What Cordless Drill Should I Buy!?

by William on November 24, 2009


Please pick a brand… I want to hear what people think about cordless drills and which brands they like better… I have a Makita and the I wasn’t crazy about the power it provided, I had a Black and Decker and found i wasn’t crazy about the operations of it, I have a new DeWalt and found that my battery dies really fast!. Remember the drill I am buying will be 18V no matter what brand it is… you can pick a drill from the list below or add in a brand that you like..
Black & Decker
DeWalt
Hitachi
Makita
Ryobi
Porter Cable
Skill
??
Please answer honestly and you may add reason in to why you chose the drill!! Any past experiences?

I have had a 14v and an 18v DeWalt for years. Are you sure you didn’t get a bad battery pack? I have 4 for the 18v and 1 seems to drop faster than the others. These have been used in my Handymaam business almost daily for the past 4 yrs. Black & Decker is DeWalt’s cheaper version, Makita isn’t what it used to be and Ryobi is also a lower end tool. Try the Porter Cable if you decide against DeWalt. I have a Porter Cable nail gun that is awesome.
