I broke my normal drill and I've never used my impact for drilling (seems like not quite what it's meant for). Anyways I don't have enough money to purchase a new drill this week and I'm working on a new deck. Is there a way to use the smaller bits (Should only need 1/8") in the impact?

Thanks in advance!

Which is a better tool set to buy. Both are really good and i would buy the newest of both and brand new, the milwaukee red lithium or RIDGID because RIDGID stands up to their name and have extremely good service warentees, but milwaukees newest red lithium are really nice. Need help. Would buy a kit with impact driver, drill/driver, sawzaw worklight.18volt lithium ion.

Im in the market for a 12 volt cordless screwdriver lithium ion. Im debating in between the Milwaukee M12 screwdriver and the Dewalt 12 volt max. My dad has the Milwaukee M12 which we bought 3 years ago.Other than having the batteries replaced once under warranty tool is working great. I went down to my local home depot and held the Dewalt 12 volt max and its very comfortable and feels like it was made for my hand. I have four Dewalt tools over the years. Ive always been told its a comemricial Black N Decker. Im a more heavier Milwaukee user though. But in order to get the Milwaukee M12 to stand up like the Dewalt, i have to get the XC battery pack for another . I thought Id ask tool users which one they prefer and why Milwaukee M12 screwdriver or Dewalt 12 volt max screwdriver?

It's time for me to seriously upgrade from a Black & Decker 7.2V(Target) drill to a new one with more power,speed,etc. I'll be using the drill for basic things such as putting up blinds to maybe down the road doing a deck,kitchen,sheetrock,etc. By know means am I going to build a house with it but I do want a drill that will be able to handle small to large projects. I'm looking for something that is lightweight as well.

I picked up a Dewalt 18V (DW959K2)from Lowes on sale for 9. It turns out that it's some sort of model that Lowes doesn't even carry now. I don't know if it's an older model or what. It doesn't have a rubber grip like the current Dewalts leading me to believe that it may not be comfortable after extended usage.

So my dilemma: Do I return it and check out one of the newer XRP Dewalts like the 14.4 or reg 18V(same as mine with grip?) or should I check out something newer like the Makita Lithium-ion 3.5 lps 18v,Panasonic 15.6 (3.5 NI-MH) or other brands? Help.

is a 12 volt lithium ion cordlesss drill good enough for hvac work i will be installing commercial duct and probably drilling with it to . these new drills are very light but do they have the power?

I need to use a drill to make stuff with wood and drill holes in a regular wall but will it have enough power to use with a hammer drill attachment? ( used to drill into brick )

if you know of anymore drills that fit this description please post

Is such battery exist?

For a short duration (10 seconds), very high current drain (1 - 2 Amp), but still maintaining low self-discharge rate (70% or more within 1 year).

For example, Rechargeable AA NiCd / NiMh great for high current but mediocre self discharge. Non-rechargeable Alkaline / Lithium AA has virtually no self discharge, but does not withstand very high current drain.

The perfect battery is supposedly Rechargeable Lithium-Ion (which is used in new generation cordless power tools (drills, etc), but IS AA SIZE (PENLITE) RECHARGEABLE BATTERY EXIST, YET?

Otherwise what's best the AA alternative?

I heard Sanyo's Eneloop isn't good if being used for very high current, is this correct?

I want to buy a cordless screwdriver as a gift. I'm looking at the Mastercraft 3.6V Lithium Ion Screwdriver (item # 54-2740-8 at canadian tire) it seems a good value but I haven't had any recent experience with cordless screwdrivers. the last time i used one was nearly 20 years ago.

Can any one shed some light onto this and tell me if this product is good, or can you suggest an alternative?
