Need a new Cordless Drill

[Mitchell Garnett]

I'll give another vote for Ridgid if your use is non-professional. I have several different drills and impact drivers, all are Lithium Ion and none have failed yet. I think my oldest is probably about 7 or 8 years old now. The go-to drill is an 18v. It gets used several times a week. I'm not sure it would hold up if you're using it for several hours a day though.

I know some people have posted about having problems with Ridgid on warranty issues but I can't comment on that subject since I've never needed warranty service.

Let us know what you finally choose.

I picked up the DeWalt 20v lith-ion a few months ago. Included 2 batteries, charger and case for $99. It's on sale again this weekend at Home Depot. It's a lot better thanthe older 18v DeWalt I got about 10 years ago.
