Corded or cordless....3/8 or 1/2 inch chuck....dewalt, rigid or porter cable. Would like a drill that is reliable. Considering corded but like the cordless for portability. Having a hard time deciding.
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

Please answer honestly and you may add reason in to why you chose the drill!! Any past experiences?
I just bought a used Porter Cable Cordless Drill. The model number is 8624. It is a 19.2 volt drill gun and at the time of me buying it (yesterday), the battery charger, battery and the drill gun worked great. Today, after it ran out of juice (the second time since me buying it), I put the battery in the charger to charge it up and left it there for at least two hours. Every time I checked it, it was blinking green rather than the green light continuously being lit. This means that it is telling me to insert the battery. BUT, the battery is already inserted and I know it is inserted correctly! Any suggestions??? What do I do?? What is bad what is good??

I would like to know is Porter cable cordless drill a good drill for the money? They claim it has 410in LBS of torque. That is more than a makita. Does anyone have good experiences with this drill?
I left a link to show which one I am talking about.

I want to buy my father a cordless powertool kit and my budget is between 5-150. The kit I have decided on has a cordless drill, circular saw, reciprocating saw, and flashlight (w/2 battery packs). I see names like Hitachi, Porter-Cable, Skil, Craftsman, and Ryobi, but I don't know which is the best. All fall within my price range. As for DeWalt and Mikita, I just don't have the money for those. So, can anyone tell me which brand they would choose, given my budget limts?
I'm a DIY'er and new to the title.
I do not have many power tools, and am in the process of building my equipment. anyway to my question. I'm very interested in a porter cable set available at my local hardware store.
