I don't want to hijack Mike Heidrick's thread on the best cordless drill, but that thread made me think…

My local pawn shops are filled with cordless tools. Which used cordless drill would you recommend, assuming I have to buy a new battery?

I need to look, but I might still have a couple 9V Makita's that take the stick batteries. If I do, how does FREE sound?

That would be a definite "Woohoo!"

If I was buying full priced batteries (2 or more) I would be buying a drill set new. Cheap I would go Ryobi it sounds like from the feedback so far in the other threads. Buddy likes his $99 Sears drill. If it was free and came with batteries MAYBE it would be worth having them rebuilt of ot was a Dewalt or Makita or Bosch.
