Hi Noddy
I have been down the road of cordless drills it's not the drill it's battery that they come with them..
The only one I have found that will stand up is the Dewalt 18 volt, I can't think of anything that can get you going more than when you use a cordless drill and use it just for a bit and the battery is dead...then you need to stop and go back to the shop and get one more or charge the one it came with..
It's true the Dewalt is not a 49.oo drill most are over 100.oo but the best will always cost more..
But that's just my 2 cents..

Used it quite a bit and pretty happy with it. I've always been happy with all of Hitachi's tools that I've ever owned. Lowes had it on sale for 49 buck, with a free bit set (4 bits) inside. Comes in a nice hard / case.
The only thing it didn't come with was the "T" handle for additional support. These can be bought and are pretty universal, so if needed, I'll rob one off another tool if needed. (recommended for use with hole saws, larger bits, etc)
Amazon has them for 59 buck. http://www.amazon.com/Hitachi-D10VH-...0053758&sr=8-5
Lowe's has them for 49 buck. http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...0VH&lpage=none
Comes with a 5 year warranty.
If you are looking for a solid, all around 3/8" drill motor, check this one out. It's worth a look at the 49 buck price. I compared it to the (similar) PC and Dewalt drills and found this one to be a better deal. (YMMV) |
