. It is between old faithful Dewalt {which I have owned} 18 volt with XRP batteries. Makita 18V model BDF451 w/Li-ion bats. And also considering a Hatachi 18V with Li-ion batteries or NiMH Batteries. Oops, thats four. Thought about a Panasonic, which I'm sure is a real good drill from all I have read, but something about buying a drill the same make as my DVD recorder just turns me off. Still a little leary about the lith batteries but they sure are a lot lighter and hold a charge longer from what I have read. Not sure about the longevity though. Any way, this is a great site and its in my favorites. Looking forward to some great reading in the future. Thanks again
