I've had much better luck with Makita than Dewalt.
I have three Bosch cordless 18V drills. I love them. I have abused the heck out of one of one of them at work and it still runs like it did when it was new. I got a drill and impact drill in a combo pack for $119 two years ago at Lowe’s. I would make the purchase again in a heartbeat.
So many difference experiences with different makes and models of cordless drills. I’ve had Bosch and Dewalt drills - hated the former, liked the latter. If I were to plunk down the coin for a new drill, I’d look closely at Milwaukee. The placement of the LED’s on their drills that I saw is suboptimal, though.
I need to get a lightweight set for my reloading bench. Preferably one with a small drill, maybe a hand vac, something like that. I dunno. Hadn't thought about it, but I do need something now that I see this topic. I really only need the drill for my brass trimmer, my case prep center is powered. Hmmm... I need to think about compact and easy to use. Don't need a ton of POWAH for this, but some versatility would be nice.
DeWalt 20V.
I’m just a dyi guy, but I’m a tool nut. On my workbench I currently have Mikita, Dewalt, Milwaukee, and Bosch power tools from 12 to 18 volt. By far, the tools I use most are Mikita. Still use the little 12 volt drills for 75% of what I do around the shop/house.
Yup he isn't safe for work or kids but knows what he is talking about for sure.
While we're on the subject of batteries, I took my Bosch 18V battery to Bulbs and Batteries and they replaced the batteries and it didn't last a year. I'm not sure if this is typical but it irritated me because the Bosch is useless without a battery...I have two dead batteries now for the Bosch.
Lithium ion or in-cad?
