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?

I have just bought a 24 volt cordless drill for 83 usd and it seems to work great.

But I'd like to know why a drill with the same features in another brands like Milwaukee or Dewalt are far more expensive.

Is this 100 in/lbs driver strong enough. Milwaukee was unable to answer 100%. They said it should not be a problem.

The driver in question is a Milwaukee 2401-22.

Thx
Screwed directly into the wood with no pilot hole.

on ebay I bought a Milwaukee 18 volt cordless 4 pack for a decent price. It was in the original packing and you could tell it had never ben used. I charged the battery and squeezed the drills trigger. Orange sparks shot every where out of the back vents and I smelled somthing burning. Could it be fixed? Is it the drill brake hanging up? Should I try to get my money back from the seller? I would rather fix it than return it.

I do not have enough money to be upgrading from decent quality tools to great quality tools, so this is why I'am trying to find some of the best tools out their..I'am going to be starting woodworking classes and want some good quality tools are these very good or not?
Corded drill:Milwaukee 1/2 in. Magnum® Drill, 0-850 RPM
Corded Circular Saw:Milwaukee 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw with Quik-Lok® cord, Brake and Case
Cordless Drill: Bosch 18V Litheon™ Brute Tough™ Drill Driver
Jigsaw: Bosch Top Handle Jigsaw
Also, how long do you think these tools could last if properly cared for and used 2-3 times a week or something like that,Thanks!

I am looking at buying tools for my boyfriend for christmas and I was wanting to know what is a good brand to buy?

I am looking at getting a 14.4v with a drill bit set. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
He is a farmer. He would not use it everyday but I think he would use it quite often. He is also thinking about renting a house and it needs some work. So I was thinking of tools that would be useful for farming and around the house. Thanks
What is a drill/driver?

Is that a good deal

I'm in the market for a cordless drill/driver. I would like to get one that is of superb quality and has as many applications as possible.

For example, I would like it to have a built-in level for both vertical and horizontal drilling. I wouldn't mind it having a light for use in dark places (e.g attic & basement). Also, I think an optional hammer feature may come in handy from time to time but isn't absolutely necessary.

I would prefer something well balanced with a comfortable grip. I'm not a professional contractor, but I am in the process of fixing up a house so the drill will see moderate use is the future.

I've read that when it comes to battery technology Lithium Ion is the way to go for a nice balance between power, weight, and longevity - or holding charge. I think an 18v Lithium Ion would be nice but am not dead set against considering something else - perhaps 14.4v.

I've looked at Makita, Milwaukee, and DeWalt. They all seem to make a nice product. Online searches say Panasonic makes a good one as well as Bosch. I'm torn. Any help from personal experience or even anecdotal is much appreciated.

Please offer your opinion regardless of price. Again, I desire a drill that has many of the above features and such a comprehensive drill/driver will have extreme value for me in the years to come whatever the price.

Thanks in advance.

I want to buy my husband a cordless drill. Ive been looking at the Dewalt brand and they have a cordless drill and a cordless hammer drill. Well I found out he wants to switch to Milwaukee and ive been looking around and all I see for that brand is a hammer drill. So whats the difference?
My husband farms so I would never know for sure what he would be using it for. I know he always wants the "best" he firmly belives that you get what you pay for and the more you pay the better your getting. But the one he has now is not a hammer drill and i dont recall him ever saying that he wishes he had a hammer drill.....

I have a 14.4 volt Milwaukee cordless drill. The NiCd batteries are shot. Can I replace them with Lithium batteries? Where can I purchase them?
